  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

this seems ridiculous, why not just shut the window blind?

window binds still let the light into the house where the energy then turns to heat.

Heat-reducing window-tint on the other hand is pretty easy to install.

honestly, on the outside, the yoghurt probably isn't a particularly durable layer (i.e. going away after the first rain,) and probably gets to smelling funky. On the inside, it's probably going to also smell funky.

Note sure what they're called, but plenty of houses here have metal blinds on the outside that work perfectly for blocking the sun.
