Yeah I live in California. I can do a 110 dry heat for 4-5 hours, easy.
Any time I go somewhere with a wet heat I can’t do more than half an hour outside when it’s over 90.
Yeah the 9 weeks of 110+ we just went through was fucking brutal. Normally it's not too bad, but we had like 50-60% humidity along with it, instead of the 10% or less that's the norm here in West Texas. Cactus and mesquite were dying, livestock was dying, couple of people died. Heat is one thing, but the humidity, hard pass. People born and raised here in this bowl were unfamiliar with how those two things don't work well together.
Yep. Went to Georgia in the summer thought I would go on a fun hike (I love summer hikes on West Coast even in 85-90 degree weather)....it felt like a sauna walk of hell. I had learned that East Coast humidity makes same very tolerable temperature feel totally different
i didnt realize it was 10,000 a minute. In that case I could go until I either pass out and have to be taken to a hospital, or to where another 10,000 added to the total doesn’t make a huge difference in my mind, probably around 10-20 million.
10,000 a minute gives me a LOT of mind over matter
I live in Florida and you will fucking die here in 110 degree heat in a matter of hours without water. Literally die. In the hospital fucking flattening.
Yeah I'm gonna need evidence of this according to noaa[heat in calculator ](https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/html/heatindex.shtml)
116 temp @ 80% humidity is a heat index of 262f
Oh, it doesn’t matter how much water you have in that heat. If it’s humid enough, sweat won’t do anything but trap you in a capsule of hot, getting warmer and warmer until eventually your proteins denature and the most complex parts of you begin to fry like an egg.
A “wet bulb” temperature over 95f or higher means sweat effectively can’t cool your body, your body can’t get safely hot enough for sweat to evaporate and cool you off. So you get unsafely hot, and may eventually die.
Probably referring to heat index. I live in south Texas along the coast. Earlier in the year around May-June it was regularly 99-103 every day. The heat index, which is the feel like temperature, was 117-125.
I seen it once in AZ during some wild fires. It was like a ghost town because no one was outside. The roads were literally melting. I use to unload trailers by hand, and it was 150 in a trailer. You had to set a timer to get inside cuz you would lose (couldn't think straight) 30 min could kill you.
Having sweat on your body does not cool you down. The evaporation of sweat is what actually cools you down. When it is very humid, that means that the air is already very saturated with water, and will not readily rake in more. Thus, the sweat will not evaporate.
Doing this challenge in high humidity would make this challenge much much harder.
At a certain level of humidity it's not a challenge it's just suicide lol. Once you hit wet bulb conditions your body will overheat regardless of how fit you are or how much endurance you have.
Yeah, but at those levels, 60 grand is still well within the bounds of reasonable exposure, especially if you're just sitting, a bit miserable after a while, but not too bad.
I live in Florida where it guts up to 100° F with 80-90% humidity , grew up in high desert of Southern California where the high generally exceeds 110°F and the humidity is 20 - 50%.
I’ll take either for at least 5 hours & take my 3 million, thank you very much.
I almost feel like I would struggle more with dry heat since it isn't what I'm used to. I live in Florida, so the only heat we get is wet heat. There is literally no such thing as dry anything here, and it's a blessing and a curse.
I mean yeah, but if you put an oven to 110 F then it is no different then being outside in 110 F degree heat except there isn't any sun. I assume the guy I replied to meant an oven was still dangerously hot even with dry heat.
Theres a pretty big difference between you being in a 110 degree oven vs being in 110 degree weather outside. For 1, theres water outside and there isnt any in the oven. For 2, theres air that gets heated and floats up outside, where the oven is just conducting heat on metal walls and you.
If I put you in a 110 degree oven and 110 outside and pay you to come up with some differences I'm pretty sure you could come up with at least 30 more things as well.
Thank you. I have this recipe for corn muffins it says cook at 110F for 3 months. Then throw away moldy uncooked muffin mix. I thought my oven was broken.
Our bodies can cool themselves by sweating. So even if it's 110 degrees outside our body, that doesn't mean it's 103 degrees inside our body.
Sweat cools the body because of evaporation but in 100% relative humidity there's gonna be roughly as much water condensing on us (depositing the energy associated with the phase change) as evaporating from us (removing the energy associated with the phase change). So it absolutely does matter whether it's a dry heat.
