What If You Lived in the Hottest Place on Earth?

Do you want to feel like you're at the internal temperature of a steak? Or maybe fry an egg with no stove? Welcome to Death Valley, and the ""death"" part is accurate. This national park stretching through California and Nevada is so hot you can barely breathe.

I really do enjoy each of these video! They really help pass the time and help me realize what's real and what's possible, and what's not.

[khalilahd.]

I don’t think I’d survive this. I used to live in Arizona and that heat alone was overwhelming 😭 can’t imagine trying this

[sensrplayz]

Lmao in my city in India its currently 45° and I'm definitely normal

I live in Dubai and I've experienced temperatures of 48 to 52'c many times. And a 54'c when my car was parked under sunlight. Also some of the hottest consistent temperatures in the world are recorded in the Middle East region like in Kuwait, Iraq, KSA, and Iran.

I live in Uzbekistan where the average summer temperature is about 40-42 C°. But in some north- eastern provinces here the temperature usually goes up to 35-38C°.

I flew to Arizona one time and the pilot said, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Arizona. It’s a beautiful clear day. The temperature is 115 degrees”…when I tell you my jaw hit the floor

[nickvandeventer]

Please, PLEASE state degrees in Fahrenheit as well as Celsius. It’s so hard to understand exactly how hot or cold everything is in your videos. Other than that you make amazing videos, keep it up!

I live in Pakistan and temperatures here currently are 44 c and 47 c And we are fasting for one month from dawn to sunset and we can't even drink water but we are surviving normally Alhumdullilah 😇😊

[MrLeon-cppz]

50°-54° is also normal in Mexicali/Calexico!

[monikavarro]

I live in South Australia. You could also fry an egg outside here in the summer. I'm no stranger to hot weather.

For living in desert you need :
Leather jacket ✔
Sawed off shotgun ✔
Interceptor v8 ✔

[blackheart]

Damn 48° degrees is cold... its only 16° degrees above freezing.

[shaunosmorrison]

Hottest temps I've experienced is just under 49°C (very low humidity) and it felt just like a regular warm Summer day

What if humans found a way to grow enormous sized food? This is a reference to the 1960s movie "Mysterious Island" where our heros battle a giant crab, a giant chicken, and giant bees (making honey). Would it end world hunger?

I live in Sacramento California, less than a days drive from Death Valley. It gets hot enough here in the summer and I have no desire to go to Death Valley during the summer. Plenty of Europeans seem to like to visit there in the summer, probably just to feel what it is like to be in weather that hot.

[arunsubramanian]

We indians now literally thing....
Come to India....feel the hot with humidity....and experience the real summer !... 😂😂

[TSierra]

Love what if videos. Never fail to entertain🔥

[VladimirMiyazaki]

I wonder if all hot desert area is covered with solar panels & windmills, will it generate enough power to provide electricity to earth and how it will affect the climate???

[Wonderbrew_Animations]

Now what if you lived in the coldest place on earth

[phantommusicandgames]
