My pre-M1 x86 Macbook Pro would overheat so badly and grind to a halt, that once I had a Zoom meeting scheduled that I could not miss, so I took a bag of frozen peas out of the freezer, and rubbed them on the bottom of the Mac until it cooled down enough to run Zoom. I made the meeting in time, but it ruined the peas, though.

I often make the bottom of my laptop slightly wet so it can evaporate and cool it. My parents think it’s a bad idea but I think if I don’t get it inside the laptop it should be fine?
