This and spending 80% of their lives in A/C. Add obesity or alcohol or both and not knowing when to take a break from prolonged exposure to extreme heat. We had a whole house attic fan in our home until I got to high school. Then window unit A/C in living room only. I don’t remember the heat ever being particularly uncomfortable. We were acclimated to it.
