What do you like about summers?
xylol@leminal.space 3 weeks ago
Sitting on a patio drinking beers
NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Seeing the sun, not having the air be so cold that any exposed skin hurts, air that isn’t so dry I feel like I’m suffocating, grocery runs not feeling like a trek through the Antarctic
dismay3915@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No flu, no sickness (maybe once), no runny nose, no stiff joints, wanting to actually do stuff, having more productive time to do stuff, being able to go into nature and hang out all the time.
Winters are absolutely depressing and miserable.
5in1k@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Camping, swimming, boating, fishing, sunshine, green plants, gardens, dry feet, not having to bundle up.
fosho@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Sunshine on my face and skin. This contributes MASSIVELY to my mental health. Where I live winter is a constant claustrophobic grey.
hOrni@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Two words. Seasonal depression. You don’t get that in the summer.
rockerface@lemmy.cafe 3 weeks ago
If you don’t have an AC, you very much do
NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
The sunlight makes up for it. Having like 6 hours of real sunlight fucking sucks. I also hate having to put on like six layers to take out the garbage without having the air hurt my skin
Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 weeks ago
You don’t get that in the summer.
I get it only in summer
wookiepedia@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Come live in the hellscape of Texas. You cannot go outside from late may until mid October. It was 103F+ from mid July until 3 days ago. I paid almost $700 for my electric bill last month. The house is stale and hasn’t had fresh air in months. I have a huge list of projects that I very much want to make progress on, but ten minutes outside takes me multiple hours to recover from. The temperature in the parking lot in front of the grocery store was above 120F a few days ago.
Seasonal depression occurs in the cursed summer here. As soon as my family members pass on, I will never return to this god forsaken, scorched wasteland.
5in1k@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Texas is its own Hell any season.

Well then I invite You to Poland, where besides 3 months of summer everything is gray, cold and damp. The grass is always greener I guess.
CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I am thoroughly depressed all summer. The first cooler, shorter day I’m like a happy new person. I’m a redhead and can easily get sick being in the sun. Fuck summer, bring on the cooler, shorter, stormier days and I’m all in for snowball fights, sledding, soups, sweaters, cozy fires, and a good scotch.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s not one thing, it’s multiple things together.
Cold is okay alone, but add wind and/or rain and cold sucks.
Heat is okay without humidity, and as long as it still gets cool at night for a break. Heat with wind and/or rain is okay, but heat with wind and dust sucks. Dust always sucks.

I can always wear more.
I can never wear less than my skin amd be miserable.myyass@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I have and I’ll take it, please give me some of your cold weather. There’s only so much you can do when it becomes 110 outside. The AC is on permanently to keep it at 85.
PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere
Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 weeks ago
I can put on 3 layers of clothes but i cannot take off my skin to get cooler
It’s also easier to add heat in a room than to remove it in my exp
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
“Can only get so naked” is my go to also
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
There is another layer.
That one is a bit scarring though.
hansolo@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
This is only how a cold weather person thinks about heat. That’s not how real life works.
One light layer of linen is amazing. Your body does the work on its own. Touregs in the Sahara wear a light layer of light fabric. Look at Saudis and the traditional outfit. Italy in the summer. All similar. All perfectly comfortable.

When its 0°K and some mf says winter is better than summer.
Coolcoder360@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
At least then it’s still OK.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I can always put on another layer. I can only get so naked.
JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Don’t have to shovel heat.
Statick@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
Don’t have to mow, rake, weed whack, or trim the cold
ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s because everything is dead and brown. I’ll take the yard work in the heat for the green.
BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
We’ve had those temps, and sweating all day with AC unit running sucks. I’d much rather put on a sweater if I feel chilly in the Winter.
PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It doesn’t typically snow enough to shovel where I live
9point6@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Autumn and spring are better than both. Both of the extremes are getting less fun every year.
I don’t like it when it’s so hot I want to take off my skin
I also don’t like it when it’s so cold I have to somehow instantly magic another 4 layers on/off me when walking through a door to not freeze/sweat to death.
Give me comfortable 2 layer weather where I can wear the same thing indoors and outdoors and feel fine
VeganBtw@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Yes, and if there was a way to magically make seasonal allergies go away for good, I’d get a couple more months of comfort every year.

