If Europe has started experiencing over 40°C heatwaves frequently, then this planet really is fucked

How did you even survive? Retreated into the basement with a fan, hoping the electrical grid wouldn't fail?
I was younger. Younger people are more tolerant of the heat than older people.
There have still been a number of dead young people from the heat in Europe lately (like 25 year olds), so they're not immortal. Especially not the geniuses that think it's a great idea to go running in a heat wave.
I've noticed a weird trend where people get so mad at others warning them against heat waves that they essentially go insane yabbing about how humans can easily handle it, we're all doomers and then they go out of their way to prove it. Alot of them in hospitals.
Indeed, at the 52° day I was, what, 12? I seemed to endure it well.
My relatives also did. I think it's because we tend to have big temperatures here.
52 would kill most Americans, morbid obesity and high heat would kill.
