That is really fucked up…

Oh look, a pretty new shiny tech toy….

All I have to do is ignore where it’s made and who is being harmed by it’s construction.

Thank you! I hate that I don’t know what 43° C means. I know it’s not boiling or freezing. But that’s all…

Room temperature is 20-25C = 68-77F Normal human body temp (98.6F) is 37C.

So 20s are comfortable to warm 30s are hot to hotter and 40+ is extreme heat.

30F = 0C

50F = 10C

70F = 20C

85F = 30C

100F = 40C

That’s rough but close enough to get a feel what range they’re talking about.
