This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.

For those of us that have to work in the heat, what are some tips? Are there any foods that help or tricks like adding a bit of salt to your water?

Drink electrolytes (like gatorade) in addition to plenty of water. Do not substitute Gatorade for water. Your body needs electrolytes but only in moderation. Shade will do more for water conservation than you realize. If you stop sweating and you are still hot, stop what you are doing immediately and go drink more water. If you are doing everything right, your piss should be clear or very light in color. If you have dark piss, go drink more water.
