Slop.

It's about the Eurolibs mocking Americans for using AC and drinking ice water all the time. Americans, like Australians, understand the dangers of heat that Northern Europeans don't. There is this weird sect of Euros (Germans and Brits mostly) that seem to take pride in not using AC who are now melting and dying in drives because of it. I saw something yesterday that said German hospitals were asking patient families to bring cooling towels and vests because it was getting so hot in operating rooms. I have no clue what would cause Germans to be building hospitals without climate control other than hubiris.

Edit: these heat waves are not aberrations anymore as they happen every year.

It does just seem really cruel. We had a very hot summer here in Australia, and even when these people in Europe are complaining about 35 degree days and not 40 degree ones, it's still really hot and really unpleasant, especially when the infrastructure isn't built to handle it at all. It would be one thing to laugh at them for self-inflicted suffering, but not when it is something out of their control like this. And if this is how these people react to Europeans having a hot summer, I can't imagine how disgusting their reaction will be to South East Asia having a wet bulb event.