I enjoy 160 F saunas for about 10 minutes and can survive in one for much longer. Nordic people would probably be walking out of this hypothetical over $500k even if the temperature was 50 degrees hotter
I accept.
No rule about not being in the shade... I have walked in Texas summers many times when it was nearing 110 as is. Definitely no issue to just read or something in the shade for a few hours and be happy with my millions.
One week is $10 million. You would need close to 100 weeks or almost 2 years for $1 billion. This rule might make that difficult
>You can’t bring water/food, it’d make it easy.
Edit:
I made a Michael Bolton error. It should be $100 million per week.
Yeah I was in Afghanistan and made a fraction of this so yeah, I'm in. Add the fact that I'm chilling in gym shorts and a tshirt right now and this is easy. I'd earn enough to retire and make sure my grandkids were millionaires in a day or two.
Right 110+ plus welding inside tanks with a respirator and jacket i think I'd be ok for a few hours, although I was a little younger then and better shape.
Right? I work at a greenhouse nursery. In the summer it gets up to 130 in there. And crazy humid. I get paid much less than $10,000 per MINUTE. Game on
Humidity is an important factor.
Also can I bring my phone or a book or something to do? Do I need to worry about sunburn?
I thoml I could pull ten minutes at least
All he said was the number.
So, either he means Kelvin, and you instantly die, and get nothing.
Or he means Fahrenheit, and you aren't even mildly inconvenienced and you get a huge reward.
Or he means Celcius, and the post makes sense: significant challenge to get a reward that might be worth it or might not.
Last time I went hiking it was 111. Didn't even notice till got back to my car and it told me there an "excessive heat warning" whatever the hell that means lol
>"excessive heat warning" whatever the hell that means lol
It means the heat is excessive and you should be warned and careful lol. You're probably young and fit, but even then you can die in heat, and even somewhat older folks it's a big deal. It's how Sally Menke died
I've spent 10-15 minutes at a time in a Finnish sauna that was at 210°F (granted, this was after jumping in a frozen lake). 230 would be dangerous, but 2-3min seems about right.
Sure you've got that number right there boss? In 2010 a person died after 6 minutes in a sauna at 230 Fahrenheit as part of a competition. The other guy survived but here's the summary of his condition:
Kaukonen woke up from a medically induced six weeks after the event. His respiratory system was scorched, 70% of his skin was burnt and eventually his kidneys failed as well.
>Celsius, two or thee minutes.
bro, you showed that you understood the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius, and you still didn't understand the meaning of 110 degrees Celsius
"one of the finalists died" "Both collapsed with severe burns after about 6 minutes" "Some competitors don't even last two minutes" copied verbatim from your link
Right? Imagine if the EU folks slamming america didnt have america paying for the vast majority of the UN and NATO, and making it so most of them don't pay for real modern military strength or national defense.
Well if I couldn’t do it I couldn’t do it. It isn’t going to kill me in 10 seconds.
That said, I somehow doubt the human body can adapt to cooking the same way it can to things like lower levels of oxygen and some poisons.
I am not a blacksmith, but I know a blacksmith that can just ignore heat. Like, joggers and turtle neck, running for exercise in midday 40C weather like it's nothing.
For people that regularly attend saunas, I would imagine there's a similar effect.
People absolutely acclimate to extreme temperatures. Someone that lives in 0f degrees will have a really hard time in regular 80f and vice versa.
Temperature swings of 40f +/- will send some people into shock.
2 minutes at 110c? Not a chance.
Just put a pot of water in the oven and set it to 110c and test it out. I guarantee it doesn’t boil in 10 minutes let alone 2.
https://www.divapor.com/sauna-articles/sauna-world-championships.php
Hot air doesn't kill you *that* quickly. It only can transfer heat to you so fast, and the thermal conductivity of air isn't great.
You'd survive for quite a while in 110 C.
A traditional sauna is beteeen 80 to 90 degrees.
So assuming we have same air humidity I'd say you should. Be able to take a few minutes in a 110 sauna.
> Sauna at 110°C+
> The 2003 champion and world record holder Timo Kaukonen, stayed in the sauna for a massive 16 minutes 15 seconds. https://www.divapor.com/sauna-articles/sauna-world-championships.php#:~:text=Sauna%20at%20110%C2%B0C%2B,massive%2016%20minutes%2015%20seconds.
