So do people just not understand that temperature tolerance is a limited thing based on your climate and any deviations can feel significant?
No, they do not, and most of them aren't willing to understand, either.
People, or at least NT people, with higher temperature tolerance are almost always assholes about it - I have weird heat sensitivity, I suspect on account of my Autism, and I only stopped getting constant shit for it once I basically entirely stopped talking to NTs.
The people in this thread are just seizing on an excuse to shit on people they perceive as weaker, or an excuse to shit on the English as if they are actually inherently evil just by existing. Or both.
It's an byproduct of this site's podcast fandom origin. Some people don't understand that Chapo's "bullying is cool" bit is comedic irony aimed at wealthy journalists and politicians on twitter who never actually experience bullying and just have no context for seeing negative feedback to their broadly unpopular opinions.
It's also just common regional chauvinism. The same people here who say stuff like "just open a window dipshit, it's worse where I live and I think it's comfortable!" will go on to lament the seriousness of climate change elsewhere, then go right on to another post about low temperatures in winter and comment something like "just put on a sweater dipshit, it's worse where I live and I think it's comfortable!"
Yeah. The worst is how they always double down when confronted. It's the same shit libs do when confronted on their bigotries.
Ableism is, unfortunately, extremely common on hexbear.
I think that the shitting on the British is just overcompensation for having been really into Doctor Who and Sherlock in their Tumblr phase. I'm Australian, so I do love to insult the British, but people just overdo it.
I'm Chinese living in Australia, so I have 2 reasons to insult the British.
If I ever get power I'm flooding the UK with opium.
It is interesting to see high heat and associated sweating as quite a powerful stimulus which often causes overstimulation particularly in people with neuro divergence. So sometimes it's not even a heat tolerance problem but an overstimulation problem which NTs seem to have a hard time understanding.
Also like others have said, perception of temperature changed is largely dependent on where your current baseline is.
We used to be able to shit on the English, now we can't because of woke ☹️
Not to mention that just from person to person within the same climate there are significant differences, probably genetic at their core. Two people can be sitting in the exact same spot and one will be burning up and the other freezing cold and neither of them are "wrong"
Part of it can also be if a person has had heat injuries before too. After you have one, you become more sensitive and vulnerable to heat. I know, the I've had a couple... :-(
Tbf if thats higher than the infrastructure can support it will cause problems even if thats not that hot. Like they dont have AC anywhere. All the infrastructure is made to keep heat in because it was so cold
IIRC they're also not built to keep the heat in because like 5000 people died due to cold weather in 2022/23. Seems like the UK has had the copper wire ripped out of the walls slightly faster than other imperialist countries.
The UK has the worst housing stock in western Europe. Homes are not only prohibitively expensive, they are also smaller, less energy efficient and in worse repair than in neighbouring countries.
you don't need AC for 26C unless you're a literal snowflake
Death to America
Even then, 26 C is not particulary hot. That's a normal summer here in Germany, where we also barely have any AC.
Dress lightly, keep shades down and windows closed over the day and you have it cool inside. Most european buildings keep the heat out and the warmth in, depending on the time of the year. Because most of europe has continental climate, relatively hot summers and relatively cold winters.
That works great until you need to cook dinner, or use the computer, or any other appliance that produces a lot of heat...
It's not unlivable, sure, but it makes it hard to be productive with anything. I had broken AC for a month in the US South once, wouldn't wish it on anyone
Insulation works both ways. If it's hot outside, just keep the windows closed and the house will stay cooler. Open them at night after it's cooled down.
I would simply open a window and turn on a fan.
You eat toasted bread between two untoasted pieces of bread.
Sugar is too spicy.
You'll literally die if you don't get a "pint" in you daily.
Your red and look like a bulldog.
You are English.
They eat what
no one actually eats that it's just for sick people in the olden days or very poor people
I thought you were exaggerating for comedic effect 
They eat what

I'll defend the islanders and their weak constitutions.
At high enough humidity you can't cool down from sweat, so a 88°F/31°C wetbulb temperature can be lethal. Add in sunlight, combining radiation with convection, which gives the extra 9°F/5°C needed to kill you. Humidity and direct sunlight can make 79° lethal, especially when combined with physical exertion.
It's not just the gout and aristocratic inbreeding that's killing them I swear!
For those wondering why this is bad in the UK, it's currently 3am and the humidity is 85%.
We have a very wet country. These temperatures are very difficult to cool down in with this kind of humidity.
lmao are english people ok? it is 95 degrees outside where I am as we speak and i dont consider this unusual in the least
Also 95 here, but after visiting the UK during one of their “heat waves” I’d rather be here in Florida at 95 than the UK at 80.
Here we’ve built our society around air conditioning, I move from climate controlled space to climate controlled space spending as little time out in the 95 degrees as possible. For the short time it’s nice outside, our houses are largely built to encourage a cross-breeze from one end to the other.
In the UK even though it wasn’t as hot outside there was no relief. Nowhere had AC. Not the houses, not the businesses, not the busses or trains or stations. All the buildings were made to keep air and heat in, so everywhere was 90 degrees inside. They barely even had ice for drinks most places.
And to add on top of that, people there aren’t acclimated to the heat. I keep it at 78 degrees inside my apartment, but when I first moved here I would’ve been dying at 78 indoors.
I feel sympathy for the people of TERF Island when temperatures are genuinely too high because the infrastructure is actually not built to handle temperatures like 32C (90F).
But 26C is straight up nice day outside/just open your windows and dress lightly weather. Actually my room temp in the US right now with no AC is warmer than this and humid and I have no fan running lol.
Apparently the stiff upper lip melts at room temperature.
It's not the heat it's the humidity. Also we don't really do AC in our homes.
Homie I live in the South and you wouldn’t catch me calling 79° comfortable on any given day, except perhaps a dry day.
How the hell do so many of you not understand that some people actually have work manual labor outside in the sun?
"sTaY iN tHe sHadE aNd tUrN oN a fAn lol" 
Great thread to prove my theory that Americans aren't actually real people, but just homonculi built with an inherent compulsive desire to be the greatest white people on the planet, and absolutely no restrictions on being dumb assholes about it.
No need to worry. $500,000,000 will be sent to ukraine to solve this problem
it's june and 79 F is still higher than the average high of july, the hottest month
but yea only cracker problems, places, languages, ethnicities, foods exist
26 clesius is pretty nice to me. Now around 30 it starts getting hot for me. 26 though ? thats still a pretty nice warm temp for me.
Its fucking consistently 40 c where I am. Fuckin oi bruvs
26C "heatwave" 😂
Bitch, my AC is set to 28C right now, and the outside temp is 38C. It's the coolest day of the week, the other day it was 40C IN THE FUCKING SHADES! Flip flops are literally melting under your feet as you walk on the sidewalk.
If that's wet bulb temp, that's annoying weather to work in. Just sweat and humidity.
embarrassing country, fucking christ i hate england
