This Is How Californians Are Dealing With Their Brutal Heat Wave

California has mistaken October for July. In the Sahara.

A cruel heat wave is smothering California right now.

#LA # Noon and already 100 out side!! How hot is it going to be at 3pm. Get me to a Pool quickly!!! #icetea

Granted this is in the sun - it's hot in the bay.

The inferno-like heat is taxing Californians to the limit:

Live tweeting myself bursting into flames. #heatwave

Walked around the corner to Trader Joe's and fried like an egg in the heat. Bought pumpkin waffles. I wish I could buy autumn.

It's so hot Superman just requested a black car from Uber! #LA #OctoberHeatWave

As a result, many are making curious life choices:

It's so hot outside I followed Nelly's advice and got arrested.

Others are raising awareness about heat-related struggles:

I hate when it gets this hot out its really uncomfortable pooping in the heat

Surviving the heat requires creativity:

Home made AC. SF why you so hot

And clothing is no longer a given:

ITS WAAAAY TOO HOT TO BE WEARING LEATHER PANTS RIGHT NOW

So hot.. I just put my work pants in the freezer after taking them out of the dryer...

In the face of the heat, technology has failed us:
