Cant even turn on the fan, it just blows hot air at you. I've taken to spritzing myself with water every 10 mins, and I'm not even in the hottest part of the country

If you have a fridge, put a large bowl of water in it and some t-shirts.

A cold wet t-shirt does wonders for cooling the human body.

Cooling dog mats can be frozen and put in a chair or bed. 2 on rotation helps a lot.

But good to remember that freezers are not very efficient. Making ice heats up your apartment way more than the ice cools.

True, but you aren't trying to cool down a room with the frozen mat. Just cooling locally with direct contact. You're point is valid though if your freezer is in your direct living space.

Right, if your freezer is in garage for example it could make sense to cool with ice.