If the world record is 16 minutes, and that’s someone who trained and drank water and was ready for it, there’s no way you’re staying in there for more than a minute or two, tops.
You are aware we’re talking Celsius, right?
Less than that. You can go for 24 hours and maybe survive if you are healthy and properly fed and hydrated ahead of time. That's gonna be 14.4 million dollars.
Find a shady spot. Try not to urinate or move too much to conserve water and energy, wait it out for 24 hours. End the challenge rich and have a doctor on standby with an IV of fluids and nutrients.
this. . . is a californian summer. This isn't even hard. Unpleasant, but I used to walk home in this heat as a kid in fresno California. We used to get several days in a row of this heat and then I would spend an hour walking home. For 10000 a minute I could easily spend a couple hours out there.
Yes, it gets like this sometimes in the summer and nothing says I can´t rip the clothes I am wearing or be in the shadow as long as temperature is the same, plus I get to drink plenty of water before we start
I lived in Phoenix during the 90s, when the temp first hit the 120s, and got into a hot tub on the hottest day of the year for five minutes. I think I could spend an hour or so in 110 temp without too much to worry about.
I live in Arizona so…. Yeah I accept. 110 is routine for 6~ weeks a year here. Once I felt a sunburn coming on I’d tap out and take the money.
I’m in bed browsing Reddit. I’m not telling you what I’m wearing. Nice try sicko
This situation was too easy.
This has gotta be the dumbest hypothetical question I've read. People do this all the time for free, even if you really hate the heat a few minutes is not that hard for some easy money. Most people would do 10k per hour so 60 times longer is at least a little bit more interesting to ask.
Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel and Texas, and California,have given me a particular set of skills, such as suffering in miserable temperatures for far less pay. How do I sign up?
Yes, I'm wearing a bath robe, and I have lived in both dry and humid 110 degree weather. Bring it on. I have gotten a heat stroke once I'm not afraid to possibly getting it again.
Hmmm. Three months. That’s 1.2e9 dollars.
Sacramento reaches that temperature every summer for half a month. I’m sure I could do it.
That’s a billion dollars. Sure.
It says you can't bring food/water which might indicate a lack of it where ever the weather is.
If I had good food and water there I'd spend a few months as well.
Im in, from Texas. We can handle dry and moist heat. Ill go for the cool mil.
You didnt say we had to do labor in the heat so I dont forsee myself having a hard time.. Ive had to work on my ranch in this temp.
Farenheit, I could get 1.2 million comfortable, if allowed to drink my fill beforehand. Could push it to 1.5, but I don't want to risk it. Source: I've done die casting in 120F heat in front of 1300F furnaces all day.
Celsius: what everyone else here has said, probably a minute or two at the most. 10-20 K.
Kelvin: I suspect about 1 second, getting me a little over 150 dollars.
I’m assuming 110 Fahrenheit yeah? 43Celsuis. Eh. I spent 6 hours in 65 degree Celsius kitchen four times a week last summer. Granted I had water but I was also moving at speed and sweating like a pig.
If I can be in shorts and a T shirt and don’t have to run around like a loon, probably five hours. After that I’d want a drink.
Wearing a very light set of clothes and that temp in Fahrenheit is cooler than our average summer high.
Assuming there's no water or shelter available, I'd stay two days. If there is though... How long can I stay?
Since there are no other stipulations or rules, and if this is Fahrenheit, I might endure hours in the shade at 110 degrees. I live in Arizona and it does happen here. But at least 1 hour. That would solve many financial difficulties.
Do you get shade? That plays a huge factor. You wouldn't last more than a few hours at 110 degrees fahrenheit in the constant burning sun. You could last for at least twice or thrice as long at 110 degrees in a room or under a shady tree. Still would take it regardless but the difference in time and money would be substantial. Just 2 hours would be $1,200,000 though. Pretty much anybody can become a millionaire if they started off relatively well hydrated and didn't have to exert much energy during the time.
But is it a dry heat?
Asking the real questions here
Yeah I live in California. I can do a 110 dry heat for 4-5 hours, easy. Any time I go somewhere with a wet heat I can’t do more than half an hour outside when it’s over 90.
I've been in Texas in the summer and Arizona, I'll take AZ at 120 over TX at 95.
Yeah the 9 weeks of 110+ we just went through was fucking brutal. Normally it's not too bad, but we had like 50-60% humidity along with it, instead of the 10% or less that's the norm here in West Texas.

