How long would anyone even live at 79 degrees though?
if they're american: until they're 70, if they're not american: no
Hey they could also be Liberian
Like that works in a Liberi?
I don't get yer joke.
70c is 158f, steak is well done at that temp.
I'm not a food scientist, but I thought 165 was safe temps for meat.
165 for birds and wild game, 145 for beef and pork.
Assuming °F, you can survive that indefinitely as long as you wear light clothing, you're not in direct sunlight, you don't have a medical condition that affects things, and it's not too humid.
While doing normal work or while at rest? Real big difference there.
While doing anything.. 70F is pretty much perfect temp for most people. You’ll cool down fairly quickly after any heavy activity and will be safe during said activity unless you’re in direct sun, not drinking, and not taking breaks, but all that is true in nearly any temp.
70F is roughly 20C
Cool, but that's 70 and not 79. Sure it's only a few degrees swing but that still matters. We're also looking at water shortages in a good number of places so counting on that being a ready supply is not necessarily true.
65 is a real nice temperature to survive at too though a little on the cooler side but it's not what we were talking about.
79 is still pretty nice. Depending of the humidity, you might not even need AC, just fans
Cool, that's still not answering the question. What level of work can a body do under standard conditions at 79 F, without overheating? That changes with humidity so at break points of 40, 60, and 80% how does that affect the body? What you think feels nice is not what I was asking.
Just go outside and look at people working outdoors or exercising. 79 isn't very hot. Shocking fact: A/C was invented in the 20th century. Humans and summers were invented way, way before that. Do you think farmers just spontaneously combusted every summer before the advent of A/C? I know many farmers that don't have A/C to this day, and they work sun up to sun down all summer long with no problems.
79 degrees would barely be considered hot in large swaths of the world. You can live and work in relative comfort at 79 degrees. Think of it this way: people run 135 mile ultramarathons in Death Valley where temperatures get up to 130 degrees.
Not everyone sits inside an air conditioned cube all day.
Surprisingly, I do go outside. In 79 degrees. Where I sweat like crazy and hit dehydration fairly quickly. Which is why I was asking for an actual answer instead of this shit. If you don't want to answer the question, fine but you don't need to be a dick about it.
So again, not an answer to the question I was asking. Kindly fuck off.
I did answer your question. Look around yourself at all the people that work outside for a living in temperatures much hotter than 79 degrees. Or think about all of human history before the advent of the air conditioner. Or the large segments of the global population that live in tropical climates without AC.
The fact that you become dehydrated "quickly" in 79 degree weather honestly might be a medical condition. Were I you, I would consult your doctor. Unless you're fairly obese, the fact you're saying you sweat so much you become dehydrated in mildly warm weather is concerning.
I asked what level of work could be done and you said look around at the people who are working in that or hotter weather. Ok, so how many hours of manual labor can be done in 79 degree weather before the body needs rest? In sun vs shade? At 40/60/80% humidity? None of what you said answers any of that beyond what could have been a "Google it yourself".
You spent multiple lines writing something I didn't ask for to be an ass. If you don't know or don't feel like answering, don't answer.
Oh, honey.
