    I think the only reason we can keep running in hot weather (better than other animals) is because we’re resourceful enough to carry water

      Actually it’s because we have sweat glands all over our bodies, which I think is unique among animals. Dog, for example, can only dump excess heat by heavier panting, whereas humans will just sweat more.

      Some of us have more and more puissant sweat glands than others.

        You just taught me a new word! Puissant!

        The word was so fun I decided to make a new community where people can share fun words they just learned. Thank you!

            Haha, sorry! I didn’t share because as of now there is only the one post (about this word). Plus, I’m honestly unsure the best way to link a community so people can easily access it.

            That said, it is ILearnedAWord

            for people who just learned a neat word and might want to share it. Truthfully, I don’t super expect it to grow to be more than just me posting in there, but I think it would be a fun way to keep track of fun words I learn and a better way to learn words than a word of the day calendar. The lack of seeing words in use on those drives me nuts, cause the sample sentences are usually boring af.
