Many pilgrims are quite old, since some need many years to save up enough for the journey, and of course the temperature’s only going to be going up (even after La Niña).
It’s part of the rituals to get the timing exactly right, so it’s not like it can be moved to cooler months, like has been proposed for the Summer Olympics. It is moving earlier by a week and a half each year (because of the Islamic calendar) but when you’re talking 51.8C that’s not really moving the needle.
I’d heard talk of health-monitoring bracelets, which seems sensible.
I have a big idea here. Just dont go there… If you wanna die for your religious beliefs, then have fun i guess.

sigmaklimgrindset ( @sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz ) 3•7 days agoY’all are too used to self-censorship, even on Lemmy. It’s kind of sad how corporate online spaces have conditioned us…
Also I can’t figure out what “b***s” is a stand-in for? …butts?

Nightwatch Admin ( @nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl ) 1•7 days agoYeah but it’s an insult to lady dogs. I don’t give a fucking toss about those goddamn oil pumping tweezer-tosser arseholes, if that’s what you were looking for?
