And I've already explained that "twenty degrees below body temperature" is cool, and "but what if there are also a ton of extra, additional things on top of that like open flames and parkas and heavy exercise and no water and still air and also it's underwater and also the water is boiling and and and and..." doesn't change that, because those are additional, other things that are bad in and of themselves and would be a problem if it were 30 degrees below body temperature or 40 degrees below body temperature.
There is absolutely no case in which a temperature below 80F can be considered hot, and "it doesn't do enough on its own to mitigate these other extra, additional environmental hazards that are unrelated to it" doesn't change that.
I'd love to see you have this conversation with someone who works in like road construction or something.
I worked in street markets in Egypt in +100 degree temperatures. Do I get to make fun of frail Angloids?
I work in a factory in Iowa, anything above 70 and I sweat tons because I'm doing physical labor in a humid environment. Yes, if I don't dress appropriately and have fans pointed at me and drink lots of water (which I do!), I could get very sick.
