Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

fans, preferably ceiling fans but desk fans and standing fans also work. for ceiling fans make sure the fan is spinning the correct way. for desk fans you can do a poor man's version of water AC and put a thin damp rag (not dripping otherwise the water might damage the fan) on the cage so it blows the air through the rag. it probably only works in dry climates though.
if your building doesn't trap heat well, open the windows and doors to have air circulation but have your curtains closed to minimise the amount of light entering the building.
