    Oh I’m not arguing it’s a hot temp and exerting yourself in those temps is very much a death sentence; especially without water. I’m saying that many people in the world have lived through those temperatures. Research studies have a way of making things a bit more dire than what is normally human survivable, probably for legal/medical moral reasons.

    The US military definitely has rules against 40+ WBT and state how many hours of work per hours of rest we could have in high temp+humidity levels. However, I, and anyone who had to deploy or live in East Africa (like Djibouti) or the Middle East can definitely attest, 50WBT is survivable for 8 hours days. Again, not talkin’ elderly or sick persons.

    I don’t want to be rude, and I completely am all for combating climate change, but 39C is not baking your insides…

    I have been deployed to multiple places that were 52C (~125F) in the day/night with high humidity levels, in full long sleeve/pants for 8 hours at a time. 39C (~102F) is hot, but not bake you from the inside type of hot.

    Elderly and sick are people not included in what I said above for obvious reasons.

    Crazy enough, the Bible wasnt written all at once. The Bible was written over a span of approximately 1,300 years (depending on your historical, linguistic, and theological beliefs of course).

    • The Old Testament, also known as the Hebrew Bible, was written between approximately the 12th century BC and the 2nd century BC.
    • The New Testament was written in the first century AD, from approximately AD 50 to AD 100.

    So probably a bit of the old testament could have been written while under the influence of mushrooms as that’s when we were experimenting with wild mushrooms.

    But what do I know, the picture says I died from mushrooms.
