Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yeah but there's no threshold temperature for hot. It being 105f isn't much different to being 95f.

But being sub zero is significant because water freezes which fundamentally changes your outdoors experience.

As someone who lives in an area where it frequently hits 95 to 105, there absolutely is a difference, especially when it's usually very high humidity here either way. 105 is too miserable to be outdoors unless necessary. 95 you could go to a park or the beach

Again, you're completely missing the point of my comment.

It being 105f isn't much different to being 95f.

Ooh, tell me you've never lived somewhere where both of those temperatures happen without saying exactly that

Those are very different heats

You're fundamentally missing the point of my comment.

Also I've lived in Cyprus in 45°c heat, so yes I do understand the difference .

To make my point again. The difference between 99f and 101f is purely one of temperature. Unlike 1c and -1c where alongside the temperature change, it's also now cold enough to freeze water, so you can have ice on roads and paths, it can snow and the air will be much dryer. So there is Ana actual threshold at 0c, whereas there isn't one at 100f
