I live in louisiana, it's actually really nice today compared to most days since we're in that nice 3 days of fall season. I was just giving an example of why AC is always blasting here. Your comment backs up my point that it's HOT in the USA

Not going to argue with you about using AC in Louisiana. I think a lot of people just don't understand how fucking hot and unpleasant it gets in the southern states during summer.

If it was just heat, it wouldn't be as bad. But a good chunk of the "South" in the US is swampland. And that means 95-100% humidity.

That means that when you sweat, it doesn't evaporate. And it doesnt make you cooler. And the sweat then warms up to the air/body temperature, and further blankets you in hot... And you sweat more.

Some scarier numbers, mammals die without shelter in around 8 hours if the temp is 35°C (95 °F) in saturated (100% humidity) air.

I invite all these guys to live in a shotgun in Algiers (NOLA) without central air or window units for the summer and see how long they last.
