Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.
  7. No support questions. See !techsupport@lemmy.world

Soak a wet rag and drape it over your neck. The evaporating water will help keep your neck and shoulders cool, and you can wipe down anywhere that needs a little extra evaporation.

firefighter/medic taught me this trick. make a solution of seabreeze (or similar alcohol based astringent face cleaner) with 1/1/1 water and ice. soak the rag in that and drape it over your neck. the alcohol and menthol in the face cleaner has a multiplying effect on the cooling.
