Heat did me. Got to the gym yesterday, was prepping to go into the work room and promptly puked.

Turns out I had heatstroke, so I had to take yesterday off of work to sort myself out. Not fun.

That's horrible. Did you walk out in the 34C/90F weather for a while?

I've started using a loose sun shirt and a hat/sunglasses to get through long hours outside. Really keeps things cool.

Nah, it's being inside and working that did it - the standard thing of very high humidity + houses designed to retain heat and that are bad at venting it means that if it gets 34 outside for a bit, it'll stay 34 inside for a few days at least - so I slept like shit and eventually it spiralled.

Things are aight now though, it's cooled down to a comfortable level again.

Guess opening windows would let too much of the eternal note of sadness rain and the drug dealers in....

Anyone have a link to a short, but effective video/article that explains in layman's terms how aggressive algorithms work on social media and YouTube, why it's dangerous and why the spread of misinformation is so damaging to the world in general?

Opening windows does nothing against the sort of heat we just had, because it's still hot outside. Even when it's not, it takes a good few days for the inside of the house to cool off, even with windows opened.
