in -10°F no less
What’s that in °Civilized?
-23 fucking brass monkeys mate
It’s really an impressive strike.
Google says it’s -23C. WTF are they rooting at the north pole or something
Nah that’s just a cold day in middle of winter up north. Fucking brutal if it’s windy though, or if you haven’t grown up getting used to it

Holy hell, we haven’t had that kind of cold in Denmark for a long time. But I still remember the special feeling of your nose hair freezing up.
The weirdest part is that Minneapolis is further south than Milano
That’s all thanks to the gulf stream
I was at a protest last winter in Chicago. I believe it was 16 degrees. It was insane. My buddy and I bundled up. Layers. He brought heat packs. We prepared.
It was still brutal. We found walking helped but damn. I think we only lasted just shy of 2 hours. We tried but even my thick thighs (covered by my coat) were starting to feel pain from the cold within the first hour.
I say this because that’s still 25 degrees warmer than it was for these people
Damn that’s some hardcore protesting in Minnesota.
There were loads of people giving hand warmer out for free. And saw one guy had a big cooler jug like at football games full of hot cider he was passing out
Who knew tailgating would turn out to be praxis?
Community building is a huge part of praxis
Isn’t 16 F just - 8 C?
Thereabouts. Chicago is always windy though. It’s absolutely no joke being outside like that.
Yeah I mean. I think that sounds right. I do remember the news saying something like 16F but feels like -10F. Or something. The wind chill factor
Its legit ice wind up there in the winter. And this was downtown, right off the lake.
I do think it’s easier to stay warm if you are moving though but this time they just had like speeches and people standing and I couldn’t handle how cold my legs got.
I guess that’s a tip for cold protesting organizers.
Keep the people moving. They need it for warmth.I mean it’s cold weather but I assumed it would’ve been more if it was described as brutal and whatnot
They’re remembering their experience in - 10 C, which was already brutal to them, and imagining how terrible it must have been for the folks in Minneapolis in - 23C.
Yeah. I’m like. Wow. Those people are some bad ass MFers.
I’m the kind of person who thinks lake michigan water in the early summer is the perfect temperature (60F/17C) for swimming when all my friends are blue lipped and shivering.
I honestly always say Im more tolerant of the cold than most.
But apparently I ain’t got nothing on Minnesota peps.
-23°C for civilized people
249.8167°K for sexy people
THERE’S NO DEGREES IN KELVIN!
Have you tried yelling about it?
533.070 ⁰R for hipsters.
Where’d all those digits come from?
I guarantee the temperature variations in that plaza alone were orders of magnitude larger than one part in ten thousand of one kelvin.
That’s -10F for morally and intellectually superior people.
Ooooft sorry hun
For what, son?
Then go there. Leave your superiors alone.
Its what Trump wished his rallies looked like
Godamn
Or
OH geez* for you beautiful Midwest bastards
That is a sight to behold.
must be pretty warm in the crowd with those good souls
Where was ICE during all this? Obviously not near a crowd large enough they couldn’t intimidate.
They were brutalizing the protesters at the Whipple federal building and the airport where they arrested 100 clergy that were blocking the entrance and singing hymns.
They just murdered another ICE watcher, I am seeing videos of it happen out of Minnesota friends who are watchers, but it’s not on the news yet or even here.
wasn’t sure whether to believe you (your name is banme) but I think I just got an article about it(?)
Yes it is. I’ve heard about it from Canada through socials
People who live in cold places are used to going out in the cold. Like, the city doesn’t shut down or anything. Yeah it’s cold, but they have this thing called a jacket, and if you live in winterland, you probably own at least one decent one. And add layers, Jerry. Layers!
Yeah but we aren’t used to be out all day. Most people just commute to work and back.
