Random afd fanboy: “that’s just summer”
The neat thing is: It’s a record high. It was literally never this hot before.
Not that these discussions are about facts at all, but now you have one to confront them with.
“Fun” fact: this heat wave already has a Wikipedia page that also shows of the 22 affected areas only four (Austria, Jersey, Slovakia and Slovenia) have not (yet) recorded a record high temperature.
41.5 C is 106.7 Freedom units. That’s too hot. Yikes.

We use two °° symbols because they remind us of bitchin’ truck exhaust pipes.
Nothing is quite so American as truck nuts.
Also bitchin’ tits.
Fake degrees are imaginary numbers.
All numbers are made up. Celsius is no less fake than farenheit. They are both derived from actual physical processes (an amount of energy required to change the temperature of a specific amount of water), just using different units.
Several accounts of how he originally defined his scale exist, but the original paper suggests the lower defining point, 0 °F, was established as the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride (a salt).[2][3] The other limit established was his best estimate of the average human body temperature, originally set at 90 °F, then 96 °F (about 2.6 °F less than the modern value due to a later redefinition of the scale).[2]
Yeah, the freezing point of a random solution, and the perceived temperature of the human body makes as much sense as the freezing and boiling point of water for reference. Kelvin is objectively better, but centigrade is immediately understandable as it uses easily understandable reference points.
Ok cool.
Germany has laws about requiring a certain heating level in the winter for safety and comfort reasons. I hope we can vote the CDU out next opportunity and talk about requiring a certain cooling level in the summer because it’s dangerously hot in most apartments these days.
I won’t rant about landlords here but like, if there isn’t a law this change won’t happen and people will die because of it. I can’t imagine living in a Dachgeschoss right now. My last one got ~5-10 degrees hotter than outside.
Also Germany: MORE COAL!

How much longer till we all die anyways
That’s like the daily temp in South Florida right now… And we haven’t even hit August yet.
We haven’t hit July yet
