_haha_oh_wow_Why Biking to Work Might Be the Best Decision You Ever Make
reddig33Yes, let’s all bike to work in 100 degree weather.
I bike at 100° plus all the time. It’s fine while you’re moving, it’s stopping that sucks, especially if you end up next to a lifted vehicle or big truck. The heat coming off the undercarriage is brutal.
If everyone would bike to work maybe we wouldn’t be contributing as much to climate change.
I've done it probably hundreds of times on a regular bicycle, it's even easier (and very comfortable) on an ebike.
You’re the exception, not the rule. People are dropping dead in this heat.
Heat is dangerous and can kill any of us, regardless of age or fitness level. I don't mean to minimize the danger, which is very real, but as long as you stay hydrated, pace yourself, and avoid too much exposure to extreme heat, it can be safely done (especially on an ebike).
Yeah so we should keep driving 100% of the time and let the world get hotter.
Where do you live? On Venus? At 100 degrees water evaporates!
Fahrenheit
Only a small minority of the world uses Fahrenheit… Why wouldn’t we automatically assume temperatures are in Celsius?
Where in the world have you ever witnessed hitting 100c?
A kettle?
A place, not an object. Also kettles don’t hit 100. The water inside gets to 100.
Bruh, wat? How do you think the water gets to 100C if the kettle doesn't hit 100C?

And this one is lengthy but it explains why. uses F for measurement units but it’s still gets the point across.

And finally a live demonstration of the paper cup used for boiling water
That's just saying that the heat is dissipating at the bottom of the heating element, in this case the kettle. The heat is moved by convection by the air molecules, then conduction by the kettle, then convection again by the water.
But for the water to reach the boiling temperature, it needs the underside of the kettle to reach its boiling temperature too. At sea level that would be 99.8C / ~100C, but at higher altitudes, it's less.
If the kettle did not reach the boiling temperature, the first law of thermodynamics would not be upheld: the total energy of an isolated system is constant aka conversation of energy. The water must reach a boiling temperature and the only item between the flame and the water is the kettle. If the kettle didn't reach the boiling temperature of water, the water would need to get the higher energy from another heat source. Without such an additional heat source, it would thus be getting it from the void, which would allow the creation of perpetuum mobile.
Also, the paper cup doesn't burn because it is thin enough to convect the heat to the water and thus not reach its combustion temperature (233C). It still reaches the boiling temperature of water for the reasons states above.
Because 100c is not a reasonable outside temperature
*just under 38c lol
Fuck that's hot. Goddamn. Who the hell bikes outside at that temperature? 🔥
I actually considered editing my post where I said 100° without specifying, but then thought no one would assume C with that number.
Guess I was wrong.
Annoyed_🦀 Yes, it’s 37°c everywhere on earth, no exception 🙄
No, no, you’re right. Sometimes it’s also snowing
I do, and not even on an ebike sometimes.
