      People complain because we’re not acclimatised to hot temperatures, and the infrastructure is generally not built to deal with them either. Australians feel cold in 10c weather too, which we’d have no issues with. It’s not that hard to figure out.

    My emergency cooling thing is keeping a few spray bottles of water in the fridge and spritzing yourself periodically.

    never heard of a hosepipe in my life… but after looking it up, it makes sense i guess. reminds me of this greentext copypasta thing: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/690/828/2e0.png

        a hose and a pipe are two different things in the US, though they serve similar functions. We might call it a garden hose to be more specific, but a hose is typically a bendable tube you can connect to the water spouts on the outside of your house. A pipe would be a fixed metal or pvc tube that carries water and is not bendable.

          We also call it garden hose.

          I think we just like to double it up for emphasis, or something.

          And if you really want to be clear, you might say “garden hose” (but usually it’s just “hose”)
