It’s not the heat that kills me. It’s mostly the added humidity. (Germany)
I have radiators. What I do not have is an air conditioner. Summer is constant suffering.
Any reason you don’t buy one? If summer is so hard it seems like a good investment. You can even get the portable kinds that are way easier to install.
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.

You have just proven you have never been anywhere actually cold, at least not with adequate clothing. What temperature do you suppose people just magically start freezing to death regardless of their clothing?

I’ve worked outside in -50 with a 30km/h wind, more than once. It’s not fun, but I would take that in a heartbeat to +40. I can dress for -50; at +40 there’s only so many clothes I can take off before I get arrested.
And I’ve worked in sweltering heat with high humidity and it’s a lot easier for a layman to survive the heat than the cold. You need gear and burning resouces to survive the cold. All you need with the heat is some shade and maybe a dip in the river/lake/pool. Like I said in my other comment, there’s a reason homeless flock to warm climates. It’s easier to survive.
For freedom unit fans he means Celsius . 104f
People surviving Antarctica be like:
Also…astronauts…
There is no such thing as too cold. There is only under dressed.
Which comes with extra kilograms of clothes on you. When it is getting warm and you get rid of them, it is one of the best feelings.
Summer here (south of Spain) is shit. The heat is unbearable.
Truly missing the suffering I experienced there with 39°C under shadow. Eternal suffering. Having to change clothes 3 times a day.

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. :)
Or use AC
Or remove another layer.
AC doesn’t work outdoors tho.
Of course it’s Dubai
Pools do, but that isn’t exactly realistic for people working physical labor.
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)_/¯.
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.
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.
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.
It’s impossible to survive and be productive or do anything useful in the fucking heat.
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.
Some people prefer being hot to being cold. Like me. Except for when I’m sleeping.

Ohh damn. Why didn’t I think of that? Thank you.
BRB, gonna go have a fun time.
Lie
Snuggles you
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gewoon harder fietsen dan
My layers only keep the cold inside, I suspect I might be a reptile.
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.
Same, wrists and soul are always cold.
The best part about winter, is that if you are still cold, you can always light something on fire.

laughs in Icelandic 16°C no mosquitos summer
that’s it, I’m moving to iceland
Watch out for the inbreeding tho.
Too bad about the cost of living there, but it sounds like absolute paradise outside of that.
Sometimes I wonder if I’d prefer mosquitos over swarms of lúsmý, at least they don’t bite
I can’t say I’m unhappy to not live in a no place with no mosquitoes because it is the worst
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
Fixed it
Wtf is you saying
Fixed it
Homie. I still dont understand. Why so many nos and nots.
I love winter. 6 hours of sun per day and the color gray is all I ever wanted in life.
i love winter too. here it’s ice and snow, and no sun. during summer the damn sun won’t go down at all so i can’t sleep!
This. 100000 times this.
Gray his house With a gray little window And a gray corvette And everything is gray for him
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…
Crunchy? In wet and salty sludge?
You’re mistaking winter for a christmas postcard.
Ah yes because staying inside all day because it’s too hot and humid and the grey skies from rain is amazing as well.
Come on now. Sometimes it’s in that sweet spot where it’s not hot enough to kill you but it’s hot enough to make you want to go to a place full of gritty sand, sharp rocks, obnoxious birds, and aquatic predators so you can cool down in the water which will ensure you need to consistently reapply the cancer-prevention lotion that makes it impossible to hold your drink that you desperately need to finish to stay hydrated in this nice relaxing open-air oven.
Way better than wearing a scarf. You’d have to pick out one that’s aesthetically pleasing to you, and then feel all cozy wrapping it up around your chin. Yuck. Give me kneecap sunburn any day, thank youuuuu!
I personally like summer and heat. A lot. But I realize that it’s objectively bad for most people.
OP:
You ever been swarmed by mosquitoes in the snow? No? Case closed.
I’d rather be cold and miserable then hot and angry.
Title of your sex tape?
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!
Over time, agriculture led to ownership culture, and one of the most stable investments and forms of wealth has always been land.
As long as land is a valued commodity, nomadic culture is impossible.
Yeah, nah. We weren’t that migratory. Birds change continents on the regular. We might move inland or down the river a bit.

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.
And why do you think they buy yachts? To make sure that they can migrate.
You’re not fooling me, birds. I know a bird account when I see it.
Can I just retreat to a dank cave like I normally do in the summer?
Dank
Autumn is better than both of them
Autumn has leaves that I need to rake.
You dont need to rake them, you want to rake them. They make nice piles to dive in if you have a lot
