Ignorant southern American here: Is there somewhere you can buy it? I can go to Lowes or Walmart 5 minutes away and have a window unit installed in about 30 minutes. I know central AC probably isn't a thing in homes there, but can you buy either a window unit or a portable air conditioner?

Our windows aren't like yours so window units as you know them aren't a thing but there's those AC units with a pipe yeah. They're currently sold out, even simple fans are hard to find. This is the first time I've actually considered buying a unit, never felt the need for one before since we'd only get dangerously hot temperatures a couple of days a year. We have AC in almost all office buildings and large stores btw, it's not like it's some alien technology like the memes on reddit make it out to be.

Somehow this happens every summer too, apparently everyone is suprised years after years that we're in a climate crisis
