Do you mean illegal for everyone but the US, or anyone operating under their auspices?

Dr Roberts said the idea came from a conversation with Tom Greenhill, the author of the Heatwave Toolkit website, who was thinking of âlow-cost waysâ which could stop overheating.
He added Mr Greenhill tried putting yoghurt on his own house but that it had never been tested.
For their experiment, the scientists at Loughborough University used a supermarket-brand of Greek yoghurt that has a fat percentage of about 10%.

Iâm not sure any type of inside curtain would be as effective - you would still get some heating effect from sunlight through the glass. You might be able to get good results from installing outside louvers or shutters.
To be sure, though, you should probably just brick up all the windows. That should do it.

Counterpoint: Cover the entire house in a gigantic pile of yoghurt.

Kind of a pseudo-âGreek revivalâ treatment?

Either way It seems like any other solution is more sensible than smearing food on oneâs windows. Sun screens, UV films, etc are all easy to install

In the past we had these things called âshuttersâ that were outside the window and prevented light from entering. Another lost technology.
Anyway, eating yoghurt in a heatwave can help you stay cool because digesting it doesnât raise your body temperature. At least that has been my experience.

So what happens to the yogurt after it dries? Does it mold? Disintegrate? Get eaten by bugs? The article doesnât say.

I should point, that here in NY we are provided a solar-reflective substance for our windows free of charge. I call it âfilth.â
I cleaned my windows spotlessly in April. And they already look sandblasted.

â No itâs not. Also, it was the wrong sort of mercury. Also, we took out all the mercury.
Itâs aluminium in the vaccines!!
â No itâs not. Please stop.
Itâs⌠lead in the vaccines! No, wait! Itâs the lack of lead! We didnât have all this 'tism when I was a kid, must have been all that leaded petrol and chewing the white paint chips; put lead into the vaccines now!
Also, itâs all the (throws dart at a periodic tableâŚ) ytterbium! Thereâs too much ytterbium in the vaccines!
