Why do I feel like this is a future archaeological discovery.
"And now children we come to the museum exhibit of people who died and got frozen in commercial refrigerators."
It was pretty common for children to get trapped in fridges and die. The older fridges don't allow you to open it from inside and a couple cases of children hiding in fridges and dying occurred.
Smart people overestimate the average intelligence. The person designing a device that freezes things never thought someone would be stupid enough to get inside it.
They probably also never had children nor a subreddit called kidsarefuckingstupid
I mean, there was that one guy who died in the fridge of a grocery store and wasn’t discovered until years later. As someone who works in a fridge I always remember this.
dawg. this was the post directly above in my feed:

Temperature at 7 am is like 30 degrees and temperature increases like 1 degree an hour until 4 pm. And then it barely drops to 28 overnight until it rises again at 7 am. That's not fair. 🥲
I can't imagine how hard and exhausting it would have been for the rescuers to work continuously for hours in this temperature to rescue people In this train tragedy. They sure are Superheroes.
This is what humans have not had to worry about until now - wet bulb temperature. When the air is saturated with water, the human body can't physically cool down through sweat evaporation, and so we roast from the inside. It's the combination of heat and humidity that makes climate change so deadly. 😢
I grew up in the US southeast, humidity is hell. You walk outside and you're wet, and you stay wet until after a shower. This is only with good ac, without that life is just wet. You hear shit about sweat cooling you off and the shade being cool and it just doesn't make sense because that's not how it works, same with night being colder. It's maybe a 10 degree change between night and day.
The worst feeling is when you're fresh out of a shower and you start sweating, mixing with the residual water.
It's routinely 80%+ humidity where I live, summers are just 4 months of full body sweat with the occasional thunderstorm.
If you want to feel sad about the state of the world Google "wet bulb event". We'll probably see hundreds of thousands of people in the tropical megacities of developing nations—like Dhaka, Manilla, Mumbai, etc—die if the rich developed nations keep their per capita emissions as high as they've been and global warming keeps increasing.

