If you are ever feeling cold, just stand in a corner.  But beware -- this is lethal pretty much everywhere except in the US.

Corners are 90 degrees.

I don't get that. 90 degrees Celsius are acceptable and measuring in Celsius is the usual in Europe, too. Am i missing something here?

Edit: Used bold instead of spoiler by accident...

194°F is acceptable? For what purposes?

Acceptable for any purpose that requires not being exposed to a lethal temperature. 90 degrees Celsius are not lethal. 90 degrees fahrenheit are not lethal, either.

90ºC is very much lethal, if you spend enough time in such conditions. You dehydrate quickly, and you can quickly lose consciousness.

Are you sure?  90 C sounds lethal to me.  This source says that "most humans will suffer hyperthermia after 10 minutes in extremely humid, 140-degree-Fahrenheit (60-degrees-Celsius) heat."

also, water boils at about 100°C (at number varies. So, 90°C is what you feel when you put your hand in steaming water. I expect it would be super painful, and lethal after a couple of minutes.

Well, water transfers heat differently than air does, so touching 90C water and 90C air isn't the same. The best comparison would be a sauna.  From Wikipedia:

Air temperatures averaged around 70–80 degrees Celsius (160–180 degrees Fahrenheit) but sometimes exceeded 90 °C (194 °F) in a traditional Finnish sauna.

[eHalcyon]

Well, fair enough then.

[sudgy]

A friend of mine who went to a Finnish sauna (yes I just so happen to have a friend who is completely valid in this discussion) said it's bearable if you dress really lightly and drink lots of water.  You might not be prepared if you were just sitting there in the cold (with probably a lot of clothes on).

Can't argue with Wikipedia.

Just as I was saying! Why doesn't anyone ever read my posts?

[Eevee]

Any temperature is lethal, if you spend enough time in those conditions. Valar morghulis.

90c is about as bad as -5c. Yes, both are technically dangerous but also just really not.

edit: I'm a survivor of 90c. Also a survivor of 110c, maybe more.

I'm tempted to make a Pokemon joke here.

Conversely, any temperature is survivable, if you spend little enough time in those conditions. Not today.

-5ºC seems much better than 90ºC, as evidenced by the fact that people live in Greenland, but nobody lives right on top of a geothermal source. Even the Sahara desert is not that hot (50ºC during the day).

[silverspawn]

A squirrel once said to a unicorn, "hey, there are no unicorns, you shouldn't exist," and the unicorn replied "and you shouldn't be able to talk," and then the squirrel disappeared in a puff of smoke. What's missing? the joke. thehehe. dim dim pheeeewww...

It's called extrapolation!

That's one word for it. Distraction is another.

Where you can or can't spend your life is irellevant, as we are talking about an entirely different scenario. Minute-long exposure to 90°C (as you would have if you walked in a corner to get warmed up) are obviously non-lethal, as some people have allready pointed out. What you are doing is trying to make it seem as if we were talking about a scenario where your point was actually valid - sorry, but we are not.

[Awaclus]

I think we need a "A joke thread [Serious]" thread for this discussion.

[Gveoniz]

90c is about 5156.620156177°, that is not survivable.

You are very much right! I think we shouldn't fight with each other but with eHalcyon, since clearly the contention is caused by a lack of information in his original post. Do we assume that "standing in a corner" implies an intermediary state, or a final state? You assume the first, I assume the later, hence the argument.

eHalcyon, you should feel bad for posting incomplete jokes. Whether they are funny or not should not be an excuse to forget your scientific rigour.

But don't you see? The 90C corner has proven itself lethal by dint of the pointless arguments it has caused! Everything is meaningless. The joke is life itself.

[WalrusMcFishSr]

I would also like to add that the corner is extremely overeducated...90 degrees is quite excessive.