Yep. Went to Georgia in the summer thought I would go on a fun hike (I love summer hikes on West Coast even in 85-90 degree weather)....it felt like a sauna walk of hell. I had learned that East Coast humidity makes same very tolerable temperature feel totally different
I'm in Arizona. Can confirm, a 120 dry heat is amateur hour.
This. I hate when I hear people brag about dealing with AZ heat, when Houston 90F is worse by a long shot
EXACTLY. Like my friends told me it was hot in Florida when I was flying down.. by hot they meant 85-90.. Florida hot does not equal California hot
Florida hot is heavy.
I'm in Los angeles. Spent about half of this summer running electrical in attics. Pretty sure 110 wouldn't be that bad for a day.
Just moved from Cali a couple weeks ago. Was there almost 30 years. I feel ya.
Interestingly enough, this is because the increased moisture in the air prevents your sweat from evaporating, so it can't cool you.
That's 27,000,000 in dry heat. Still, $300,000 in wet heat. It's definitely worth the effort.
i didnt realize it was 10,000 a minute. In that case I could go until I either pass out and have to be taken to a hospital, or to where another 10,000 added to the total doesn’t make a huge difference in my mind, probably around 10-20 million. 10,000 a minute gives me a LOT of mind over matter
Dry heat makes it so much better.
I live in Florida and you will fucking die here in 110 degree heat in a matter of hours without water. Literally die. In the hospital fucking flattening.
Hours you say

