if you ever need to take a cold shower, you can make it easier by acclimating
yourself slowly. The easiest way to do this is to spread water over successive
parts of your body with your hands - I usually start with my thighs, then
legs, then belly and butt, then chest, neck, then face. After that you should
be good to get in the water.
somehow it's less painful if it's applied by a warm hand, and yet it gets you
comfortable in the cold just the same. curious...

if you want to cool down quickly, apply cool water or ice to the inner parts
of your wrist.
the veins are closer to the surface there, and if you cool the blood pumping
to your hands and back it'll cool your heart a bit.
also, forehead and back of the neck and good options too.
however, nothing on this earth works better than putting your girlfriend's
cold toes under your arm-pits. if possible, always warm her toes.

best way to stay hydrated is to take small little sips every 15-30 minutes
rather than down a huuuuuge bottle once every 6 hours
the reason is that your body absorbs water like a sponge might. but, it's a
slow-acting sponge, and the water only stays in your blood for so long before
it's filtered by the kidneys.
meaning you're only hydrated for a short while, and then you gotta whiz
meanwhile if you take little sips often throughout the day, you'll always have
sweat to cool you down, and you'll need to pee a lot less - probably only
enough to remove materials your body can't use from your food and such. also
waste-products from your cells as they work.
which is to say you'll pee less, and it'll be less and less useful for um
"recycling" if things get dire. so... become un-piss-drinkable! you'll be
healthier anyway!

whenever I take a shower I look like a wet cat for the rest of the day. I feel
like a wet cat for the rest of 5ever though.
why must I baaaathe! don't you know I'm self cleaning? I change my underwear
at least twice a day! darn society and their darn proclivities to
ultra-sensitive noses that somehow pick up on me but somehow fail to notice
the scent of flowers still in bloom or morning showers gone too soon
not that there's any flowers blooming where I live. that'd just be silly heh
heh *sweats nervously*
damn now I have to take ANOTHER SHOWER stupid sweat glands stupid pheromones
stupid dead skin buildup (sebum I think it's called?) stupid oils that stain
clothes - AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING who decided that laundry was important
enough to wear something ONCE and then never again? it's like they expect you
to *wash* it or something. ugh I don't have time for that, I need to be weird
on the internet.

speaking as a person who uses these kind of wipes often, they can be used as a
"portable shower" in a pinch. Can you think of anyone you see around you who
might want to feel a bit cleaner, but can't afford a home with a shower?
It's also hot. If you go camping, these can help with sweat. Somehow they
always feel cool.

it's always a good idea to wear multiple layers, especially when it's decently
cold out.
make sure they're different colors. Ideally, one layer totally black, the
other completely colorful.
then if you ever need to you can strip one layer and become someone else.
They're just clothes, they grow ~~on trees~~ in stores.
speaking of stores, if you're ever going to do anything spicy, make sure you
wear that outfit exactly once, unless it's all black. Jeans are okay too since
they all usually look pretty similar.

do you ever wonder about how much heat is absorbed the plants and leaves?
Kinda makes me think that they're keeping us warm at night. The desert is much
colder than you'd expect, and so it the moon, or mars, or any other
sufficiently devastated forest habitat.
(plains are my favorite biome, please don't take them away with your stupid
climate change, they're one of the most at risk)

If you're packing for a long car ride, it's a good idea to put the things
you'll need first near the top of the bag, and the things you'll need at your
destination at the bottom.
if you don't know where you're going, well then just try and pack more of the
essentials.
for example sandwiches go at the top, because you're going to be eating them
en route.
however clean underwear should probably be near the bottom.

when you're out in the rain, it's natural to take your clothes off. but then
they rob you while you're blind (sleeping) or otherwise pre-occupied like by
being in the rain without any clothes on because it's more comfortable to keep
your clothes dry inside of doors (cabinets in the wood) (mounted to trees or
soil or walls) and then you gotta find your own (we keep them in stores)

most people are scared to respond to others because they think what they're
saying is posted on some public, immutable record of their existence.
Meanwhile I revel in that circumstance by posting about whatever I want to
talk about. I tend to assume that most people do the same, so when I saw your
post I assumed you wanted to talk about hydration, hence the in-depth nature
of my replies _^
plus I thought your joke was funny and it made me laugh out loud
