    Love how they always say “the experts” but never mention what fucking experts they are.

    Give me some names instead of just saying “some expert said it”

    I have lived in the desert my whole life. So I guess I’m an expert now. I can tell you that it’s hot as fuck and it can still kill me. No amount of planned “exposure” is going to prevent dehydration or heat exhaustion.

    As somebody who goes through the extremely hot August summer heat where I live I will tell you that no you don’t get used to the heat if you’re exposed to too much heat you’ll develop heat exhaustion, and if you keep going you’ll get heat stroke which can kill you.

    What I’m wondering though is did Washington compost actually say this, or was it just made for the meme? Honestly if they did I would not be surprised in the slightest.

    Actually true. I’d been wearing an orthopedical corset for a good chunk of my life, now I’m really tolerant to heat, like others may be literally dying while I would be alright.
