its hot, water will evaporate no matter what the cotton wants. the longer the fabric stays wet, the longer the wearer will be cool.

comfort it :P

Cost. Cotton is less expensive than linen, easier to maintain, and more widely available. Banana fiber is also quite cool but is not widely available.

Indian here, so experienced with hot climate.

• Wear loose cotton clothes (long-sleeved if stepping out in the hot sun)
• Keep yourself hydrated.
• Avoid soft/ aerated drinks/ soda & coffee as they’ll dehydrate you. Stick to cool water, ice chips, fresh lemonade made with water, fresh fruit juices, melons, spinach-cucumber-onion-tomato salads, yoghurt,
• Eat light.
• Stick to well-ventilated rooms with good air-circulation (fans help)
• Cold water showers to cool down
• Sweating is good. It’ll cool you down. This is also why Indians eat spicy food and drink hot tea even in hottest summer. Get sweaty then take a quick cold-water rinse.
• If you have to step outside in the hot sun, umbrella, hats, caps etc are your friends.
• Wet towel on the back of the neck for a quick cool down.

ETA: When it gets so hot that we lose our appetite, then our go-to meal is to mix up cooled cooked rice with unsweetened yoghurt and a pinch of salt. its variously called yoghurt rice/ curd rice/ thayir saadam / dahi bhaath / dahi chaawal . This is an easy to make & easy to diges meal that is guaranteed to cool a person down.

thayir = dahi = curd = yoghurt
saada = bhaath = chaawal = cooked rice

Good luck.

While viscose dries faster than cotton, cotton is a breathable fabric and lets you sweat, which cools you down. - Indian here, so have some experience living with hot weather.

Loose, long-sleeved cotton clothes will prevent sunburn + cool you down.

Lower their b.s. tolerance.

No.

tl;dr : They survived.

2 idiots got into a “u.no u” fight on one of my threads that escalated into them brigading each other. Even the block feature didn’t work for a while.

spicy mustard.
