Europe's heatwave and public transportation So, I had to take a train somewhere during the heatwave in Europe last week. I'm OK with hot weather myself, but fats will smell even worse than usual in 40C. I've been on multiple farms and when I was younger I was around horses most of the time. Let's say I'm familiar with the smell of farm animals and horse shit.  Nothing prepared me however for the Zyklon Beetus that almost knocked me out when I boarded my train. Everything smelled of sweat and shit, and I mean everything. I already pay extra to travel first class, but I had to walk through what's best described as 'the smell of Satan taking a shit on a thousand rotting carcasses in hell'.  Thin privilege is paying extra to avoid being gassed by sweating fats.
