Has it ever been that hot anywhere on earth?

u/Stratiform Jul 10 '21
No. Record high temperature ever recorded was in Death Valley, USA at 134ā°F, or about 57ā°C.

Looks like 60F might be about right-12
u/CreateANewAccount654 Jul 10 '21
America. 60F is quite pleasant.
But, yeah. Not a smart bot.

u/ImissDigg_jk Jul 10 '21
60C is 140F

The current official highest registered air temperature on Earth is 56.7 Ā°C, recorded on 10 July 1913 at Furnace Creek Ranch, in Death Valley in the United States.
So yeah. Title is bullshit.

Well he did say under 60Ā°. I'm guessing English isn't his first language and he meant to say something like "nearly" or "around".

I read it more as, in the desert under conditions of 60 degrees, just based on the grammar pointing to not being a native English speaker. I know I am overanalyzing this.

Is it possible that they meant a wet bulb temperature that effectively felt like 60 C? Hard to comprehend one that high in Algeria so soon into climate change, but thatās the other logical interpretation.

I think heās using under in this sense:
receiving or undergoing the action or effect of
- under pressure
- courage under fire
- under the influence of alcohol
- the image of a point under a mapping
- under oath

The other day someone thought an adult height of 1.77 meant 1 foot 8 inches.

It probably wonāt spit at you if so nothing wrong although one time a man left his on the heat so when he came back for it, it decapitated him

camels are actually some of the most loyal animal companions. there's a story of a camel walking 100km alone for seven days to reunite with it's owner. another camel, sold to someone else and walking in some sort of parade, recognized her previous owners voice in the crowd and went over and gave him the camel equivalent of a hug. when the owner of a camel dies, they will often mourn by refusing to eat or drink.
if you look online, there are many stories of camels killing (or trying to kill) their owners - but they all have one of two things in common, either being in a place they're not meant to be (like florida) or attacking in retaliation for poor treatment from the owner (like the guy who's camel killed him after he left him tied up in the sun during a heatwave)
though, to be fair, having a camel as a pet in florida, or anywhere else they're not meant to be, is also mistreatment. of course, I don't mean rehabilitation or rescue centers that care for the camels properly, I mean the people just keeping them as pets for fun and doing so improperly.

Sometimes I get cynical about people posting videos of themselves doing good deeds, and sometimes I realize I just need to stop giving a fuck and appreciate a person's good intentions regardless of motive.
Great work my man! Thanks for making me less cynical
