Hey, thanks for expounding on Pedialite! Didn’t know there was a specific name for it. Im going to tuck that nugget of information away to forget about it the next time I recommend it.
Some tips from someone who is used to daily 40C+ temps.
-There is a drink called Pedialite, usually found in the baby foods section (in America). See if there’s something similar, it’s like sports drinks but better. Keep yourself hydrated. In heat like that, you won’t realize how bad it is until you’re already dead. They also have popsicles, which is honestly so refreshing if you’re going to be in the heat.
Do your best to keep your skin covered. Swamp ass, egh I get it. But skin cancer and 3rd degree burns are worse.
-Wear gloves if your car sits out in the sun all day. You *will * get 3rd degree burns trying to get into your car and/or trying to put your seatbelt on.
Drink abnormal amounts of water.
-Learn the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Teach your friends, family, coworkers.
And again, stayhydrated. The majority of heat related deaths occur because they didn’t drink enough water.
These numbers have been thrown around since the beginning of the protest. I don’t believe Reddit actually publishes that data (someone can come and correct me if wrong).
I think what happened is someone did the math on downloads for all the 3PA (or maybe just just major ones) and compared it to active users.
Fact is, no one knows just how many users used 3PA vs the official app except for reddit. Me thinks because the data doesn’t look good for them, otherwise why not back up all that boasting with numbers.
You know it’s bad when you can pinpoint the exact scene and episode this line belongs to.
