This just in...I'm an idiot...

Well this afternoon was dedicated to reading up and starting a new batch of beer but since its friday of a long weekend i decided to go and get some beer to sip on....well after i dumped my started yeast in my 100f wort....i went F@#$ as i realized what i had just done., guess i had a few to many lol...so is this going to kill all my yeast?

If it was a dried yeast, most of it will survive and reproduce. Many liquid yeasts will make it as well, but expect a slow start while they recover.

It will be fine.

One thing is for sure...time will reveal how much made it

You're not an idiot dude. An idiot is someone who leaves the lid on the brew pot during the boil. I won't do that again!

It was my first batch and I don't feel so bad about the aftertaste - the up front taste is good and I know what I did wrong. It will just come out towards the end of the night when people start to scramble for a beverage!

Don't feel bad. I did this in 95 degree wort and realized what I was doing as the (liquid) yeast was pouring out of the pack. I felt like a total ass. Still everything worked out great. In fact, the beer fermented like crazy and it's still one of my favorite brews. The worst thing that could happen I guess is that you'd have to repitch.

well i see a bit of bubbling and what not going on...so i guess its doing alright?

120 degrees will injure and start to kill yeast, 140 degrees is the death toll.

yep, I'd say so. give it another 24 hours and it should be bubbling light normal.

i pitched into 90+ wort once and it took almost 3 days to show signs of fermentation.
beer tastes fine though.

i did the same thing a couple batches ago, it turned out fine, a little slow but it caught up and fermented out fine
