Overcorrecting

I'm sorry but this is AMAZING- ✨

Happy New Year 2024 from Korea.

Year of the 🐲🐉!

Snom!

Its come to my attention that a lot of people do not know how to deal with a hot car in summer. A lot of people will get back to their car, after hours of it being parked in the full sun, and will open the door to be blasted in the face with furnace-level temperatures, and you'll just clamber in and shut the doors and leave the windows closed and you'll start driving that thing, and you'll wait for the air-conditioning to battle and overcome the heat.

Thats. Insane to me.

The inside of a car can get up to 40°C/104°F hotter than the outside temperature. Why would anyone get inside that????? It's gonna take your air-conditioning at least half an hour to combat that and bring the temperature down to something even remotely reasonable, and in the meantime you're sitting there risking heatstroke.

Now, I understand that it's currently winter in the northern hemisphere, which is where most of this site lives, but a) I'm in the southern hemisphere and today was Lots Of Degrees, and b) y'all should read this now and commit it to memory or queue it to reblog in summer or whatever, because it boggles my mind that some of you get into a car whose interior is literally oven-hot.

So!!!! Some tips!!!!!

Get a sun visor. One of the big ones that goes inside your windshield. You will not believe how much cooler those things keep your car. Get one, use it. Leave it to bounce around in your back-seat on cooler days, but have it on hand for the stinkers. They range in price but two-dollar stores usually have them for pretty cheap.

Leave the windows of your car cracked open. It doesn't have to be much. Literally just the tiniest amount will mean that the heat building inside your car has a way to escape, meaning the interior temp will naturally be kept lower. The larger the opening, the better, but depending on the neighbourhood you're parking in, maybe it would be better to have them open just a sliver. Even the tiniest crack will help. Ever tried warming up an oven with the door open? It doesn't work well. This is the same concept. If there is a way for the hot air to escape, the inside of your car will stay a lot cooler than it otherwise would have.

If you're fancy enough to have an openable sunroof (that's the dream) then leave that open a bit as well.

Youve just gotten back to your car and opened the door, and its hot as fuck in there. Open another door, ideally on the other side of the car, and let the hot air escape. If you can open all four doors and the boot, then thats even better. A bunch of the hot air will flush out. Not all!!! But a lot. Give it anywhere from a few moments to a few minutes, depending on how much of a hurry you're in.

Get in, start the car, open all the windows. Yes, even if you hate having the windows open.

Put the air-conditioning on full blast, and make sure the recycle is turned OFF. This means it pulls fresh air from outside the car (hot, but less hot than inside) and pumps that into the car, further displacing the heat inside the vehicle.

Start driving, still with the windows down. Once you get up enough speed, the force of the air from outside coming in will blast the rest of the excess heat out of the car.

The temp inside the car will now be roughly equivalent to the temp outside the car. Still hot!!!! But MAJORLY less so, and majority more handle-able by your air-conditioner.

Put all your windows up, and switch the air-con over to recycle. This means it takes the air in the car and cools it, then spits it back into the car, meaning that with each cycle, the air gets progressively cooler a lot faster.

If you do this, your car will be a hell of a lot more comfortable a hell of a lot sooner than it would be if you got into a 60°C/140°F cabin and just.... endured that, until your aircon could overcome it.

This post has been brought to you by an Australian who knows not one but TWO people who get into 60°C cars and wait 15 to 30 minutes for their car to drop back down to a temperature that's even REMOTELY tolerable.

Very new to using Tumblr even though I had a very old account I couldn't get into. Heya.

Hopefully I can start posting what I usually do, but I'm usually doing Drawing, Sketching, Photography, Writing, Quotes, Making ideas, Making Characters or stories, and a whole other assortment of things.

If you're interested in a newbie- I guess just follow me if you do or don't want to. Up to you.

I'll start putting my own tags here so my stuff can be found without reblogs.

#aumbrictsuniwave - means related to this blog, what I post, etc

#mubit - just songs I found that I try to stay connected with.

#reblog, #just reblogging this for the creator - this should clearly explain with no explanation needed.

I get wanting to distance yourself from old inaccurate fanon but recently it feels like the fandom is just being contrarian and overcorrecting so much they create a new fanon, just in the opposite direction

Hello! This is not a question but- I feel like you should take some time to just relax and get your stuff together, I know is easy to say than do. but as long as you feel like you need to share something there might always be someone that would listen to what you want and have to say, like when you vent through posts, people will read it, and be there, and sometimes just leave you a like, but like, is good for you that you do that, it takes a little pressure off your mind when you share stuff like that, knowing that someone saw it and read of it, like listening, even if is through a screen. Idk where I'm trying to go here but I just wanted to let you know that there's your followers that do care about what you have to say and share, that's literally why they're here, Why we are here for. just please remember to take your time, if there's something you must do first before posting or working on what you want to do, do that first so then you have free time to work on what you like. And remember to take care of yourself, put your stuff together, take a deep breath, drink water, a little rest from everything. Love you, buddy.

Too much kindness I don’t deserve

It’s weird thinking people actually read my posts- i usually don’t think they do and I just put it out there for no reason. But it’s nice.

I genuinely do wish I could just share everything I’ve been through (wow very internet safe). But I’m really scared of people saying it’s unbelievable and way too much to be real. So I just put my trauma in all my characters- one traumatic experience per character each makes it believable. And the idea people will like my characters and believe the characters feels authentic enough for me ig.

But aside from that, knowing people like you care about whatever I say is validating to me. Thank you. My biggest fear is people not caring or believing me.

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
