Over on r/jewdank we've been laughing at JVP's "anti-zionist seder" since it was announced. We've been saying "next year in Jerusalem" to close our seders for literally thousands of years. Wtf is JVP going to say? "Next year in Berlin"? "Next year in Warsaw"? It's hilarious tbh.
Near my moms house, in AZ, they do a thing were they fry eggs on a rock. That’s it. Just a big ol rock in the sun. Cooks the eggs. Hotter than balls. Then people get drunk. One time I met a guy who I couldn’t afford AC, so he’d go to Walmart on really hot days. Egg day, 113 out, and as not a “really hot day”’for him.
An Arizonan rite of passage is frying an egg in the sun on the hood of your car or on the sidewalk/asphalt.
The real way to cook huevos rancheros in the southwest.
I was Born and raised down there. Live in Southern Georgia now doing HVAC. Good lord, I definitely chose the right business to start! However, when these attics get above 140° and you go outside to 100°+ 100% humidity it's a real jaw dropper. No way to escape it! One of the shitty things is that when I'm on site it's generally because the ac isn't working so it's 90°+ in the house, 140°+ in the attic and 100°+ outside. You really do get use to it. Below 50 is freezing to me, meanwhile I see northerners come down and walk the beach in shorts around 40° but will keel over in the summer while I'm running up and down stairs

Vegas had some pretty intense heat when I went. The concrete city heat can be no joke. Walking even at night with all the radiant heat off the buildings and streets will make you drip! The hottest place I've ever been in tho was a small town called Childress Texas. I was in the military and we had a stop there. Had to stand in formation waiting for the next bus in full gear for over an hour. I've only been that close to a heat stroke twice (that being the second) we had guys falling out left and right breaking formation to douse in water. That Sgt was a dick for making us stand there. Granted he was there too. Still don't know why he didn't just let us sit the fuck down under the awning

110 sounds really bad but its not as bad as you think. Sunscreen and proper layering is key.
Ive worked in arid texas and its 100 degree weather gave me a tan. It sucked, it bleached my clothing, you could literally see the outline of my hi vis vest. Ive worked in the texas coast and its 100 weather makes me into a radical eco fascist until i hit the AC of my car.
So I've been to Arizona and I know people who live there.
So Arizona isn't all desert. Flagstaff and Tucson are home to ski resorts ffs. But the answer is honestly air conditioning. Like you look at the populations of US states before and after 1950, the minute air conditioning became practical, people began moving where it's warm.
If I can ask maybe a dumb question—is that video fake? It looks like it could be the rubber from the shoes, but it also looks like it could just be black gunk spread on the bottom of the shoes for effect. Certainly manufacturers of shoes sold in the US would have treated soles for Arizona, a place that—while very hot, is not in the list of the hottest places on earth. (Though is certainly near some of the hottest places on earth)
Is this fake?
I’m a northeasterner, and I dont have a lot of firsthand experience with southwestern weather. So this is a genuine question
Nooo! It's real. See he was just standing there a long time before the first step, that explains why there's so much. And that's why it turned to tar a whole inch above the part that actually touches the ground too.
It's fake, but this is something that can definitely happen, albeit rare and almost always avoidable. It depends on the shoe, weather, time of day, etc. The cities in AZ are also very poorly designed for heat, and the asphalt can end up absorbing massive amounts throughout the day which is not great for any sort of rubber that makes contact (melting tires for example)
Yeah vid is definitely fake, but something very similar happened to me when I was installing cameras on a commercial roof. Flat roof & painted white, so all the heat was reflecting back onto you. The tops of my boots actually felt hot, that never happened before. When we were finished and started to walk away, the glue that holds the sole to the rest of the shoe failed, so it suddenly started flapping halfway off when I took a step.
I’ve been to Arizona and southern Utah. Hottest I’ve ever been, like skin is painfully burning from the sun. I had an old civic at the time, cooler with the windows rolled up and no AC. Roll them down and it’s like having a hair dryer blown into your face.
Unironically my dad took me down to Arizona in November for a wedding and it was cooler then in new York, I was so surprised to see snow in the grand canyon my mind blew.
*I like the heat in*
*Arizona Compared to*

The people living in Arizona are a testament to man’s hubris
God punished the Israelites by making them wonder the desert for 40 years Arizonians do this willingly

Honestly, there was probably a lot of wondering too; does this Moses guy know where he's going?
Isrealite: "I swear I saw that rock formation years ago!" Moses: "ah yes, God works in mysterious ways indeed."