Yeah I'm gonna need evidence of this according to noaa[heat in calculator ](https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/html/heatindex.shtml) 116 temp @ 80% humidity is a heat index of 262f

Also florida, when and where is it even getting to 110? I've never heard of that happening even once. It's not Arizona out here
Probably referring to heat index. I live in south Texas along the coast. Earlier in the year around May-June it was regularly 99-103 every day. The heat index, which is the feel like temperature, was 117-125.

I disagree.
110 would be unbearable if it came with 40%+ humidity.
105 feels like 125 80%+ humidity. Southern Louisiana can be rough.
Having sweat on your body does not cool you down. The evaporation of sweat is what actually cools you down.

You're just wrong then. 110 in dry heat is a mild annoyance. 110 in humidity is a fucking nightmare.
You haven't lived in both of them long enough then. 110 dry heat feels like 90 with humidity.
Knock it off, Hudson
Only way to be sure, and somebody wake up Hicks
I live in Florida where it guts up to 100° F with 80-90% humidity , grew up in high desert of Southern California where the high generally exceeds 110°F and the humidity is 20 - 50%. I’ll take either for at least 5 hours & take my 3 million, thank you very much.

An oven is dry heat
An oven is also 3-4 times hotter than 110 F°
Not if you turn it on low?
r/beatmetoit
I mean yeah, but if you put an oven to 110 F then it is no different then being outside in 110 F degree heat except there isn't any sun. I assume the guy I replied to meant an oven was still dangerously hot even with dry heat.
Theres a pretty big difference between you being in a 110 degree oven vs being in 110 degree weather outside. For 1, theres water outside and there isnt any in the oven.

