This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

A modern home ACs can only cool about 20f below the outside temperature. 50c to 35c is 27 degrees so that's pretty damn good for a fancy unpowered swamp cooler
pretty sure 50c to 35c is 15 degrees
I wonder how he got his number, it makes no sense.
EDIT: oh, he just randomly mixed °C and °F, because why not...
Fucking Americans
It’s the Mars Climate Orbiter all over again.
50c is 122f, 35c is 95f so he went 50c-35c = 122f-95f = 27f because why the fuck not.
