I would assume that they are not used to the hot temperatures at all and simply have to cope with it. They have probably been given a "hot temperature education" (every conscipt does as part of their education) but on a deeper level to know what measures to take to ensure you don't get hurt in the heat.

You don't necessarily have to be in actual combat for humor to be beneficial. I remember when I was a conscript in the Swedish military we joked around a lot just to help us get through the tough times. There was no enemy, we knew that. But it was still tough and we used humor (partly) to cope with that. That was like a more mild version of this.

Sure, and that’s definitely true. And I think that exists in some shape or form in all sorts of trying circumstances. Trauma just has a way of bringing out a super dark side of humor that I think in one way or another is probably a way to cope.

Our hottest days here are around 27°C so Weare nowhere near the heat of Mali.

[@rayceofhistory]

We’re opposite here. I would struggle in a big way getting used to real cold, 40-42 C would feel much more natural to me. But it would take me forever to get used to actual cold weather.

@@rayceofhistory 40c ?! Goddamn, I melt at 27+ and above. Our houses are made to trap heat tho..

[@rayceofhistory]

@@viikmaqic yes, that’s much more common than the extreme cold. I’ve also realized apparently air conditioning units in housing isn’t as common in Europe, which would absolutely not be possible down here. It’s 39 here today. If the house wasn’t cool I’m not sure what I would do.

@@rayceofhistory In the last 10 years its gotten alot warmer here in sweden. So I had to invest in a AC unit when i woke up and the bed was drenched in sweat. It was 30c outside haha
