I do feel stupid for feeling this. India is currently on fire and also flooding iirc, by contrast here in kkkanada it's not much hotter than recent years. I am lucky enough that we have a portable AC to run in the bedroom.

It's not the literal heat, our room is an ok temp honestly. But the heat seems to be breaking down my joints and bones, I feel like a decrepit corpse weighted with lead rn. This is the first time I'm feeling this too, didn't happen last year so my body is maybe decaying again.

I think it's heat exhaustion, I am making sure to drink and stuff but I just feel sluggish and sore, I am scarfing ibuprofen to little avail. Weh!

      shittily designed buildings baking in the sun will do that. Think less "building" and more "hot car"

      buildings either designed with no regard for thermals, or designed for exclusively frigid winter weather (lots of insulation, no mitigation of heating from the sun through windows, etc. because that's desirable in the winter), either can definitely result in hotter indoor than outdoor. I live in one now which is almost that bad, if it were south facing it would genuinely be hotter inside than out, its pretty bad as is and I'm fully north facing
