My tired brain read "4 or 5 humans" and I thought that can't be right
- 4 or 5 swarms of humans.
I guess the 1 of the 5 people is on the south half of the globe in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia?
- UK. It's been absolute fucking shite this summer. Rain, rain and more fucking rain.
  Last year was scorching hot to the point of being unbearable. Not this year. It's fucking pissing it down right now in fact.
  
  Next weeks going to be nicer apparently
- Or Norway. We've had the coldest and wettest July that I can remember
  
  Same here in Finland. We don't have high temperatures, but the humidity is really high.
  
  Germany too, barely went higher than 25 and rained for days at times, something I haven’t experienced here in the southwest for half a decade or so at least. Definitely not this long at this time of year
- I am in winter and we have been having like 30 35 for 4 or 5 dias straight
- Or coastal California.
- From the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (for July 2023):
  Australia's national area-average mean temperature was 1.19 °C above the 1961-1990 average, the ninth-highest on record (since 1910) for July.
  The warmest July on record for Tasmania.
  Area-average mean maximum temperature for July was 1.23 °C above average nationally. The national mean minimum temperature was 1.15 °C above average.
I thought there were more people on Earth than that. Learn something new everyday huh
- I read it as "4 or 5" and was like "oh, that's not too bad, there's billions of us afterall"
... so far
