    Cool shower! Put water in your tub with a fan nearby.

      I’ve never gotten this to work very well. Though I didn’t do it with a fan. Any tips?

        Get in tub; get out; lie in front of the fan. It won’t cool your house, but it will keep you from dying of heat stroke.

          Ah, I thought you were using the shower as a way to cool down the air for your house. This makes way more sense.

        I’m sorry, but are you serious?

          Any tips other than the fan…

            You could try an ice dildo. I hear that a 6 incher tends to last about an hour…

        Live in a dry climate. The evaporating water will cool the house. Doesn’t work if the air is already wet
