The bri’ish complainin about like 25c or something while im rotting in 40 and the spanish are probably already dead from the 46 or whatever they have.
JFC that’s too hot. I’d been thinking maybe Spain would be a nice place to move to and a bit more like where I grew up climate wise… that’s way too much like Florida. Is that at least a dry heat or is it outdoor sauna?
Depending where you go. If you go to the coast there’s a lot of humidity. On the center the climate is very dry and the nights are not so hot. Typical day in interior spain temperature can go from 10C to 35C easily.
Still pretty hotter than the rest of europe overall.
Climate wise the worst is that we are very vulnerable to climate change. Our highest temperatures are already pretty high so higher temperatures in summer will be deathly. Also some parts of Spain are vulnerable to drastic climate events, recently two hundred people die in a heavy flood in Valencia.
Yeah its a sad thing when your country had weather you liked and then climate change ruined it. While i also like the weather in some parts of spain, my favourite thing is very continental weather. Hungary used to be that with -15 in winters and +30-35 in summers and now its wet 0c winters and a bit hotter summers(which dont bother me that much tbf). Its interesting that it didnt just shift up the temperature by x degrees, instead it nuked winter and made summer only a bit hotter.
Living in Spain, can confirm. It’s being awful.
You cannot spell Spain without Pain.
Sir, this is a joke about how it would be awful if the sun were always up.
But also, the UK just had its second warmest June ever (England’s warmest ever) and was over 30C in many places. During these heatwaves, the temperature rises rapidly, making it uncomfortable because people are not used to the warmer temperatures. After 7 days of warm temperatures, people get used to it.
I know but making fun of the uk, especially england is always justified and funi
As a brit (specifically english) i agree
I lived in ireland for 5 years so i think i can commit terrorism against brits right?
Feel free to take out our leadership or lack thereof.
This is a joke, that probably would make things worse… Somehow
If youre already at rock bottom, any change is good change.
40 cents rot? Prices in the US are pretty steep, nowadays, it seems.
Damn, did it hit 20c?
The Britain’s empire?
Poorly timed as the sub finally set on the British empire for the first time in over a century just a few months ago
When?
A. Few. Months. Ago.
I don’t get it
It’s an old saying. The Empire had colonies all over the world so at any point in time it was day for at least one colony. Therefore the sun never set on The Empire as a whole.
The joke is making fun of that old saying, pretending it means there is no night for the British isles and all the sun is causing the temperature of the isles to increase.
I hope that’s enough explanation to remove any humor from the joke.
Seeing as you seem knowledgeable what’s up with the ‘ring the bells’ bit?
An explained joke might lose its funny in the moment
But you also ensure future jokes riffing on similar ideas will land better. ;)
Na, you’re good. The joke didnt have humour to begin with enough to ruin
Although the saying ends ‘…on the British empire’, not the weird wording in the poster that no one would ever use.
I’d use it all the ways.
Is that W before Britain? What does it mean?
The logo is for a toy brand, Britains, formerly W. Britains in the era of this advert.
Thanks! Never been to Britain, so no chance of knowing this nuance…
No no change the Yorkshire one to fookin 'ell please
The sun never sets? Is that why y’all got them olde timey kaniggets?
