It's an old saying. The Empire had colonies all over the world so at any point in time it was day for at least one colony. Therefore the sun never set on The Empire as a whole.
The joke is making fun of that old saying, pretending it means there is no night for the British isles and all the sun is causing the temperature of the isles to increase.
I hope that's enough explanation to remove any humor from the joke.
Although the saying ends '...on the British empire', not the weird wording in the poster that no one would ever use.

An explained joke might lose its funny in the moment
But you also ensure future jokes riffing on similar ideas will land better.

Thanks! Never been to Britain, so no chance of knowing this nuance...

Feel free to take out our leadership or lack thereof.
This is a joke, that probably would make things worse... Somehow

JFC that's too hot. I'd been thinking maybe Spain would be a nice place to move to and a bit more like where I grew up climate wise... that's way too much like Florida. Is that at least a dry heat or is it outdoor sauna?

40 cents rot? Prices in the US are pretty steep, nowadays, it seems.

I'd use it all the ways.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Depending where you go. If you go to the coast there's a lot of humidity. On the center the climate is very dry and the nights are not so hot. Typical day in interior spain temperature can go from 10C to 35C easily.
Still pretty hotter than the rest of europe overall.
Climate wise the worst is that we are very vulnerable to climate change. Our highest temperatures are already pretty high so higher temperatures in summer will be deathly. Also some parts of Spain are vulnerable to drastic climate events, recently two hundred people die in a heavy flood in Valencia.

Yeah its a sad thing when your country had weather you liked and then climate change ruined it. While i also like the weather in some parts of spain, my favourite thing is very continental weather. Hungary used to be that with -15 in winters and +30-35 in summers and now its wet 0c winters and a bit hotter summers(which dont bother me that much tbf). Its interesting that it didnt just shift up the temperature by x degrees, instead it nuked winter and made summer only a bit hotter.

"Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noon day sun". Not sure where I heard that quote but it's always stuck with me.
