Get in tub; get out; lie in front of the fan. It won't cool your house, but it will keep you from dying of heat stroke.
Cool shower! Put water in your tub with a fan nearby.
Look on Facebook marketplace - you could get 2-3 used for the price of one new.
Make your protest vote, or protest skip, or whatever. You'll feel superior and no one else will notice.
You advocate electing trump on principle to teach the dnc a lesson?
But we all know its really change "does not" to "will."
My 'content ' is almost entirely dumb comments that are often barely related to the post. Definitely not adding to the world, but hopefully no one takes it seriously enough for it to have any negative impact other than just wasted space.
Happy birthday. Next week should be better. I did6n't normally advocate not paying bills, but whats the worst that will happen if you don't pay Mayo?
Have you tried duolingo? It's pretty fun and sucks you in.
Or learning a craft or instrument? I've wasted a lot of time watching YouTube video lessons for ukulele, bongos, and cajon. Right now I'm stuck on videos of people trying to make DIY coolers better than yeti or homemade air conditioners. I love a good science fair project!
You can do it! In a few weeks he will sleep through the night and you'll both wake up panicked because it's 6am and you haven't heard from him in 7 hours. These are the things that you'll look back on and smile. You're doing it!
It shouldn't be greater then the size of his hands?
Would you consider volunteering at an animal shelter? Doing good for others helps you feel less bad about yourself.
We all feel like it was our fault. The coulda/shoulda will eat you. Find something else to occupy your brain.
My son always says i love you to his family and friends when leaving or ending a phone call. Then he started dating one of his friends and he felt like he had to stop saying it so she didn't think he meant he loved her. They had a conversation, agreed that the dating was just casual, and went back to saying i love you.
After my mom passed everyone on my cell plan began getting phone calls and text messages to buy her house.
I like Nickelback
Not enough to follow them around, but i would see them if they came to town and I'm kind of looking forward to watching the Netflix show when I'm home alone Monday.
Flow dropped a couple of new strains today and restocked some others.

I'm missing the drop notices and reviews from r/, but not enough to go back.
US politics- Who should/could take Biden's place?
I know people will say anyone, but realistically, if you could hand pick our next President, who would you choose? Who do you think could win?
Is there a confessions community?
I popped into r/ today to read about furniture and now I'm feeling kinda dirty. Maybe i should donate to lemmy as penance.
Pecan for outdoor furniture?
I got a good deal on some pecan and i was planning to use it to build patio furniture. I don't know much about pecan and I'm having trouble finding much info about it. Is this a good wood for outdoor use or should i find an indoor project for it?
What's the best US site/app to sell stuff?
Cleaning out my mom's house. I hate to trash things that may be useful to someone else and some of it's probably worth some $$. I've used Facebook marketplace a couple of times. I've heard of OfferUp and LetGo but haven't used them. Where will i get the best response and $? Should i just pile it all up and do an online estate sale instead? TIA. Also, if anyone has done this and has any general tips, please share.
Have you ever scent trained a dog? Do you have experience with a blind pet?
My 10 year old pup is going blind. We've been in the same house for most of her life and she's doing ok, but I'm worried it's going to get more difficult for her. She's not the smartest, but she can sit, lie down, and shake on command. I've read several articles about scent training but would like to get tips from someone who has done it. I'm thinking of using 4 different scents for bed, toys, stairs, and food/water - i know she can smell the food, but i want to make sure she can find the water bowl when she's outside. Is that too many?
One article recommended marking a path on the floor/ground so she knows where there's a clear route. Another suggested marking furniture/obstacles so she knows where to avoid.
If you have any experience with this and can offer tips, i would appreciate it. Also, if you want to share any happy stories about your VI pets, i would love to hear them. It's heartbreaking to see her misjudge the doorway or bonk into things.
political polls
Have you ever been asked to participate in a political poll? Do you know of anyone who has?
TIL about Thomas Midgley and I wonder what's 'perfectly safe' today.
Though the dangers of leaded gasoline and CFCs are now well-known, their inventor, Thomas Midgley Jr. — the subject of a film under development — was once lauded as a hero. But even he couldn’t escape the impact of his creations.
I'm glad we don't snuggle people as a greeting the way we snuggle animals.
Edit to clarify that by 'snuggle' i meant all pets, scritches, belly rube, squeezes, ass pats, questions about who's the goodest, nicknaming, etc.
What to watch?
Sick and feel like I've hit the end of Netflix, Prime, ... Is there a community about what everyone is streaming/recommending?
Do you leave a tip for housekeeping if you're only staying one night in a hotel?
Is it a 'thank you for prepping my room' or 'please clean my room today'? If you tip post cleaning, it's likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?
ETA- I'm in the US. Does the rest of the world tip housekeeping? I always have when traveling because I do at home, but I don't know what the norm is.
thca and dry herb vape communities
There's a vaporent community and a vaporists community. Neither have been active for almost a year. It would be nice to have one of those going to see what everybody's using. I also miss the old old cult/ Franklin/thca groups from r/. Anyone interested in starting one of those?
What's a fun office prank? Christmas themed if possible.
Boss is going away for a few days and we're trying to create a fun surprise for when she returns. Our offices are all shared so it has to be limited to a small area and can't impact other people toooo much.
Not really casual but I i don't know where to put this. I lost a school kid last week...
It's very sad, but with the holiday weekend I've been able to keep it in the back of my mind instead of the front. Now that Mom is sharing info on services, i can't imagine actually going there and seeing and what to say... and it's getting to me, a lot. Today is a celebration day in my house and i don't want to bring my family down, so i just need a place to rest this until i can get back to it tomorrow and begin processing. Sorry for public journaling.
Texas has an open primary
Anyone registered to vote can choose a Republican or Democratic ballot. Many of the people on the Democratic ballot (in my area) are running unopposed, so it was a good opportunity to try to get the least crazy people on the November ballot. Also, the republican ballot has 13 propositions that are not on the Democratic one, so that's your only chance to have a say in those (and IMO they are really really bad!)
TIL about the phrase 'carbon footprint'
It was initially used by BP to shift blame to consumers instead of oil companies.
