Any other bongs suffering from the heat today? It's nearly 33 degrees in my room right now

>>935940207 (OP)
Yeah man it's gay. Open up your attic hatch, it helps.

>>935940382
Huh I never knew this. Thanks anon

>>935940207 (OP)
Why don't you just go to Argos and get yourself a big fan?

>>935940207 (OP)
Florida man here. Why don't people in the UK simply plan for hot weather? It literally happens every year like clockwork except it's even more reliable than a clock.

Like you can open your windows at night when it's cool, and then close them in the morning so it stays cool inside. You could install a window air conditioner and have at least one cool room. You could wear light clothing and stay in the shade. You could sleep during the day and be active at night. You could drink lots of water and stay hydrated. You could build your houses with insulation so the temperature inside doesn't vary wildly. You could go swim in water, like at the beach or at a public pool.

Instead you all act like it's supposed to be the middle of winter all year and dress like a Hogwarts student and get surprised when hundreds of not thousands die of heat stroke and dehydration like they did every year in recent memory.

33 is nothing. Try 41 with 100% humidity while hurricanes are pointed right at you so you've got to board up your windows and if your home is really shitty you'll have to tie it to the ground or something. For some reason you all think that's a great time to go to Disney world and wonder if driving 30 minutes to get there means you took a wrong turn and you're in some other country.

Why are britfags caught off guard every year by a little warm weather? Then you run around and blame it on climate change, like "hurrrr, It NeVeR uSeD tO gEt ThIs HoT:", like you didn't just get fucked up by this 10 months ago. You faggots don't even have to deal with tornadoes or earthquakes. Get back to us when it hits 45, you have wildfires to the north, and floods to the south.

>>935943566
>driving 30 minutes to get there means you took a wrong turn and you're in some other country
Kek. To be fair, I stayed in Tallahassee one night and thought I got lost in sub-Sahara Africa.

>>935942947
I've got a pretty good fan. Just poured cold water over myself and I'm letting it air dry me
>>935943566
>>935944225
Lol yeah we're terrible any time the weather fluctuates, hot or cold. It's a bit of a meme here that the country grinds to a complete halt whenever there's even a tiny bit of snow and the heat always fucks us up.

Idk about other people but I do a lot of those things you mentioned to help stay cool. I wonder why people here never really bother with AC in their homes

>>935943566
its a well known fact that british heat is hotter than american heat, you guys have ac.

>>935944720
also the uk is on the water, so humidity is higher, coupled with the fact a large majority of hosues were built in the early 20th century, plus the fact that we dont have ac in a large majority of houses.
the other fact of the matter is, we can go from 35+ degrees one day, to 20 the next day, people dont have time to acclimate to it

>>935940207 (OP)
i got aircon installed a few years ago, have no gas line or radiator system in this house (was storage radiators) so i use it for heating in the winter and god damn it's nice blowing cold in the summer

>>935944807
less than 5 % of british homes have any kind of AC, while roughly 88 % of us households do.
most houses are built from solid brick, tiny cavities, minimal ventilationand they were purpose-built to keep precious heat in. during a spike that same mass just soaks up solar gain all day and radiates it back at you till 3 a.m.
july averages in london push 60 - 90 % relative humidity; dallas in the same month sits nearer 58% absolute moisture isn’t always higher, but without AC (which also dehumidifies) homes never dry out, so sweat can’t evaporate and your body’s main cooling loop stalls.
40.3c 19 july 2022 back in the low 20s 2 days later
>HURR DURR BRITISH PEOPLE ARE JUST COMPLAINERS
>HURR DURR WHY DO YOU GUISE COMPLAIN
>proceeds to sit in an air conditioned house all year round

>>935943566
>Like you can open your windows at night when it's cool, and then close them in the morning so it stays cool inside
absolute retard

>>935944933
>we built our homes for purpose
Brick is literally the worst insulator. 2 seconds on google can tell you that your homes in yuuurope are made simply to survive millenia since building a new home with no land is impossible and that brick shithole.is about to be in your family for hundreds of years awright?, meanwhile we can move about because the US is 47 times the size of the UK

>>935940207 (OP)
Why not get a window unit?

>>935945186
They need a license to have a fucking television in bongworld dude, dpnt make this awkward

>>935945117
>Brick is literally the worst insulator.
That's why we have cavity walls

>>935945302
At least we can have Kinder eggs and unpasteurised cheese and milk.

>>935945341
So absolutely no different from american build homes. Brick on the outside (or sodong like normal) and bullshit layers of wood and insulation inside....so whats your point?

>>935944661
>I wonder why people here never really bother with AC in their homes
I hear it's because they figure "why would a pay £xxx and only use it a couple times a year?". But then you retards jump on tax-funded heat pumps at £20k a pop. I bet if the government subsidized AC through higher taxation you dipshits would be immediately on your knees, even swallowing if there's a second SmartMeter at play.

