no lol
It goes from 85 to 58 in 12 hours right now in reality world
"A bit" = 1 day, and by the end of that day it'd be freezing (below freezing if you live in whiteistan)
I honestly think you're forgetting the atmosphere and like, physical ground under our feet. It doesn't generally drop to 0C overnight unless it's already pretty close to 0C because of the heat trapped in the atmosphere and emanating from the earth's core. It's going to be more like a week for most places.
no im not, you're forgetting that the sun exists
Max-Min temps (F) yesterday across 3 different continents:
Lucknow 82-53
Mandalay 90-67
Kisangani 91-76
Porto Velho 85-77
Temps drop by 22 F at night (avg) around the equator. Most tropical land reaches freezing in 1.5 days if the sun vanishes. Forget temperate.
Best case scenario is Tropical rainforest since water holds heat. Middle of Amazon gets "only" an 8 F (4.4 C) drop in 12 hours, so 3.3 days to reach freezing.
keep in mind that these temp drops occur right now, in reality meatspace, despite "the atmosphere and like, physical ground under our feet". (both of these exist)
Actually, on second thoughts, this comment explicitly proves that you're a reactionary hiding their lack of investigation behind accusations of immaterialism - just by applying your own logic to real world numbers, you've gone from a day to half a week. You have no place opining on this subject.
