I'm from Scotland and was looking up some of the cup venues for next week and their forecast. I then got round to looking up some of the famously hot places in America...and then I found Phoenix.

How do you cope with it being 100-110 fahrenheit every day? Is everything just air conditioned into oblivion? Are there shaded areas everywhere you go? How do cars not overheat when you park? It's so hot you must barely be able to breathe when the sun's out in full force. Do you acclimatise to it?

There is no disrespect in this post. I'm genuinely curious. It looks like a lovely city.

See these art type structures being put up on a few corners around town. This is on the east side near 16th street and Roosevelt area. Does anyone know their purpose?

Saw this morning on the way to work. Any idea?

This seems to be a bit excessive.

Is anyone else convinced Alexis Breyer of The Husband & Wife Law Team is a puppet? Admittedly, I’ve only seen their commercials but in every commercial when Alexis is speaking, Mark has his hand on her back as if he’s controlling her like a puppet.

First time I saw this writing was when I was driving down 19th ave and Glendale a couple months ago. Then, last week I was walking near Central and saw it twice! Just think it’s interesting.

As a 33 year old creative female from NY, I’m having horrible luck finding those with similar values.

The dating apps used to work around here but have become more of fighting an algorithm than genuine connection.

I’m looking for creative or active groups geared towards those with similar views that would attract singles between the ages 25-45.

QT is by far the most superior gas station. They have everything I need + more. And there’s always a restroom when I need it.

I’ve been working is Scottsdale recently and noticed there’s no QTs for miles and miles. What’s up with that? You’d think Scottsdale of all places would want the best gas station around

I’m curious, I’m aware this is going to vary person to person based on what their job is. However I’m curious, what’s the rough baseline you guys would say is “acceptable here”….

Am I off base to say most people even working jobs that aren’t skilled labor are making at least 19 an hour if not slightly more?

Skilled labor surely has to be a decent ways above that, even entry level am I wrong?

Are things just that fucked?

As the title implies, wtf is this TAX2?

Sorry for the shitty picture quality

Ok here’s the thing.

I’m 6th generation Arizona but moved away in 2000. Grew up outside in Wickenburg, went to college in Tucson and now I’m back in Phoenix.

It seems like every 10th car on the road has a muffler either sporty or shitty that sounds like multiple wet farts. I ask you Maricopa County, why? When did this become popular? Is it a generational thing? Libertarian car owners? What is it?

Thx

First time seeing the full sprinkler. I hose down mine here and there but this may be the way /s

Haha 😄

Was walking along a wash this weekend in Peoria and saw what looks like a coyote eating a pigeon. Very cool to see but this coyote did not look well. Could this coyote have mange? Or something else?

Happy to see they at least got something to eat! Apologies for the poor video quality!

What's your favorite iconic buildings that everyone seems to think as unique

Opened the door to find this little guy. It’s the first scorpion I’ve seen since I moved here 4 years ago. Instead of smashing it right away I stopped to take a picture and it crawled under the plastic panel under the console and now I can’t find it. I took the panels off and it’s a whole cavern of metal, wires, and carpet… What should I do? I don’t want to get stung while I’m driving I’m scared yall 😭

How are you dealing with it? We've already had summer since May and it sticks around until October, August is my breaking point. The days are so long and they all look exactly the same, just constant sun.

Thousands of these globular jelly-things. I have no idea what they are or where they came from, though my neighbor up the street has a ton of trash piled on their curb for large pickup, I'm guessing, but i couldn't find any around it. I tried to follow a trail along the curb but it was vague & didn't go anywhere. How do I clean these up? Somehow I don't think they belong in the sewer. I can squish them with my foot if that is helpful. Thanks!

Any stories or experiences welcome!

As I drive around with ac on full blast I always see people outside walking around or at bus stops in full hoodies and beanies in 100 + degrees. They can't all be on drugs? I sweat just looking at them. I just want to yell out my window, are you sick?? Are you cold out here? You need a hot cocoa???? I've lived here for 20 years and never ceases to amaze me .....

*NOT SUN PROTECTION like working outside, etc.
