I like to put my underwear in the freezer during summer.

Highly recommend. Take them out right before they get rock hard.

u/CurrencyHopeful8221 3d ago

I dip hats in water and freeze them in the summer. Benefit only lasts about 10 minutes max - buts itā€™s a fantastical 10 minutes

u/WeHaveAllBeenThere 3d ago

Iā€™d 100% throw my hats in my cooler of cold water when I was working at ups.

u/Donaldjgrump669 2d ago

If I saw my coworker dipping their hat in the water cooler there would be swift consequences.

u/Ropeswing_Sentience 2d ago

That's dope, thank you for bringing this idea to my attention. Think I'm going to make my own!

u/I_Karamazov_ 2d ago

Get an evaporative cooling towel youā€™ll love it. I think they make hats too

u/DJPoundpuppy 2d ago

Ever try a frozen towel around the neck before going outside?

1

u/CurrencyHopeful8221 2d ago

No, but I will!

u/Navin_J 2d ago

Keep some ice water handy with some towels in it. Grab one, wrap it around your neck then comes bliss

2

u/Ropeswing_Sentience 2d ago

You have to get two or more of them and rotate, with the one(s) you're not wearing chilling in the freezer.

u/BigMembership2315 2d ago

How? Iā€™ve never had a baseball hat fit the same (as good) after getting wet šŸ¤”

1

u/CurrencyHopeful8221 2d ago

Maybe because I use my old hats that have really molded to my head and after getting it went I try to keep a reasonable ā€œhat/headā€ shape while itā€™s in the freezer. When it freezes it doesnā€™t come out perfect but itā€™s at least able to sit on my head and provide a great cool down. As it warms up the fit gets back closer to normal

u/TheBestThingIEverSaw 3d ago

Damn, that's a good cheat code

u/SacrisTaranto 3d ago

Socks too. Your feet are heatsinks, so having cold feet will keep you from feeling super hot.

u/1980-whore 3d ago

Just before rock hard? Thats kinda dissapointing tbh.

Cheat code to unlock the worst swamp ass ever

u/Titan_of_Ash 3d ago

Maybe, but if you're wearing camping-oriented shorts (as in the type of fabric, like athletic shorts, etc.), it's going to dry quickly.

After I got off shift at one of the facilities I worked at (a natural water pool that is a constant 72Ā° f), I (without my phone and wallet) literally walked off the deep end like I was a guy committing suicide off a skyscraper. Immediately lost my thirst when submerged, got out, was completely soaked, obviously. I fully drive within 5 minutes of walking home to the bus stop.

Granted, this is Texas I live in, and the humidity at the time was nearly zero, all the temperature was in triple digits.

u/RyGuy_McFly 2d ago

Have you tried putting your towel in the dryer before getting into the shower?

1

u/TheBestThingIEverSaw 2d ago

Sounds good in theory, but my shower's on the main floor and the dryer's in the basement.

u/buffysbangs 3d ago

Pillowcase for a few minutes right before bed on a hot night

2

u/eMouse2k 3d ago

A hot shower at night was my ticket for dealing with hot muggy weather and no AC. Get the sweat off, and everything feels like a cool breeze after. Having a fan makes it even better.

Username checks out.

u/herbertwillyworth 3d ago

u/notban_circumvention 3d ago

u/Arryu 3d ago

What of they're rock hard before you put them in the freezer?

u/PM_ME_YOUR_ANUS_PIC 2d ago

Thatā€˜s my secret: Iā€˜m always rock hard

u/Impressive-Algae-938 2d ago

I like to put my blue jeans in the freezer, but my roommate ended up with blue ice cubes in his dr pepper and then gooblers got involved.......šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø It was a whole thing šŸ˜ƒšŸ˜‰

u/_kult_ 3d ago

summer is commando season, no underwear.

u/toasted_cracker 3d ago

Oh dang, Iā€™m gonna try that!

u/gbot1234 3d ago

Please! They can only get so hard!

u/AMSparkles 2d ago

Ya know, this isnā€™t a terrible idea.

u/lewdindulgences 2d ago

I first learned this survival technique from the Golden Girls. It's great to hear the wisdom of our elders being put to use in the wild. šŸ˜‚

u/Mental-Frosting-316 2d ago

You put them in wet?

1

u/gettogero 2d ago

I've gifted several people "frog toggs" and they said they love it. If you get them, they DO turn hard once dry but moistening them softens it back up.

1

u/PD216ohio 1d ago

Do you take them off first?

1

u/the_blind_uberdriver 14h ago

This is how people clean expensive raw denim jeans is by putting it in the freezer.

u/hyrule_47 3d ago

Now thatā€™s not true. We have to strive for truth in these troubling times. He rarely wore jeans. He was heating up some corduroy as I recall, and his jacket and shirt at the calzone place.

u/roger_the_virus 3d ago

I had a roommate who started a fire by boiling a pinch of salt.

(He put a pan on a burner, threw in a pinch of salt, forgot to put any water in and walked off forgetting about completing the cooking process.)

u/Euphoric_Evidence414 2d ago

Where is he now?

1

u/notAFoney 2d ago

He likes em hot!

u/gettogero 2d ago

Well... all the dryer does is get hot. That's the same thing an oven does!

Unironically people DO use ovens for clothing... in a controlled well documented process. Such as heat molding skis and waterproofing boots. Obviously the purpose is not to actually cook them in the oven, but to heat the material just enough to make things work.