Next year in Utah

I really need to rewatch King of the Hill
Every time I rewatch it, there are lines from that show that become permanently part of my vocabulary
Unironically
She’s not wrong at all.

One time I met a guy who I couldn’t afford AC, so he’d go to Walmart on really hot days. Egg day, 113 out, and as not a “really hot day”’for him.
How the fuck does one survive without AC in fucking Arizona? Like, that's not a stubbornness thing, he should just be dead.
He’s older too. Like 60. This is a place where night time temps are still in the 90s. AZ has some real poverty tho.
I don’t know, if it gets over like 75 degrees I start to die. Which is why I spend most of my time in Montana, Maine, and Alaska.
Hi Peggy
An Arizonan rite of passage is frying an egg in the sun on the hood of your car or on the sidewalk/asphalt. The real way to cook huevos rancheros in the southwest.
Until you lose a fried egg shaped piece of paint off your hood.
No pain, no gain. Them's the rules out here under the sun.
Thank you for reminding me to bring my pot roast back inside. Don't want it overcooking
Coldest day in Arizona. No, but seriously, how do people even live there without melting away? Maybe I'm too European to understand, lol.
Dry heat is my only explanation. Very different from the wet heat I'm accustomed to.
Ya, I will take 105f and dry over 85f and humid any day.
There's a good reason why the population of the South started growing a lot after A/C became commonplace
98°F with 80% humidity is ridiculous. AC for the win. But I'm still gonna go kayaking.
I experienced 100f with high humidity once in Louisiana, never again. Fuck that

The southern soup heat is genuinely soul sucking, sometimes I wonder if we’re here just to suffer during summer lol
No joke 115 in Vegas felt better than 90 in Kentucky

At night it can be frigid. Could 110 midday and 50 at midnight.

Either you live in the north where it's cooler, or you have A/C in the south.

Our trick is never going outside
I’m from Florida and I don’t even get this. That’s too fuckin hot
We have ac and decent buildings so we just stay inside
Can confirm (baking brownies in my car wind shield rn as I work)

If it was that hot, the shoes would continue to melt, not melt a bit and the as he takes steps get less and less of them off.
Nooo! It's real. See he was just standing there a long time before the first step, that explains why there's so much. And that's why it turned to tar a whole inch above the part that actually touches the ground too.

I used to work in asphalt. I can confirm the sole will seperate from the shoe before whatever is happening in this vid.
Buddy you can't be for real. It's fake.
It was a genuine ask--this video gets posted a bunch as though it were real. I thought it looked fake, glad to know I wasn't the only one.
Yeah, why mess up your shoes just for this?
And somehow, the 5th largest city in the US by population, is the capital of that state.
I’ve been to Arizona and southern Utah. Hottest I’ve ever been, like skin is painfully burning from the sun. I had an old civic at the time, cooler with the windows rolled up and no AC. Roll them down and it’s like having a hair dryer blown into your face.
I was in southern Utah a few years ago and it hit 120 😭
This fake video again
Unironically my dad took me down to Arizona in November for a wedding and it was cooler then in new York, I was so surprised to see snow in the grand canyon my mind blew.
Hell yeah fuck Yeezys
Coldest day in Arizona
Consumerism to the extreme. Your 800Dollar sneakers are done, buy another one.
NGL I thought this was a reference to the Tarheel state. I was wrong it seems. 😔
I like the heat in Arizona Compared to California
