As a kid, my family visited some other family in Colorado Springs, and one night when we didn’t have anything to do, they took us to a gymnastics gym that had free play hours.
I ran around for a few minutes before I started to get really winded. The staff picked up on it, and was like, "where are you from?” When I said Arkansas, they were all like “Oh, yeah, there isn’t enough air up here for you. Go sit down for a bit.”
There ISN’T ENOUGH AIR UP THERE. SHIT IS HARDCORE.
I lived out in the Rockies. There was one Easter when we had a cold snap that hit -40.
Fun fact here, the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales intersect at -40.
Also, if you throw a mug of lukewarm water outside, it will be snow before it hits the ground.
Yeah, exactly! This is my point! Shit gets real up there!
Not “up” as in “north.” “Up” as in away from the earth… z-axis… CLOSER TO SPACE THAN NORMALLY SURVIVABLE
