>98 degrees and 100% humidity 98 °F wet-bulb temperature (which is equal to the air temperature at 100% relative humidity) will literally kill you. That's higher than anything listed on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature#Highest_recorded_wet-bulb_temperatures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature#Highest_r...

I'm not trying to be a Dick, but it's called hyperbole. Not everything is meant to be exactly literal. Based on the tone of the original post, I think they are being a little silly.

    Sorry, I forgot we’re supposed to be 100% wet-bulb literal and never silly on HN. :(

      No need to apologize to me, I am just happy there are others practicing sarcasm around here without putting that stupid “/s” bullshit on their posts.
