This is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them.

The commenter you're replying to is using a common English colloquialism: "go out." In this particular construction, "go out" is short for "go outside," which generally refers to the act of transporting one's physical body (assumed to currently exist inside a structure, underground, or somehow contained within some sort of boundary) to a location that could be considered exterior to their present location.

In the context of the thread, the commenter is inviting those making claims about the air temperature to experience it for themselves by exiting their current containment units and exposing their sensory organs to the actual air temperature of the external world, thus providing the counterpoint to their proposition.

For the beginning of the sentence, please see:

Someone went out of their way to create a bespoke response for when a user blocks an NSFW community. It immediately asks you if you'd like to block all NSFW or just the community in question. There is no other subject given similar treatment.

I may want to stay on the instance I'm currently on and occasionally poke fun at notions like this, because that's a good way for me to help better frame my thinking and share it with others. Even if it's in a silly place like showerthoughts.
