Infernal body temperature
F not C, red name dude.
98 fahrenheit is normal. 98C is 208F.
I missed the joke too, I thought the joke was that 98F temperatures were hot enough to kill the average Brit
You’d be fine. Your blood wouldn’t even be boiling yet.
Mine would 😓
You’re clearly not under enough pressure. Maybe a gambling addiction would help.
Your blood tubes aren't an open container
That's what you think
Fair point but they aren’t exactly hermetically sealed either. I’d expect a lower atmospheric pressure to impose a stronger gradient between skin and vessels. Like if you can get the bends from ascending from depth too quickly, shouldn’t something happen in this case too?
WE CAN DRINK!
seems like a skill issue on your part smh
Normally I wouldn't make fun, but he even typed the word Celsius in his reply. It's almost like some small part of his brain was trying to throw him a clue.
I saw the °C, but my depressed brain intepreted as the imperial system because I'm just so used to it, and the immenent collapse of society doesn't help my brain function better
98.7 is likely close enough to boiling point that there'd surely be some bubbles. I'd expect your bubbles per minute to be more than 0.
How many bubbles before the pump fails and needs to be re-primed?
Usually 1 I think
Please don't boil your pump
Keep it to a light poach.
In many places around the world, it would be outright boiling. But I imagine internal organs would need a larger temperature.
A bunch of boiled meat? Must have been British.
F in chat
C in question
How curiously pertinent in more than one way…
In a Sauna it can be 98ºC, not the same extern temperature and body temperature. You'll die when your body temperature is over 42ºC, but you can support way higher extern temperatures (for a certain time)
The hottest you should have a Sauna is 90°C.
I was in one the other day that was 118. My first time being in one so hot, and it was... surprising.
Surprising how?
They died
Just never been in that kind of heat before. It was oppressively hot, breathing felt heavy, and sweat was pouring out like a dripping faucet. Interesting sensations
Sounds like a sweat lodge. I don't know how hot they get those normally.
Did that at summer camp as a kid, but memories are distant so it's hard to compare. Prob similar, I vaguely remember sweating like crazy
Most also less, but it also can get higher. Always important the preparation before and after the session a cold bath, apart of an strict time control to avoid accidents, sometimes deadly.

Holy fuck I did not know they were so hot, how does a human body even survive that for any amount of time.
Dry air doesn't conduct heat as well as humid air, and allows evaporative cooling through sweat

A cool burn!
Almost boiling... burn
98.7K - ice cold
98.7F - a-ok
98.7C - first degree burns for your first responders
98.7 KFC FOR ALL YOUR FAVORITE SOUTHERN FRIED ROCK WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI!
KFC! OMG I GET IT NOW!!!
First it's frozen, then it's thawed, then it's extra crispy!!!

If your ice is 98.7 K it would be Ice Ic with a different crystalline structure. It would probably taste like intense hot sauce turning your tongue black and causing it to fall out of your frostbitten mouth because you tried to lick Ice Ic you daft bastard.

This must be the reason for that spontaneous human combustion people talk about
The person who comment is from US right?
Venus, actually.
