The AC is broken at work and it's 100% humidity inside
We're expected to continue working when it's 90 F and 100% humidity indoors. Dude our paper is so soggy I punch holes in it when I try to write. I am straight up not having a good time.

girl you gonna die go home
Wet bulb temperature? What's that?

Nice, hope the snacks suit you well

You are in a situation where the brain will start to think less clearly. You literally can't work in that for more than half an hour at a time, even someone who is heat-tolerant will be much slower and make all kinds of mistakes.
Go home.
Go home.
We're at the point they don't even care when the customers that can sue them get fucking KTFO.
When I was in undergrad I had a professor constantly grimly joke that OSHA was just a recommendation, that if they could they'd make workers roast inside the heat of the core of the sun.
