How did people grow up in the south without air conditioning?

My brother in law told me he grew up in breaux bridge without ac and said that’s all they knew and sat on the front porch. I just can’t fathom that.

they weren't conditioned to require it, so it probs wasn't too bad

Walking outside today is like being wrapped in a hot and wet towel.

Houses had lots of ventilation, and people weren't so pussified.

Turn to drugs, sex or fighting to take your mind off of it till night.

Yep, and houses and buildings were built to move more air through them.
They were definitely still pretty miserable on really hot days, but they didn't know what an AC cooled house felt like.

The attic fan, brother! Of course it only pulled in hot air till about 9pm.

Humans can adapt to their environment.
People are sitting in offices all day with the AC on 72 degrees, then go outside and can't handle it.

Loved sleeping by the window with the attic fan on. I cooled down a bit at night where I grew up but hot as frick during the day.

It was at least 20 degrees cooler before AC existed

Rare to find in modern homes, but a nice addition in the cool months.

Middle school and high school didn't have AC. It sucked, no two ways around it.