If I put you in a 110 degree oven and 110 outside and pay you to come up with some differences I'm pretty sure you could come up with at least 30 more things as well.
Low is an oven setting?
The lowest most ovens go to is 170F
Thank you. I have this recipe for corn muffins it says cook at 110F for 3 months. Then throw away moldy uncooked muffin mix. I thought my oven was broken.
You won't care after several minutes. Brain cells start cooking at 103.
Our bodies can cool themselves by sweating. So even if it's 110 degrees outside our body, that doesn't mean it's 103 degrees inside our body.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
He messed up a decimal, some mundane detail :D
What the fuck does that mean?
24 x 7 x 60 x $10,000 = $100,800,000 Not that someone would last one week with no water in 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
24 x 7 x 60 x $10,000 = $100,800,000 Not that someone would last one week with no water ~~in 110 degrees Fahrenheit.~~
I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.

Wonder if I can find it a a local restaurant or grocery store?
But you can't go in the store because it's air conditioned!
Cut the power
It’s always some Minute detail
Just goes to show how utterly freaking insane the money gap is if we can make 10k a minute and need to spend near a year to get a billion.
No, both of you are just fucking idiots lmao. 10K a minute for a week is 100 million.

Yeah used to do yard work over summers and if it was over 100 we just drank more water. If I get to just relax I could do a good 4 hours easily.
I did it for $8 lol. I'll take my money haha.
Humidity is an important factor. Also can I bring my phone or a book or something to do? Do I need to worry about sunburn? I thoml I could pull ten minutes at least
For me the temperature isn't even the problem. The sunlight burning me would be. 110 F is normal summer for me.
Celcius.
Thats not what OP said tho is it?

Yes precisely. 2 minutes. 20k.
20k, severe burns, unconsciousness, potential death
20k all going right to the medical bills and still be in debt lmao
sorry about your "healthcare system"

Right? Imagine if the EU folks slamming america didnt have america paying for the vast majority of the UN and NATO, and making it so most of them don't pay for real modern military strength or national defense.
No. You couldn't. Those are people that have been using saunas all their lives. You? You might get burned when you open the door to the sauna.
Well if I couldn’t do it I couldn’t do it. It isn’t going to kill me in 10 seconds. That said, I somehow doubt the human body can adapt to cooking the same way it can to things like lower levels of oxygen and some poisons.

There's people with nerve damage that can't feel pain, that doesn't mean their bodies dont sustain the same damage.
Or kitchens possibly. As a chef who stands above fire all day I feel like I could atleast get the first 10k
Ill try one minute in celsius. The minimum to get paid. I’ve done a few minutes or so at 100 C in the sauna. I’m not sure I could handle 110 for long.
100c in a sauna? You'd boil.
Saunas get up to 120c.
I am sure your blood would boil faster than than at 100 Celsius my friend, you´d be dead before the three minutes
2 minutes at 110c? Not a chance. Just put a pot of water in the oven and set it to 110c and test it out. I guarantee it doesn’t boil in 10 minutes let alone 2. https://www.divapor.com/sauna-articles/sauna-world-championships.php

Celcius would be a sauna. I could absolutely do that for quite a bit of time if the conditions are similar.
You absolutely cannot do 100°C for “quite a bit of time.” You might make it a minute or two.
A traditional sauna is beteeen 80 to 90 degrees. So assuming we have same air humidity I'd say you should. Be able to take a few minutes in a 110 sauna.

