Yeah, the only thing you gotta be careful with is wool, because that seriously shrinks like crazy with anything over 20°C. Everything else just goes on 30-40°C, good luck.

That assumes you have bought you own house which you can alter. Where I live it's 60% owns and 40% rents, but the cities, where it's much warmer and which heat up faster and thus need ac the most, have more renters than buyers. So you're dependent on whoever you're renting from to do anything like that.

The problem is (at least here in the Netherlands) is that all our windows are fucking enormous because it used to be cold and overcast 90% of the time here, and you'd take all the warmth and sunlight you can get. With the insulation already normally there, it heats up a ton in summers these days because the sun is just shining through you window covering the entire wall half of the day. The heat then can't go anywhere. It's completely build to get as much heat and light in and trap it there. The only thing you can really do against that is sun blocking on the outside of the house, but that isn't always possible, and if you happen to have an apartment on the top floor or side of a building or an apartment with/on an attic, you're just shit out of luck.

So cute omg. I'd love a sibling pair of cats in the future. My cats get along fine, but they would never do this.

As much as I also have hope in the next generation, there isn't a damn thing we can do anymore. If every single human being disappeared right now, the earth would continue warming and experiencing climate change for 100s more years, because of the feedback loops we have set in motion and the fact that the ocean is still dampening some effects, but won't be able to for long. Our only hope to avert complete disaster, collapse of society and maybe even the extinction of humanity is if we find a way to start pulling massive amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere ASAP. Carbon neutrality isn't enough, we need to be carbon negative. If zoomers can get that done, in time, then they're a whole other fucking class of human. I hope they do, but I think the odds are against them and all of us.

Lmao. We do need ac though, the problem is Europe has a ton of older houses which were build when it was much more beneficial to try and keep warmth in rather than out. And it's a pain in the ass to retrofit all these houses with ac. I live in a flat which was build about 15 years ago and the difference compared to my previous apartments is enormous. Still no ac, but it's not needed here because of proper isolation and smaller windows.

He's just a silly little guy

10 months clean baby 🤙I quit for lots of reasons but the idea that my cats would be scared and alone and have to be rehoused if I died is absolutely one of them.

Have you tried simply being too poor to ever eat out and being forced to cook everything yourself?