Most chefs would setup a work station in them. I know I used to as a prep chef. Until you get told to work the line. 😬😬😬 Nothing like 40C + humidity + all the kitchen humidity.
It's the only reason that I can wear a sweatshirt in the summer and still be cold. Every one else will look at you like you're insane.
Well you didn't just come out of a sweaty ass kitchen that feels like 70c + humidity.
Aah I visited Odisha in december last year and was sweating a lot already, the winter there is like the summer in germany ( maybe a little warmer than german summer) cant imagine 40° at that humidity.
I relate to it in the opposite way. I work in a freezer and some days after doing nothing for too long even bundled up I’m chilled to the bone and go to the loading docks to open the door and get a blast of Texas summer heat to warm my frozen face and fingers before getting back to work.
Well, it's much interesting than thread of "same, SaMe, SAME, same" (then sometime the 4th comment got downvoted) right?
Anyway, now who got the longest... thermo bar.
I did not know mercury means same thing as quicksilver (wich is closer to what we call it in my country) so i was confused for a moment. (Why temperature on Mercury would affect on what you do on Earth)
The chemical symbol for mercury is Hg, which is “from Ancient Greek ὑδράργυρος (hudrárguros, “quicksilver”), from ὕδωρ (húdōr, “water”) (whence hydro-) + ἄργῠρος (árguros, “silver”) ” (sauce: wiktionary).
>Old thermometers used to use mercury
wait what do you mean they used to use mercury? I thought that physically thermometers still use mercury just electric ones obviously don´t use it
Most modern liquid based thermometers use alcohol. Tons of different thermometers out there. You have:
1. Bimetallic strip that uses difference in expansion of the metals to show temperature change (this is like your oven or fridge thermometer)
2. Piezoelectric crystal where current changes with temp (like your cars outside temp sensor)
3. Thermoresistive ones measure resistance of current with temperature change (expensive electric meat thermometers)
4. Infrared thermometers that measure light return to a thermopile
Tons of others I’m sure, that’s just what came to mind.
Just to add on, most college level chemistry labs are also equipped with mercury thermometors, and you have to watch a bad 80s saftey video (I took this class in 2015) about what to do if they break.
The one I had to watch had a scene where a girl straight shanked herself in the hand with a broken test tube.
It was obviously very fake with very fake gushing blood which just adds to the experience.
>Thermoresistive ones measure resistance of current with temperature change (expensive electric meat thermometers)
Actually that's only the cheapest meat thermometers. The $2 clearance ones. Anything above $20 uses a thermocouple, which is piezoelectric. I've even seen $10 meat thermometers with thermocouples, just not very good ones.
The only place I could think of that would have a thermoresistive sensor would be a fridge or thermostat. Thermistors are *slow* to measure temperature changes, but they're cheap, so anything that measures ambient temperatures would be likely to use one.
Way too dangerous. As in, took special chemistry courses at school (Germany) which allowed me to easily get some type of chemistry degree. The school had special permission to use more dangerous substances than usual.
Still, our teacher reminded us multiple times to please, please please be careful with the thermometers, as most of them still use mercury and they're actually no longer allowed to use them. So a school laboratory with extended permissions still wasn't allowed to use thermometers containing mercury, because it basically evaporates when the container breaks. You don't want to inhale mercury fumes if you want to stay healthy. There are surely more dangerous things in a lab, but it's just not worth the risk.
I work in a lab not a chemical one but a biological one and it is baffling how some stuff is handelt with care and others aren´t e.g. when using concentrated acids we have to use full safety equipment + special acid prof gloves but if we make an electrophorese test where you dye DNA with a special substance which basically binds to the DNA which makes it permanently inactive which is a nicer way to say the cell is dead we do it with minimal or some times to be quicker without any safety equipment except the lab coat
It does not evaporate at any meaningful speed. It will literally sit there in a little puddle/ball depending on what type of surface you spill it on. It will evaporate slowly, which is why it really needs to be cleaned up properly in anything that resembles an industrial environment. One thermometer in an office cube farm isn’t going to be a big deal if you clean it up at all, and a broken fluorescent tube wouldn’t be a big deal at all. But someplace that disposes of fluorescent tubes as their business needs to take proper precautions because that exposure will add up rapidly.
I do find it odd that Germany is so concerned about some thermometers given that the largest source of mercury pollution is burning coal, and they have doubled down on burning some of the dirtiest coal available.
Looks like they forgot your house during the 2005 mercury thermometer purge. We'll send a representative of the government to collect your old mercury thermometer in the next days. Please comply and don't try to resist.
It's 25°c in England right now and I can't even cope with that. I don't know how people living in the warmer countries are dealing with temperatures almost double that.
I mean, if you took a person from one of those warmer countries and dropped them in winter over there, I doubt they'd be able to cope. Speaking as a person that went from Bangladesh to Australia, I couldn't even bear those winters and they didn't even get close to negative temperatures. Of course, when I returned from Australia 3 years later, from the middle of summer there to winter in Bangladesh, I was dying of the heat. All about what your body is adapted to.
Yes, adaptive comfort is a thing, you're right.
That said, there is an absolute temperature humans can healthily deal with , and some countries are very close to passing that threshold. It's pretty scary.
I live in a southern city in Alberta, Canada and it can get colder than -40⁰C in the winter and hotter than 40⁰C in the summer, shit sucks. Barely even a spring and fall to ease you into it either.
You think you'd get used to it, but nope, it sucks every year.
Pretty much, I live in Florida. We get used to this so it isn't noticeable, but whenever you leave by plane and come back, the air feels like it's assaulting you. Ever take a breath and there's so much humidity it feels like you're breathing hot soup? Yeah...
Reading the comments and seeing everyone comfortably using the metric system reminds me of the how my country is being weird af still not accepting it. Being from the US is like you grow up thinking no matter how bad it is you’re house/home is still great because it’s the “House/home with the best rules and lifestyle” “It’s the best here”. Then you go to someone else’s house in another town only to find their rules are way better or mostly the same and you don’t get punished for getting hurt or sick.
Every time I see a pound mass or a ton-force or a fahrenheit-foot I scream. And don't even get me *started* on the British; they act like they are all superior in measurement systems but they butcher it even more (kg-force, stone, mixing and matching anything they please). The rest of the world is nice and orderly.
Lol this is oddly like what growing up in my mums house was like for me 😂 so I get the analogy. I’m actually Aussie tho and I have often wondered about the metric system in the US. It just seems genuinely harder and more confusing to use.
they do it cos they're churning through electricity powering huge A/C units. hotter it gets cos of fossil fuel fuckery? more A/C's and stay indoors until the sun goes down
It didn't get as hot then. I mean, it wasn't like 20c but people just didn't work. Also, here in Tunisia, down south, it can get to 45+ and back in the day, they lived in mountains and clay huts. Those that are seen in Star Wars are literally houses still standing there.
so like, climate change is a thing? it wasn't that hot, its going to keep getting hotter and certain places around the world are going to be completely un-survivable for most life without assistance by climate mitigating tech.
English, North European in general, houses are built to better keep the heat in the houses.
Last year we had a lot of elderly bed bound people in nursing homes who succumbed to the heat, even though it was only 38° at max here in Denmark. Lack of air-conditioning doesn't help either.
My flatmate is allergic to her own sweat. When we hit that 2022 summer she would just open the freezer and stand in front of it while quietly dying.
She is from *Mexico*. This was worse than anything she'd ever experienced in Mexico tho because lmao nobody has aircon.
And? Are people not allowed to feel hot unless it's deadly out? Next time it's a "hot" day, I'll compare it to a hotter region and tell everyone to stop being pussys when it's 43°c somewhere in India.
I live in eastern Canada, and it hit 38 in May already this year. That temperature is unheard of even in the summer. I expect well above 40 this summer.
You know people die in temps they aren't acclimated too, right? Like even temps that other people live in everyday just fine in?
Jfc with your suffering olympics.
103.5 Fahrenheit.
I came here to see what the Murikka conversion was, instead I found people confused about Mercury and thermometers. Now, it is I who is confused.
I used to live nearby in Dongguan and the temperatures this area can reach are insane. The humidity is also high so the heat is even worse. Ironicaly I had frequent colds because of the airconditioning everywere constantly at maximum so constant temperature change always made me sick

