If you're cold in winter you can always put on another layer.

If you're hot in summer, eventually all you can do is suffer. :)

It feels like we have to keep screaming this at peoples faces for them to understand.

It's impossible to survive and be productive or do anything useful in the fucking heat.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Some people prefer being hot to being cold. Like me. Except for when I'm sleeping.

[–] saruwatarikooji@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Same here except I can sleep well enough up to around 90 degrees. Above that and I will need a fan.

barefoot & shirtless == unproductive/no-expectations-from-me and i wouldn't have it any other way. lol

Everyone who lives anywhere near the equator, most farmers, Australians, and the entire African continent might take exception to that claim. You can say you prefer the cold all you like, and that's fine, but this sound like a you problem.

Just cleared a baseball infield 2 days in a row in 98-degree heat with jeans on. You will never catch me out there in winter. Scream all you want, I hate the cold and am fine with the heat.

My layers only keep the cold inside, I suspect I might be a reptile.

The best part about winter, is that if you are still cold, you can always light something on fire.

[–] SeekPie@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Instructions unclear, M&M's container on fire around cylinder.

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 9 points 4 months ago

It's so hot you've switched to the fireman's technique. Heat jacket to keep radiating heat from the outside environment from getting in.

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Same, wrists and soul are always cold.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 15 points 4 months ago

Also it’s trivial to turn matter or electricity into heat, but you can’t go the other way. Best you can do is move the heat from inside to outside, and make it everyone else’s problem.

In Holland we have 99% humidity all winter with temperatures right around freezing and no matter how many layers you add the cold wet air seeps in and chills you to the bone.

[–] Kallioapina@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I see you have not experienced -30C going on and and on for weeks on end. I promise you, the little wet chills are better. Especially when its windy, though I imagine you dutch know all about that nastyness.

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've experienced -50c where I live, it's typically only for a few days per winter but those days are absolutely terrible. It literally hurts to breathe when you're outside and you can feel your nose freezing up, and your eyelashes freeze shut if you blink too long or too much.

Even a quick 5 minute walk is excruciating. It's always a good reminder of my mortality to be outside in that weather, being locked out of warmth would be a quick death sentence.

[–] Kallioapina@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Yep, we do get those occasional -40C days every few winters. You put it well, it's a good reminder ones mortality and that we really shouldnt have left the savanna, to be totally honest.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Gewoon harder fietsen dan

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This cliche has always landed flat for me. Always cold or uncomfortable in the winter with a dozen layers, and don't suffer in the heat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

[–] DeviantOvary@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Right? No matter what I wear, I'll inevitably start freezing/being cold, especially my feet which I can't just put extra layers on. Add to that eyes watering intensely in the cold, windy weather, plus runny nose, so can't wear anything over it for any extended time, lest I bathe my face in snot. No, thank you. Give me summer and a fan.
