51-52 Celsius would be heat-stroke territory.

51 Farenheit is pretty darn cold and would be insanely expensive to keep up in the South. I always forget the conversion (never use Celsius) so assumed it was warmer, but not insanely high. My apologies lol.

yea. its pricey. i make up for the cost in the winter cause i dont run heat that much which. basically the min for preventing pipes to freeze. which is fine cause i like it cold over hot. ideal weather is mid november fall day. though seems like thats been fluctuating more towards december.
Not sure where you're from, but 41-42°C would be heat stroke territory to me. (I hide in cooled buildings if it's >30°C outside.)
They're pointing out that 50C is not really a liveable temperature so by definition "a room that is typically 51-52ish" can not be celsius, especially not as this is with AC given the context.
That much was clear, but 50C is well beyond where heat strokes start to be a thing, so it sounded weird. Perhaps they're from a place like saudi arabia where there are populated places and it can actually ever get close to 50°C? Hence my remark.