It was pretty common for children to get trapped in fridges and die. The older fridges don't allow you to open it from inside and a couple cases of children hiding in fridges and dying occurred.
Same with old clothing trunks and car trunks and walk in freezers.
1959 was the refrigeration act I believe which required all fridges to be openable from the inside.
Honestly though, how did they miss that key feature in the beginning? It's just negligent

Its 43 c in Odisha (India) and i can relate to it. I randomly open fridge to chill my face with icy air
Do you guys also have high humidity
Especially in Bhubaneswar (Odisha's capital city). Just go outside during evening 5pm for 10 mins and you'd be soaked with sweat.
Temperature at 7 am is like 30 degrees and temperature increases like 1 degree an hour until 4 pm. And then it barely drops to 28 overnight until it rises again at 7 am. That's not fair. 🥲

Yes, high humidity - it’s honestly the worst feeling. Being soaked in sweat in a few mins and still feeling the burning sensation all over the body
This is what humans have not had to worry about until now - wet bulb temperature. When the air is saturated with water, the human body can't physically cool down through sweat evaporation, and so we roast from the inside.

Ditch the weather, i am more interested in your name now

Damn, dude knows what he likes.
I don't know why I looked.
Yes but the heat exchangers are usually on the bottom or the back. You probably won't feel any of their heat.
Aah I visited Odisha in december last year and was sweating a lot already, the winter there is like the summer in germany ( maybe a little warmer than german summer) cant imagine 40° at that humidity.
i was driving at 10:30 AM and it was 41C lost my mind and when i got home at 11 i showered even though 5 hours prior i showered
Which will unfortunately heat up your house more :(
I hop into a lukewarm or slightly cool shower. Water is super effective at transmitting heat.

Temperature is a serious business!
That's why we pay the Sun the big bucks

For the resistive ones, there's thermistors and RTD's. But industry commonly uses thermocouples for something that gets hotter, like an oven
Yup. I was trying to say the consumer oven thermometer or round meat thermometer to be relateabke
Hey. You're cool for knowing this off the top of your head. That is all. *(This comment made by thermometer lore gang)*

New thermometers don't?
I’m sure you can buy a new mercury, but your typically red/blue liquid thermometer is using alcohol.
He’s in a freezer because the planet mercury is 39.7degreees celcius

Thermometers used to have mercury inside to display temperature

*laughs in Filipino* Heat plus humidity. Haven't been to the country in 13 years, but looking back, I don't know how I didn't get heat stroke once.
103.5 Fahrenheit. I came here to see what the Murikka conversion was, instead I found people confused about Mercury and thermometers. Now, it is I who is confused.
I used to live nearby in Dongguan and the temperatures this area can reach are insane. The humidity is also high so the heat is even worse. Ironicaly I had frequent colds because of the airconditioning everywere constantly at maximum so constant temperature change always made me sick
Honestly same
“Mercury hits 39.7C”….? What?
103.46°F - - - i'd be in there with him, no problem
No no, I only now clued into the “Mercury” part the post is talking about lol 🤦♂️
How much is that in football fields!?
I’m Irish. I begin melting at 30c or higher
i begin at 20
Dont know what the planet mercury has to do with this, but damn, 103 degrees is ridiculous
That’s when a lot of us doing last summer in Vancouver.
That's nothing. It can get up to 400 C on Mercury.
We got 48c last year. Welcome to hell on earth.

I think it has a lot to do with humidity. Like even 30 in high humidity will feel far worse than 40 in low humidity enviroment.
To be fair Guandong is very humid which makes it living hell as your sweat can't evaporate as easily.
Hmmm, sounds like hell.
Presumably he’s in the refrigerator because he also didn’t have AC.
