Chicago: The Human Oven Experiment
Is Chicago Trying to Become a New Sun?
I'm not sure if someone spiked the city's water supply with chili peppers or if we've accidentally stumbled upon a portal to the surface of Venus, but Chicago has officially transformed into a giant, open-air sauna. It’s like someone decided to turn up the thermostat on Earth and Chicago just happened to be the guinea pig.
I'm starting to question if the birds are even singing anymore. Probably too busy panting.
Survival Tips for the Chicago Heatwave
- Hydrate or Die-drate: Chug water like it's your job. Or your life. Same thing, really.
- Embrace Your Inner Ice Cube: Wear as little clothing as possible without getting arrested. And by "as little clothing as possible," I mean invest in a good quality fan.
- Find a Body of Water: Lakes, pools, oceans... any body of water will do. Just make sure it's not your neighbor's kiddie pool.
- Become a Nocturnal Creature: Sleep during the day, party at night. Just watch out for those pesky mosquitoes.
The Science Behind the Suffering
Now, I'm no meteorologist, but even I know this heat is abnormal. It's like Mother Nature decided to have a personal vendetta against Chicagoans. Maybe she's still mad about the deep dish pizza.
