We study a generalization of the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system for an incompressible fluid where the deviatoric part of the Cauchy stress tensor is related to the symmetric part of the velocity gradient via a maximal monotone 2-graph that is continuously parametrized by the temperature. As such, the considered fluid may go through transitions between three of the following regimes: it can flow as a Bingham fluid for a specific value of the temperature, while it can behave as the Navier-Stokes fluid for another value of the temperature or, for yet another temperature, it can respond as the Euler fluid until a certain activation initiates the response of the Navier-Stokes fluid. At the same time, we regard a generalized threshold slip on the boundary that also may go through various regimes continuously with the temperature. All material coefficients like the dynamic viscosity, friction or activation coefficients are assumed to be temperature-dependent. We establish the large-data and long-time existence of weak solutions, applying the $L^{\infty}$-truncation technique to approximate the velocity field.
