I did the math:
Room temperature is often defined as 20 degrees Celsius (although I remember it being 23C in some old textbooks).
20+16.6 is 36.6 which is the normal temperature of a human body.
20+18.6 is 38.6 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.
AFAIK ~42.0 degrees is lethal.
F=1.8C+32 but for anyone else too lazy to do the math since the Americans are awake:
I did the math:
Room temperature is often defined as 68 degrees Fahrenheit (although I remember it being 73.4 in some old textbooks).
68+29.9 is 97.9 which is the normal temperature of a human body.
68+33.5 is 101.5 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.
AFAIK ~107.6 degrees is lethal.
Who the hell keeps their house at 68F?! 74-78 is my preferred temp but I can cope all the way to 85. But you turn that below 70 and we’re gonna have a problem (both in the “I’m fucking cold, bitch” sense as well as the “do you own the electrical company or something? I didn’t know you’re a billionaire”)
I do.
I sleep at 60. House is 65 all day between November and April. We don’t get true winter here so the heat hardly has to run. In May/June when we need to start running the AC, everything goes up 10-12 degrees.
I can’t cope much over about 78. 80 degrees indoors and I’ve got no fewer than three fans aimed at myself. Gas bills in winter are relatively low. I’d like to get a little unit just for the bedroom and the computer room, then I don’t have to cool the whole house to stay comfortable. Leave the house at 82 during the day and keep the rooms I’m in at 72.
I’m the kind of guy to wear shorts when it’s below freezing outside.
I start to sweat if it’s much above 21 (70 F) indoors, I prefer it to be around 18 (64.4F) to 19 (66F). Of course that is in winter where outside temps are well below freezing, in the summer I tend to sleep in the basement during the hottest period since I can’t sleep if it’s too hot
I thought the same thing! Though since I pay the electric bill and have electric heat, I’m keeping my place whatever the fuck temperature it wants to be.
I keep my house at 55 during the week and 60 on weekends. 51 at night.
Edit: I sleep with a window open even when it’s 10 degrees out and I have a window fan to pull that fresh air in. My wife tolerates it, but I get snuggled more because I run so hot, so it’s a win.
My apartment is 50F, i only heat up when it goes lower than that
I also wear 4 layers of cloth on me
Say what you want, but a fever knocking you out and having you dream weird stuff is the best part about being sick
That’s like saying the best part of being interrogated is the waterboarding because it’s refreshing
Getting decapitated really got a weight off my chest!
“waterboarding in Guantanamo Bay” sounds like something fun
Have to agree, felt the need to wrap up warm when I was ill once, went to sleep and it was the best sleep in my life. Woke up drenched in sweat and hot as Satan’s crack but the sleep and dreams were great
I’ve never had a fever this bad
Really? You’re missing out.
They’re not called fever dreams for nothing.
Ok, lemme go to a hospital rq and see if there’s anyone coughing. (/j)
Call me crazy, but the fever wank is a great wank. You feel so cleared out, and it helps you sleep and recuperate.
