Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.

Must be nice living somewhere where you don't even know that pipes can freeze.
- Okay, you can heat your house but only to 50 degrees.
  
  Everyone in the metric world:
  
  why are they wearing towels?? freaks
  
  50 degrees is half of sauna temp at best though.
  
  Using what baseline? 50 degrees is half the boiling point of water, using the logical baseline of zero.
  
  Exactly. And 100 degrees is what a good sauna should be. Maybe I could go as low as 80, but 50 is absolutely pointless.
  
  Are we talking about the ambient temperature in the room or something else? Cause room temperature at 100c is immediately life threatening.
  
  It isn't. The air being 100 degrees and dry isn't the same as pouring 100 degree water on yourself. You're only sitting there for like 15-20 minutes. Ask any Finn and I guarantee you that 100 degrees is what you aim for.

  Granted, it was 110c, but it was also only 6 minutes at that temp for Vladimir Ladyzhensky to die. I stand by my statement. 100c air temperature is immediately life threatening.
  
  And yet it is the normal temperature for saunas and has been for centuries. I stand by my statements too.
  
  I might get heatstroke but my lizard would be so excited. He could run around without his heat lamps.
  
  based celsius moment
  
  Pipes can't freeze if they're halfway to boiling, I like your thinking
  
  I usually only go for 20 degrees, but I guess a sauna would be fun
  
  Everyone who has their pipes freeze that I've asked said you have to set it to 60 if you really don't want to risk it to freeze.
