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. :)

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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 1 month ago (5 children)

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

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.

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.

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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

I love winter. 6 hours of sun per day and the color gray is all I ever wanted in life.

[–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Gray his house With a gray little window And a gray corvette And everything is gray for him

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think Winter is pretty. The blowing snow, the silhouettes of trees, icicles… And the sounds are pretty cool, too. The wind, the crunchy footsteps…

I'd live in perpetual winter if I could. You can dress for the cold, but at some point the heat and humidity make it impossible to be comfortable outside regardless of your outfit.

[–] Guitarfun@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Come to Maine if you live in the US. You'll get your fill of winter really quick. A lot of people leave after their first winter here because it's too much and far too expensive to have to burn kerosine for 6 months.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I live in Canada today, and used to live in Sweden. I'm perfectly fine with winter and heating the house, dressing for it, etc. I'll compromise my stance by saying early spring is nice, but man do I hate summer heat and humidity. And don't get me started on mosquitoes and other summer bugs.

Autumn is better than both of them

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Autumn has leaves that I need to rake.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

You dont need to rake them, you want to rake them. They make nice piles to dive in if you have a lot

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have radiators. What I do not have is an air conditioner. Summer is constant suffering.

Here me out please.

Throughout most of the time humans existed we lived a migratory existence. It is only with the adoption of agriculture that staying in one place sense made sense.

Now here we are, with like 2% of our population involved with agriculture and still living that way.

We should all migrate like birds and stay in cooler climes during summer and warmer climes in the winter.

Obviously this is a huge change, but we can do it!

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You’re not fooling me, birds. I know a bird account when I see it.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 15 points 1 month ago

Yeah, nah. We weren't that migratory. Birds change continents on the regular. We might move inland or down the river a bit.

[–] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But think of the industries, how will the CEO's and shareholders buy their second yacht, if all the lowly employees got to live comfortably. The masses must suffer for the benefit of the few.

You ever been swarmed by mosquitoes in the snow? No? Case closed.

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (9 children)

There is no such thing as too cold. There is only under dressed. At least that's what the old fucks say. I like me a toasty summer but that doesn't make it any less true thst its easier to get warm when your cold than it is to get cool when your too hot.

It's not the heat that kills me. It's mostly the added humidity. (Germany)

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd rather be cold and miserable then hot and angry.

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Summer here (south of Spain) is shit. The heat is unbearable.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Truly missing the suffering I experienced there with 39°C under shadow. Eternal suffering. Having to change clothes 3 times a day.

I can't say I'm unhappy to not live in a no place with no mosquitoes because it is the worst

[–] cAUzapNEAGLb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Three negatives!

Extrapolating:

  • I can say I'm happy to not live in a place with mosquitoes
  • I can say I'm unhappy to live in a place with mosquitoes
  • I can't say I'm happy to live in a place with mosquitoes
