I live in the UK, but our summers are getting hotter, and I'm struggling with profuse sweating and mild dehydration. If you are or were a student in Australia, Mexico, southern USA, Spain, Portugal, Greece, South Africa, or any other hot parts of the world, how do/did you stay cool during the day? Note: I am familiar with the idea of a siesta; this is not an option. If the solution is clothing, I don't really care about gendered clothing. If it fits and looks good, it's fine. Thanks! EDIT: For context, I am a student who is specifically having trouble during the school day, so AC systems and curtains aren't viable either. It's really clothing and strategy that I need to think about.

Hey, Lemmy. I've been using the blockchain-based video streaming service Odysee as a YouTube backup for a while now, where I run the PIF archive channel, RandomWolf. I was reading Wikipedia, and it says that the platform is often used by the far right, mainly because of its "free speech" guidelines. However, the channels I am seeing are fine. What do you guys think? Is it safe, or is it just a clone of Rumble? And, while you're at it, can you tell me what you think of Mental Outlaw? My channel is on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCURyU1UgPUOGw2WqScpCTCA), [PeerTube](https://tube.tchncs.de/c/randomwolf) and [Odysee](https://odysee.com/@RandomWolf:1), in case anyone has an interest in the niche.

I (17NB) am thinking of emigrating from the UK when I'm older, but I'm unsure of where I would want to go. If you live in Europe or Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, etc.), what are the good and bad things about life in your country?

I keep cutting out things like social media from my lifestyle, but I'm finding it hard to fill the time. Reading can only go so far, there's never anything on TV, and my friends all live twelve miles away. So, before we really had social media, what did teenagers do?