>>935945368
Kinder is here and unpasturized milk and cheese can lead to sever gall bladder issues, funny enough I had cheese in ireland once and it made me hit my brains out from how much bacteria was in it. Not a plus homie.

33 is beautiful weather here. It's been 40 this past week.

Why are Brits gigantic pussies?

>>935945368
>At least we can have Kinder eggs
Is that the hill you're willing to die on? You don't even have free speech.
>unpasteurised cheese and milk
We can get that shit too. There's nothing stopping you.

>>935945368
>we have unwashed egg products and milk!
Haha ok.

>>935945501
Because they have the same weather as fucking portland which has given birth to only the biggest faggots in history.

>>935945302
So you can't just go to Home Depot and grab one? What is the reasoning behind that? I've got 2. One for my bedroom and the other for my shop/garage.

>>935945501
kek, OP said "nearly", so it's fucking 89° F and he's dying in his own house. I'm supposed to get 103° today, and it's not even summer yet.

>>935945547

>>935945547

>>935945368
But we don't have chlorinated chicken, puke flavor chocolate, or even corn syrup pumped into all our foods... We fucking lost, britbro...

>>935945577
nice double dubs anon

>>935945501
I dunno man, maybe it's like another anon said about not having time to acclimate to it before it drops / rises suddenly, or nobody here having AC
>>935945577
Well it was 33 earlier, dropped back down to 32 now. I suppose how people deal with different temperatures is relative to whatever they are personally used to

>>935945899
>I suppose how people deal with different temperatures is relative to whatever they are personally used to
It totally is, but notice the difference here: there aren't 356 people starting threads whining about how warm it is right now.

>>935945984
Yes, the OP should go delete the other 355 threads he made whining about how warm it is right now

>>935945984
Dunno what to tell you, maybe other places don't suffer as much with the rapid fluctuations / humidity so it feels worse for us
I've never seen anybody, British or otherwise, make a thread complaining about heat here on /b/ - I just thought it was hot today so I made a thread and a few American anons started shit flinging and getting angry

>>935946331
>I've never seen anybody, British or otherwise, make a thread complaining about heat here on /b/
There's always a handful of them every time it gets warm.
>a few American anons started shit flinging and getting angry
No one's angry, it's just annoying and literally nobody cares. And dramatic weather happens all over, there's nothing special about GB.

>>935946331
>>935946713
BTW, what the fuck is "all four seasons" in the UK mean? Rain, rain, rain, and 33° and sunny?

>>935940382
i unfortunately do not have a license for attic-opening during summer

>>935946757
slightly cooler than that here, but still fairly hot

>>935940207 (OP)
imma need sauce on that img, chief

>>935940207 (OP)
33 degrees is cold you fucking idiot

>>935945574
They need a license to own a television...not sure how much clearer that can be. And no, a license is not a mexican, they cant just roll into home depot and buy one.

>>935950672
I'm sure you're just trolling but the 'license' isn't like a license for owning a gun or something, it's just a tax with a dumb name. It's also not for owning a TV but for watching live TV / BBC. Pretty sure you can just say 'nah I don't use it' and not pay it.
I dunno if Americans pay for their live TV broadcasts through some sort of tax or if it's funded some other way, but it would be the same as that

I worked in Ireland for a year and it was hilarious how they lost their minds when it was 80F outside. They complained more about 80F "heat" than people back home in the USA complained about a 105F day.

>>935948419
That's not 4 seasons, dumbass.

>>935951888
>license for owning a gun
A what? When my grandpa died he willed me 8 guns. My grandma simply gave them to me, no paperwork needed, lol. Must suck to live in a cuck state/nation.

>>935952103
Yup same here, I got up around 10AM and it was 31C

>>935951888
>isn't like a license for owning a gun
Not a thing in the US either.
>I dunno if Americans pay for their live TV broadcasts through some sort of tax
There are outlets like NPR and PBS that are tax funded, and you've probably seen them in the news lately with DOGE and all that, but all the Fox, CNN, MSNBC, local news channels, superbowl, olympics, and everything else are paid for by their own ads. I have an antenna and don't pay a dime for broadcast.
The US does have a TV tariff* though. Any panel that comes with a tuner is affected. That's why some companies have started selling large format "monitors" instead of TVs, because they avoid the tariffs, but you don't have a tuner if you want one.

*This tariff isn't new. It's one of the 36,000 US tariffs that have been around forever that people have just accepted and forgotten about, like the chicken tax.

>>935955046
Is that celsius or centigrade? I bet you don't even know.

Yeh too fucking hot. Although one of my housemates got pissed on cider earlier and started walking round with her knockers out complaining about the heat so not all bad

>>935955804
>and I have the proof right here
