Fun fact, frogs won’t actually sit in the water, they always jump out when it gets too hot. Hilariously, humans are one of the few species of animals that will cook.
The test was around brain dead frogs to see if they’d jump out or boil to death… Not about functional frogs.
Humans confirmed worse than brain dead frogs
RIP. Good thing I’m a bot. Otherwise I’d be embarrassed af
It’s like shooting yourself with smaller bullets to build up a resistance to higher calibers
When I was a kid, I asked a science teacher: “Why don’t humans just evolve to adapt to the ozone layer being gone”
The teacher responded: “That’s not how evolution works…” (and then explained it)
An UNDER-PAID TEACHER can understand that, are these journalists just kids who never paid attention in class?
I mean, evolution kind of might work around the ozone layer being gone. People just need to have children before the skin cancer kills them and that’s totally possible. Might be good if the parents don’t die when the kids are too little.
Evolution really doesn’t care about your personal well-being and won’t help you. It might “evolve” the human race to get children earlier in their teens, because everybody over 30 is dead from skin cancer and microplastics, but maybe the better solution is to use something different in hair spray and fridges.
Oh my god, I thought this was an Onion meme.
2023 too, and not a cherry-picked misquote.
WTF.
Yep. Very much so. Same for cold and high altitudes. Our bodies really are extra badass. Low oxygen- more red blood cells and hemoglobin concentration. Cold- blood thickens.
Fun fact: proffesional distance bikers and runners will often go train for several weeks before a race in high altitudes as a means to increase red blood cell counts without “doping”. All the benefits of cheating but without technically cheating.
Just so we’re on the same page, I wasn’t unsure whether it is possible to acclimatise one’s body to different temperatures but whether this was something someone actually had the gall to write about as a “climate solution”.
Oh. I got ya. Lol
Also, occasionally, athletes just fucking drop dead while doing so. And they’re the healthiest among us.
Autopsies always find that they have defective hearts or heart valves if it isn’t an aneurysm. Healthy athletes never really drop dead without a pre existing cause.
or shitloads of drugs
I’m gonna take a wild guess that the “experts” have air-conditioned homes and workplaces.
Make them live without AC for the entire next summer and let’s see if their “expert” opinion changes.
They were asked these questions by journalists and they answered. Don’t blame scientists for idiot media people.
Scientists can be absolutely the biggest idiots. I worked maintenance in a laboratory and sometimes I was impressed somebody who can genotype plankton could also tie their own shoes.
Sure, I never claimed the opposite :) I just think in this case, the one to blame is whoever came up with the idea for this article, not the people who were asked questions.
I used to go on 1-2 hour walks every day, the heat never felt less bad.
Step one: undergo a lobotomy
I never would have thought Bezos was a Stalinist…
