naw they tried to use the Diddy oil on him and he just wasn’t having it 
Can confirm that using denco-rub on the private parts is like rubbing red chillis in that area. Moral of the story - read the labels before applying anti-perspirant cream to downunder
Points for trying these things for us 
It’s unbelievable the amount of snowflakes whinging about the heat these days 
That’s the byproduct of the modern age where 90% of the population lives their lives in an Air Conditioned cocoon 24/7.
“Summers are getting hotter”…no you idiots, you have just never experienced working and living outside in the real world environment 
The memes are funny though!

You not wrong. Supposed be mid 40’s here this weekend. Wait till they start bitching when it hits 35c down in smellyAide
my problem is I’ve been working nights for the past five years after working on the road in the scorching central Qld sun so not used to going out a lot in the day.
@DocBob its funny you mention that about people living indoors/aircon not being able to tolerate the heat.
I was only telling my step son the other day,
“if you went outside in the sun more, you’d start to get used to it and it wouldn’t seem so bad after a while”
and then he went straight back to his technology in his room
fuck sake 
the next generation is fucked, for the majority… no concept of what’s outside their bedroom, they’ve got not idea what’s in their own backyard let alone the real world,
better get good at coding, kids.
Yeah, when I was a kid a few days of 35°C wasn’t a heatwave… it was just great beach weather. It wasn’t classed as a heatwave until it hit 40°C for a day or two.
I used to regularly get out on the bike and deliver mail in 45°C… it wasn’t fun but I didn’t die doing it. Just have to manage your heat stress, take lots of shade breaks and keep up the water.
Aircon’s turned us into a bunch of marshmallows.
They’ll be the generation that BUILD the matrix,
and get into it, voluntarily…!!
The drug of digital distraction…
Yes it’s nice having the creature comforts, but when it starts making a major impact on lives and future generations becoming “soft” , there’s got to be a balance somewhere.
My sister was lamenting how much she has become accustomed to AC everywhere these days and now struggles with the heat, despite the fact that she worked as a Horticulturalist her whole career outdoors in some of the hottest, hardest and dusty environments imaginable on Road Projects and Mine Rehabilitation etc.
We were sitting outside in 45⁰ heat out camping while discussing this, as she is now spending as much time away from AC as much as possible trying to get her old heat tolerance built back up 
She’s winding down the windows while driving instead of turning on the AC, doing the old open/close up the house trick instead of running the AC, getting out of the house on hot days and going bush to one of our local Rivers/Lakes/Weir/Dams to sit in the cool shade, has just purchased a Surfboard and getting back into that old hobby again… 54 yo Surfer Chick
Plenty of old habits are coming back to get her out of the house and living life again, especially with me giving her the shits about it as much as possible😁
I do look for some shade these days especially when there’s no cloud cover, the UV rays seem to iron my clothes. Usually do things early morning and break for few hours in middle of day then back into it later on and into the night if needed.
Fire risk is a thing with machinery on farms so that pulls me up sometimes.
When I was an apprentice I did a 6 month stint in the foundry over summer. As I was young I accustomed to it easily, took about a week. Electricians had ambient gauge set up on their bench in the maintenance shop. Regularly be 53c 55c. Doing break downs on the line buggered if I know but it was hotter than 55c next to the biggest furnaces in the southern hemisphere!
Had to wear full cover overalls too. Lost about 10kg. When it came time to send preferable for full time employment it sure as shit wasn’t the foundry for me! You did get paid heat money extra, it wasn’t much $20-40 a week extra iirc. Place was all right. The heat you get used to. The work and people were better in the steel wheel dept I went in to.
I find as I get older I’m becoming less tolerant to temp extremes. Looking for a 2nd jumper in winter. On clear hot days out doors the UV rays seem to be a killer.
When I was in city, hot days we’d go down the beach after work.
I used to go to the Murray every summer friends had a shack. Haven’t been for awhile, they sold it. Plus it’s getting too developed. Bloody 2 storey river shacks and poofs with their doof doof boats not real fun.
Had the same myself working on Farms, cattle yards, mining/mechanical workshop etc where 50-60 degrees definitely wasn’t uncommon.
We were getting shut down by the DPI in the Undercover cattle yards because temperatures were 70+ degrees and was “unhealthy for the welfare of the animals”, so we would have to work for 3-4 hours in those conditions to run all of the pens out into the paddocks, but nobody said that it was unhealthy for us humans to work in those conditions!
Would drink at least 5 litres of water a day, but still lose between 5-8 kg at the end of each shift.
The hot rod shop at the end of last summer had a week of over 50⁰, the rest high 40⁰’s felt much"cooler"
Mates working up north in the Kimberly/Pilbara have witnessed 60⁰ + conditions out in the vast open Ironstone Deserts,
but still have to work in those heavy clothes and safety equipment… absolute madness, but the job must go on, can’t wimp out and wait until winter!
Here’s an interesting graphic, but the temperatures honestly aren’t that high for a standard Australian Summer, and interesting that they are all here in South West Wheatbelt Australia, not up North Kimberly/Pilbara/NT/QLD

He’s been pulling the wool over our eyes!
He hasn’t been doing an apprenticeship, he’s been producing a TV Series! 
And here’s the boat, he uses to run them out to his secret island…
HMAS ‘Squiddy’s Struggling’
He used to do people smuggling OUT of victoria,
And blaster smuggling INTO vic, but Taccy’s shutdown cut off his supply…
Hence S2 of squidgames, to boost his cashflow…
Problem is, the medinchina hull, went past its 30 day warranty…
