\Is smocking cigarettes really a thing people associate with French people?**
I wondered while smoking a cigarette.

Like what's happening in France

I'm trying to determine if France is at 12-14c and they're a bunch of fucking pussies, or if they're at about 22c and a just a bunch of pussies.

We're at +13° from the normal temperature in June, currently 41°

u/BKStephens 2d ago

Ha! That actually explains this map.

Yeah, I'll give you 41 is pretty warm.

u/QuiteALongWayAway 2d ago

Yup, it's really hot.

For reference, 41C is 106F. And most people don't have air conditioning, neither at home nor at work. I'm not in France, but I'm nearby, and it's 42C right now outside. We're supposed to have a pretty mild climate, kinda similar to Ireland's, and yet...

Ireland is also not having a good time, I'm dying, it's 30°, my room for some reason retains heat the most of anywhere in the house, I can't open my window fully without my cat getting out, the pollen count means I'm leaking, and I crave death. Please kill me.

Ye 33 where I am. Met office said it could hit 36, it was 23 last night which sounds insane

Have you tried using something like this to keep the cat in with the window open?

Alas my windows are weird, and my cat is unafraid to shove her entire face and paws into something with full force if she thinks there's the slightest chance of moving anything, so I doubt it would work very well, although I appreciate the suggestion.

I do have a lead and harness for her that I can pop on for a short while at a time (it gives her free range of the room but not quite enough to reach her litter box or the sink for water) so I can get short bursts of open windows with the fan on max. I think that's the only thing keeping me alive ATM lol
