    you just kind of deal with it honestly. it’s hot and you be dripping all day and night long. is what it is.

    When I was a kid our AC would go out for a week or two every summer. Shit suuuuucked. The only trick I really figured out besides “don’t move and be miserable” was putting damp rags in the freezer to put on my body

      my family had consistent central air when i was a kid, living in a somewhat hotter climate. i like to stick my head in the freezer when the fan is running.

      my neighbors made a 'ghetto AC' where they would stick ice packs in front of a box fan in the shadiest room and make the littles run to swap em out from the freezer when they melted. Kind of fun but still sad.
