    Winter too cold: Oh no, I guess I’ll put on some fuzzy socks and drink some chamomile tea

    Summer too hot: Guess I’ll go to the fuckin ER for heat stroke

      So very true. Dressing for cold is so much easier than heat it’s mindboggling to read some of these summer fan comments. Like, do you guys actually live on the same planet as I do? Cause this one sucks the minute temperatures go past 20c.

        Some folks just tolerate extreme temps differently. I am nearly impervious to heat, but begin hating life below 10C.

          It really depends on the climate you’re used to living in, the winters here are in the -20c range and yesterday it was 41c. I’m basically happy as long as it doesn’t get within 10c of the extremes.

      You ever looked at a stock image search of “Arab guy in desert” and wondered why they are wearing all that clothing?

        It’s pretty easily explained and you can find reasons and anecdotes on YouTube, etc! Garments can do an effective job of keeping solar radiation off of you and regulate temperature! Obviously, culture and religion play a part as well

          Yeah I was hinting at that lmao. “Getting naked isn’t the only or the best option for summer.”
