Nanons what are your ways to survive heat? I feel like i'm melting, i have difficulties sleeping, my electronics are suffering. My situation is particularly bad cause i have sun hitting my room directly all day, i have 3 computers that i have to keep on all the time(24/7) in the same room with multiple monitors all pointing on me that generate extra heat, one of these computer is a laptop and the keyboard gets really fucking hot even though fan are at amaximum and it has good cooling.

>Imagine not living in the southern hemisphere

Go outside. Open a window. Drink lots of water, and enjoy the warmth while it lasts. Get a desk fan.

Furnished basements are actually useful for this kind of situation. Your computers will probably be fine (doesn't Google run their server environments hot?), but you'll likely not be comfortable being in the same room. Depending on if you're in a dry or humid climate will dictate: box fan vs AC. It's also a good idea to block out direct sunlight from entering through the windows because that will heat up the room too.

If in a dry climate, remember airflow. Some windows will allow you to move the top and bottom panels to the center so there are two openings, hot air rises out the top one. You'll also want to open windows at opposite sides of the building so air can enter one window and exit another.

Get a spay bottle and use it to mist water onto yourself, it will cool you off by evaporation (that's what sweat does). Just don't over do it. A wet bandana around the neck can help.

Nanonymous No.11892 [D] >>11902

i eat mostly botanical fruit flesh (fruits and veggie-fruits, the 'veggies' with seeds where the edible flesh is; i discard most peels except for some that are yummy to my tastes) in warmer weather. some botanical flower energies and stuff like organic edible mint essence help. sometimes refrigerated or frozen foods, haven't relied on them lately as much as in the past. raw treenuts taste pretty good frozen, sometimes they grow a bit in the freezer. also the noctua 200mm fans are quite efficient in terms of energy, volume of air pushed, and audible volume; an array of those is worth considering, haven't personally found bigger fans that are more efficient except for some ceiling fans like the eight-feet haiku fans. also iceberg lettuce petals and some stuff like that. favorite fruit juices and nectars, et alia

Air-conditioning.

Nanonymous No.11894 [D] >>11902

Install an awning, or get a tarp and two tent poles to erect a makeshift awning over the window and block out the direct sunlight. Cool your computers with an air purifier it will reduce the humidity and remove dust and particles that woukd otherwise collect on you electronics. Humid dust rusts diodes, or at least it used to on gigabyte brand boards in 2004. Install fly screens and keep you windows and doors open. Air conditioning is a meme, i never use it in my house. If you share, swap rooms or move to a cool dark room. Leave. Go to the southern hemisphere like >>11888 suggests . Wear less/lighter/no clothing, it makes a huge diffrence. If you are hosting, could you remote access your systems and put tgem in another room? Do they need to be where you sleep? The laptop with a hot keyboard needs to be elevated off the desk. Use an external keyboard switcher. Turn off monitors when not in use. I dont know how i feel about hosting on a laptop.

I usually just put ice cubes on my body and let them melt but that sounds like a cool idea. Another idea is to use cooling gel packets taped to your body.

Thanks for all your advices.

>If in a dry climate, remember airflow.
I would say it's more humid than dry, but not too humid, i don't have those kind of windows, either they're open or not, i don't have fly screens on one of the windows so can't obtain airflow without getting insects but if heat keeps going like this airflow may be more important than not having insects, i'll try it tomorrow.

>Get a spay bottle and use it to mist water onto yourself
Could't find a proper spray bottle so i settled instead for a wet piece of cloth, pretty effective i recommend.

I have a couple of random 200mm computer fans lying around, not noctua though the only noctua fans i have are a couple of industrial 140mm fans i use on one of my servers, but how do you put the thing together, did you 3D print a stand or what and do you connect it to the PSU or have some sort of alternative method to power it, genuinely curious.

>awning
Not sure i can start building stuff, i don't own this house.
>Cool your computers with an air purifier
Interesting, wanting to buy one of these since a while, do you have a(not too much expensive) reccomendation on which model?
>If you share, swap rooms or move to a cool dark room.
>If you are hosting, could you remote access your systems and put tgem in another room?
I live alone but the house is really small, there is a closet, the kitchen and the bathroom, in closet they would overheat and i don't have correct plugs, kitchen is small and it's not good to have electronics near water, same for the bathroom, the only place viable is near my bed, feels bad man.
>The laptop with a hot keyboard needs to be elevated off the desk
You're right will do.
>Turn off monitors when not in use
I do use them with the laptop, i have a severe addiction to multiple screens, fuck me i guess.
>I dont know how i feel about hosting on a laptop.
I don't host on the laptop, but i use it all day, so it would be more correct of me to say that 2 pcs are 24/7 and 1 is 16/7.

Here's my trick. Wear long sleeved t-shirts. They will insulate you from the heat.

>>11903
Mix bleach with rubbing alcohol. The alcohol and bleach produce a strong endothermic reaction which rapidly freezes and cools the surroundings.

i usually put ice cubes inside my asshole and wait until they melt, the best way to cool you body is internally

Look at this fucking plebian over here. I put dry ice into both my asshole and my pussy for maximum cooling power.

I will tell you one thing. Buy a large ass motherfucking mirror and place it on the floor. Lay down on said mirror to cool yourself down. Better than a cold water and saves money. Mirrors are always colder than the room temperature.

if you are fat, lose weight. this is the most important thing to feeling comfortable in general, even more so in hot climates.

whatever you do don't use AC, or you won't be able to live without it. you will feel discouraged to leave the house, further addicting yourself to ac and forcing yourself into a sedentary lifestyle, guaranteeing your fattyness, which worsens your reaction to heat.

what i do: drink as much water as you are able to. get your body used to sweating a lot. wear loose fitting clothes. don't wear anti-perspirant, use essential oils and eat the right kind of fats, mainly vegetarian diet (keeps you from stinking too much). take frequent showers, douse face, ears, and neck whenever possible (see mamillian dive reflex). it cools you off and also lowers your blood pressure, which cools you off even more.

when it gets really hot (like between 95F and 40C) i always wear a white damp towel on my head. shields the radiation, saves my moisture, and keeps me cool.

when im in the house, airflow is essential. you will not see me living in a house with poor airflow. i also do not like furniture. i prefer hammocks and japanese tatames. furniture is the most retarded shit humanity has ever evented. chairs suck. chairs covered in fluffy shit suck even worse. what kind of utility is this setup supposed to provide? my current setup is more comfortable, more practical, less dust accumulation, better for my body, more interesting places to have sex, and it's cooler
