    I grew up without AC. Now it wasn’t as hot as it is now.
    But things you may not be aware you can do.

    Take cold showers.

    Yeah. That works.

    Take a shower and then stand there naked, wet, with a fan on. You will be shivering in no time.

    If you have long hair like I did. I would often just hold my head under the tub faucet. Soak my hair. And face. And that would cool me off.

    I sometimes did this multiple times a day when it was crazy hot.

    You all have access to water. Use it. It’s not just for drinking.

    There was a few instances where I filled the tub and just had a cold bath while reading a book or something.

    The water will stay mostly cool all day. No need to drain each time you get in. Just don’t pee in it.

    No. Get fucked. People who can’t comprehend that they need to drink water to not die, especially in hot temperatures, should die for the betterment of the species.

    Bring back broken glass on playgrounds. Stop turning Idiocracy into a documentary.

      That is a horrendous take. ADHD is prevalent enough for tons of people to completely forget they’re thirsty until they’re dehydrated, but it doesn’t mean we are inferior.

      No matter how much eugenics happens, there will always be ADHDers and neurodivergents of all kinds, and likely still be heaps more who still forget to hydrate.

      Also, if you’re constantly worrying every minute of the day if you’re hydrated enough or not, you’re not living or actually doing anything that’s interesting and fulfilling to you.

        Jesus. Carry water with you. Drink. Set alarms to remind you if you need to. It’s not complicated. If you spend so much time staring at social media feeds that random memes telling you to drink are important and helpful to you then your real problem isn’t ADHD.

    I drank the maximum for my weight and exertion that would just barely not cause water intoxication. Now, let me get a glass

    I thought we all hated FIFA and are supposed to call it a “commercial break”?
