minus-squaredaannii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-28 hours agoI 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.
