if you are american, especially from hotter places in america, do not talk any shit about europeans suffering in the heat. i know from experience that the heatwaves in europe are NOTHING like summer heat in the states even if they are generally cooler than temperatures in the states. i'm from humid, hot ass florida, and living in portugal has been a lesson in finding out alternative ways to cool down without HVAC. where i'm from routinely hit 100f and sometimes higher in the summer. where i currently am hits mid 80s-low 90s and it's fucking MISERABLE. and i spent a lot of time outside in the florida heat. it's a completely different experience. shut the fuck up about the heat/heatwaves in europe if you have not experienced it yourself.
