Instead of focusing too much on all of the things that are currently wrong, could you please help paint a picture of what a future utopian society could look like?...
For years now, I’ve thought about all this and I’m in agreement with you; reach a form of world wide enlightenment where humanity understands to keep things simple and live with nature.
Thing is, though I love to imagine it, I don’t see this happening, the world wide enlightenment part, sadly.
Use to take ice packs you freeze to then use to keep your lunch cool in whatever you carry lunches in. Also had a couple hard-plastic small rectangular packs that went into mini coolers that could be frozen …anyway, we’d put them under our Nintendo deck back in the day, to keep it cool, because it’d be summer and back then we didn’t have air conditioning, and a lot of games we played didn’t have saves, so we’d keep that Nintendo deck on for hours & hours and it would run hot like that.
Also, this sucked but it works; put on a bathing suit, while in doors, & get a cold shower, and then surround yourself with some electric fans. Then as soon as you start to feel hot again, go get another cold shower. Again, it sucks, having to constantly get wet, but it was some relief.
Honestly I’d live in my bathtub chin deep in cold water if I ever lose the ability to have AC now, I’m too old to deal with the g.d. heat anymore.
An online article had a fascinating to me tidbit about a rich eccentric woman, who smothered her face in petroleum jelly:
As for Mrs Wood, her personal hygiene was said to be dreadful as she hadn’t bathed in several years. She did, however, take care of her face; smothering her skin in petroleum jelly every day.
When lawyer Morgan O’Brien first laid eyes on her, he told Cox that it was easy to tell she had once been incredibly attractive.
“Her complexion in spite of her age, was as creamy and pink and unwrinkled as any I have ever seen. It was link tinted ivory, her profile was like a lovely cameo,” Mr O’Brien said.
Interesting note: Along with hundreds of jars of petroleum jelly, it was clear Mrs Wood had a thing for Cuban cigars and snuff from Copenhagen.
For me, it's a bidet toilet seat. I bought one that didn't really fit as well as I hoped, so now I am shopping for a v2 based on experience. I don't want to live without one going forward. That's for sure.
Right now, something that has been making me laugh happily is something I somehow missed when it originally happened, but at least for me, better late than never to discovering on my own, is this funny little rap daddy by Louis Theroux: My Money Don’t Jiggle Jiggle

People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?
I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records....
What do you use Vaseline for?
I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I’m curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.
What movie did you rewatch most often?
For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.
Hey Lemmy, what are your favorite ear worms?