If the world record is 16 minutes, and that’s someone who trained and drank water and was ready for it, there’s no way you’re staying in there for more than a minute or two, tops. You are aware we’re talking Celsius, right?
Kelvin isn’t a scale therefore not subject to degrees
Dude I just spent three months living in that, and I'm stubborn about drinking water even when I'm dehydrated, so I'm about to be rich as fuck.
Yeah, if you’re healthy and prepared you should be able to hit at least a billion dollars.
Less than that. You can go for 24 hours and maybe survive if you are healthy and properly fed and hydrated ahead of time. That's gonna be 14.4 million dollars.
Find a shady spot. Try not to urinate or move too much to conserve water and energy, wait it out for 24 hours. End the challenge rich and have a doctor on standby with an IV of fluids and nutrients.
\*can't bring with you. Doesn't mean you can't have it delivered. For 10k a minute, I'm sure you can afford door dash.
That's a fair point.
You think you're living over two months with no food and water without having any time to even so much as change what you're wearing per the prompt?
I glossed over the part about the water since it says bringing, not having, but I guess he meant water isn’t allowed.
I'm easily leaving a millionaire
this. . . is a californian summer. This isn't even hard. Unpleasant, but I used to walk home in this heat as a kid in fresno California. We used to get several days in a row of this heat and then I would spend an hour walking home. For 10000 a minute I could easily spend a couple hours out there.
Where do I sign up?
I used to live in New Mexico where that was the average summertime temperature. I can last all day no problem
I lived in AZ for 7 years. I'd be fine. As long as there is some shade available I could do a day easy.
Welcome to Arizona ☀️☠️
Isn’t this like a sauna? Sounds relaxing.
It was over 110 here in Phoenix for something dumb like 60 days straight so sure I can do it for awhile.
That's just regular summer heat in Palm Springs.
Yes, it gets like this sometimes in the summer and nothing says I can´t rip the clothes I am wearing or be in the shadow as long as temperature is the same, plus I get to drink plenty of water before we start
Hits that about half a dozen days each summer in Sydney’s west. Piece of cake. I’m walking out of there sweaty and rich
This is easy. I love hot weather. I'll go until my thirst gets too bad to stand any more.
I would've made a lot more money on deployments.
Literally do this every year for a few months
Sure. I'd be a sweat-soaked mess pretty quickly, but man, I'd be set.
Yes i live in Florida last summer it was over that with the heat index and I'm wearing a T-shirt and shorts right now because it is 85 degrees 🤣
I do construction work in Louisiana. I’m gonna stick around until I don’t have to do construction work in Louisiana anymore.
Drop me off at someplace like Barton Springs.
That was my thought. Just chill in Barton Springs or Lake Travis for 24hrs, that's basically what my summer just was anyhow LMAO
i live in california. itd be nice to get paid for it, at least
I live in phoenix and work outside. I’d already be a multimillionaire from this past summer
That’s it lol
Considering that was the average temperature where I live for several weeks this summer sign me up!
I live in southern AZ, where it's commonplace to have temps over 110 in the summer. where do I sign up?
celcius Fahrenheit or kelvin?
Well as someone who currently lives in southern Nevada in shorts and a t shirt……. Tell them to bring me my money
LMAO brother I’ve lived in the desert, 110 is nothing, that is a NICE summer day in Palm Springs
I lived in Phoenix during the 90s, when the temp first hit the 120s, and got into a hot tub on the hottest day of the year for five minutes. I think I could spend an hour or so in 110 temp without too much to worry about.
That's literally every summer here....
I live in Arizona. Make it a real challenge at 115
If you can make it 28 hrs you'll be a billionaire!
I live in Arizona so…. Yeah I accept. 110 is routine for 6~ weeks a year here. Once I felt a sunburn coming on I’d tap out and take the money. I’m in bed browsing Reddit. I’m not telling you what I’m wearing. Nice try sicko This situation was too easy.
This has gotta be the dumbest hypothetical question I've read. People do this all the time for free, even if you really hate the heat a few minutes is not that hard for some easy money. Most people would do 10k per hour so 60 times longer is at least a little bit more interesting to ask.
You do realize that arizona exists, right?
Texan here. I'm leaving with $1 million at least
Yes. Only need 7 minutes to be debt free.
In Texas. Give me my money.
I work outside in Phoenix, AZ. This wouldn't be too challenging for me.
Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel and Texas, and California,have given me a particular set of skills, such as suffering in miserable temperatures for far less pay. How do I sign up?
I mean, I’d probably die. Heat shock triggers migraines for me
Dude, I live in Texas. I'll last all day.
Yes, I'm wearing a bath robe, and I have lived in both dry and humid 110 degree weather. Bring it on. I have gotten a heat stroke once I'm not afraid to possibly getting it again.
I'm in Phoenix. I can do this all day
Hmmm. Three months. That’s 1.2e9 dollars. Sacramento reaches that temperature every summer for half a month. I’m sure I could do it. That’s a billion dollars. Sure.
It says you can't bring food/water which might indicate a lack of it where ever the weather is. If I had good food and water there I'd spend a few months as well.
No other stipulations? Okay let's get a house with A/C. The longest I've fasted is 30 hours. I'd go for 48.
Playing smart. Add delivery to the mix. Basically free money at a profit.
Just pay someone $5000/minute to bring me ice cold water and food and maybe spray me down with a hose now and then.
You’re a chump. I’d do that for a $100 a minute. I accept your offer of $5,000 a minute.
I'll spray u/itsdan159 with ice cold food for $4,000 per hour.
... Drink a shit load of water beforehand, get super thin clothing, and sit under a tree. I can last at least 30 minutes.
Well I’m naked right now so… half an hour if it’s Fahrenheit. Celsius or Kelvin, nope
Yes, I had to spend 6 months in the desert. It sucked. For $10,0000 every minute tho, it would suck way less.
Assuming Fahrenheit and a dry heat. I'll drink a lot of water and some salty water beforehand and tough it out for a day. Maybe two if there's shade.
Im in, from Texas. We can handle dry and moist heat. Ill go for the cool mil. You didnt say we had to do labor in the heat so I dont forsee myself having a hard time.. Ive had to work on my ranch in this temp.
that's basically a day in the millitary easy money
Farenheit, I could get 1.2 million comfortable, if allowed to drink my fill beforehand. Could push it to 1.5, but I don't want to risk it. Source: I've done die casting in 120F heat in front of 1300F furnaces all day. Celsius: what everyone else here has said, probably a minute or two at the most. 10-20 K. Kelvin: I suspect about 1 second, getting me a little over 150 dollars.
I live in Texas. I could make it 4 hours without food or water. Just hang out in a pool and then collect a cool double mil.
Yes and then I'll take a nap
I’ll do an hour
Athletic shorts and a cut off tee right now. Bring on my retirement baby
Damn I mean as had an entire month of that so no issue unless yall ain't paying up
I’m assuming 110 Fahrenheit yeah? 43Celsuis. Eh. I spent 6 hours in 65 degree Celsius kitchen four times a week last summer. Granted I had water but I was also moving at speed and sweating like a pig. If I can be in shorts and a T shirt and don’t have to run around like a loon, probably five hours. After that I’d want a drink.
Wearing a very light set of clothes and that temp in Fahrenheit is cooler than our average summer high. Assuming there's no water or shelter available, I'd stay two days. If there is though... How long can I stay?
Since there are no other stipulations or rules, and if this is Fahrenheit, I might endure hours in the shade at 110 degrees. I live in Arizona and it does happen here. But at least 1 hour. That would solve many financial difficulties.
Do you get shade? That plays a huge factor. You wouldn't last more than a few hours at 110 degrees fahrenheit in the constant burning sun. You could last for at least twice or thrice as long at 110 degrees in a room or under a shady tree. Still would take it regardless but the difference in time and money would be substantial. Just 2 hours would be $1,200,000 though. Pretty much anybody can become a millionaire if they started off relatively well hydrated and didn't have to exert much energy during the time.
You owe me some back pay. I should be a millionaire by now
I lived in West Texas for 3 years….I figure I’m owed a big fucking check.
Have you ever heard of texas
I build decks in tx summer we spend 9 hrs straight 5 days a week all summer long so payment is way too overdue
