Is it hot out there, or is it just me?

I know that summer is the hottest season, I've lived through 36 of them to know that much. But every year, I'm surprised by simply how hot it gets outside. It feels like I could cook an egg on the sidewalk, and in some places, that's not even an exaggeration. Seriously, how did people survive before air conditioning? It's like walking through the Sahara Desert daily on my way to work, and even the thought of it makes me want to call in "sick" and stay home with my cats. To be fair, though, I want to do that even when it's not boiling hot outside.

There are some things I simply can't do when I'm too hot, like running, sightseeing, or literally anything outside. I'm too uncomfortable and sweaty to enjoy myself, so I stick to staying inside where it's nice and cool. You know what is a great activity to do indoors? Scrolling through some refreshing feline funnies. You know what's even better than that? Scrolling through some funny felines while petting my cat, on my couch, in front of the AC. Ahhhhh, that's better.

When the sizzling summer heat has fully melted your last brain cell, cat memes are the only place left to go. You can scroll through them while sitting down, while rotating like a rotisserie chicken in front of the air conditioning for maximum chill, or lying on your bathroom tiles to feel their natural coolness seep into your overheated body. If you must go outside, you had better at least cool yourself down with these frigid felines and their silliness before your life becomes a literal sauna.

But if I were you, I'd stay inside and scroll a little longer.
