Why the French are painting their windows with chalk to beat the heat
Seems like the headline answered its own question
We haven’t invented blinds yet, that’s how backwards we are apparently
As someone who has seen hot climes before, I feel like a bunch of us should go to Europe and, y’know. Explain.
Shade=good!
Ice=good!
Underground=good!
White cars=good!
Sunglasses= well, you got this oneCongrats, top belligerent comment of the week.
I’m just saying, tips ‘n tricks can be handy. Like how to cool a hot car fast.
But you’re not allowed to see it.
Sunglasses= well, you got this one
The French make sunglasses look good.
I’ll never be as cool as this guy.
For sure
Nah if you don’t hate poor people you are, in fact, cooler than this guy
Chalk’s not paint…
If you mix crushed chalk with water, it becomes paint-like and can be painted onto things. Which is what they are doing.
Stucco on the window
Would be a decent band name.
No, but paint can be chalky.
I haven’t seen this yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me because I had the same idea. People are trying everything because every shop is sold out of fans and mobile AC units, and the mylar film stuff. Crazy. Even spray bottles.
The French: say non to anglicisms: it’s not “e-mail”, it’s «courriel», and you don’t “download”, you «télécharger».
also the French: what do we call painting roofs white to reflect heat? How about «le cool roofing»
Le wifi
You’re thinking of Québec, they’re the ones with the strict translation policy which leads them to use direct expressions borrowed from English which sound weird to the French, they are much more used to just integrating the English word.
«Courriel» is an Académie Française coinage, IIRC
Could very well be, but it’s not used in informal language, everyone says email. Maybe in government letters or so. The Canadians do though, as well as arrêt instead of stop signs, fin de semaine instead of weekend, etc.
No we’re not.
We’re really not.
You’re getting left behind then. Come on, get on with it!
Yes you are. BBC says it so it has to be true. You just probably don’t remember doing it and can’t see it on the windows.
Did you came here for the 5 minute argument or the 30 minutes one?
fine. i’ll go watch that skit again. ❤️
I came here for the orgy. When does it start again???
Oh, that’s over there, second door to the right.
An argument’s not just saying, “no we’re not”!
Yes it is
Oh I’ve had enough of this
No you haven’t
