How are people functioning in this weather??

Discussion

My entire personality this week has been AC, cold showers and staying inside. I don't know if it's just me but I seriously cannot deal with the heat lately. I've basically been living in shorts with the AC blasting 24/7 because the second I step outside I feel like I'm melting. I can barely sleep at night and even working from home has been miserable. Yesterday it got so bad that I filled the bathtub with cool water around midday just to cool off. I was scrolling TikTok for a while and after doom scrolling way too many thirst traps, I was in one of those moods so grabbed my WhisperRabbit while I was already relaxing in the bath... Not gonna lie though the relief after? Unreal. Tbh ended up being the most chill part of my entire day.

Wondering if I'm becoming a summer hermit because all I want to do is stay inside with the AC blasting and a huge glass of ice water next to me. I don't know if it's bad to have the AC running all day but I don't know how else people are surviving this heat.
Am I the only one who's been hiding inside this week? What's been your go to way to survive this heatwave?