CalypsoGirl@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
I wish USA would go metric so I could instinctively understand what 45⁰C is without consulting a conversion calculator. I’m guessing 45⁰C is 90-100F? BRB lemme verify …
jayands@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What I did, was I just switched my phone’s weather app to Celsius and spent a year walking outside to work. It rewires your sense of temperature.
CalypsoGirl@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
That sounds like a great idea! Then I remembered the reality of how I use my weather app. I use it when I’m too lazy to go outside to check the temperature IRL 😂
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 weeks ago
Nah, Ive lived a couple of years in places that use C but that is nowhere near long enough to fully rewire your brain. I’ll be thinking in F til I die
BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
the rest of the world should change
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 3 weeks ago
Nah, we can adopt metric but I’ll never quit using Fahrenheit.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah, F is just more accurate. I know you can use decimals, but I never see anyone post C temps as 20.2. It’s 20 or it’s 21, which is anywhere from 68-69.8F, expressed as 70. We’ve got a whole extra degree in there!
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
45°C = humid (+40) hot desert-like climate (for middle europe)
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Technically people should hate me most cause i offend everyone. I like very continental climates so both hot summers and cold winters, i just like seeing the seasons and the smell in the air change, having a dip in a cold lake or sea during summer, having the perfect weather for outdoor activites during fall, being able to ski, build snowmen, chill inside during winter, etc. I know i have bias cause i was born somewhere where the climate is like this but i just love it. Everyone has their preferences.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
You can put on more clothes to mitigate a cold winter, but can you put off more clothes in summer when you are already bare naked? No… Winter wins!
Shanmugha@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I am still on summer side. But if one happens to want to die and chooses between heat and cold, then cold is the better option
imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Until its -45C in winter. Then you change your opinion at an instant.
SingularEye@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
summer is better than winter
pyre@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
you can put on more layers in winter, but you can’t get more naked in summer
danekrae@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
My stats for number of activities in cycling and running gives away my preference, but the winters gets rough in Scandinavia.
Ashiette@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Summer is better than winter.
Tiral@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
In the Midwest we go from -40 to 110. They both blow, but snow is the deciding factor for me.
Ashiette@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s really funny because it’s the same for me : snow is the absolute thing I would gladly never see again and wouldn’t miss it, even for a second. But I have to agree that 45°C is hell, as is -20°C.
34°C (94F) is the perfect temperature. Acceptable upper limit would be 38°C (100F), above that it’s hot. Acceptable lower limit is 25°C (77F), below that it’s cold
remon@ani.social 3 weeks ago
I am starting to come around on this one, winter is getting better an better. We hardly have snow any more!
CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
In an ideal world 65F or 18C would be a once in an absolutely never heatwave.

on the shitpost meter, you score 50%
nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
What?
Artemis_Mystique@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
i went on a crusade ranking shitposts on how much a shitpost it truly was using my proprietary grading methodelogy, a score of 50% indicates the post qualifies as a meme, but does not have any recognisable identifiers of a shitpost
Jaycifer@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
It’s finally been getting down to the 60s F (16-21 C) here in Minnesota and I can take walks without sweating the whole way through. I’m a little disappointed to have heard we may have a mild winter this year.
Etterra@discuss.online 2 weeks ago
Oh yeah? Cool, now turn off your air conditioning. Also RIP 6 out all your window screens. REALLY let the summer inside.

It’s this guy, and it’s just that i found a few memes with his face, so I have been posting it
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I love the Indian representation :) also nutbutter is cool cuz they like Twin Peaks too :)
RBWells@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I just really hate cold weather and short days. My body is better at staying cool than warm. When you ask people what they like about winter they always say sweaters and fires, being warm. I like doing that without gear.
Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Idk 45 seems pretty chilly
twinnie@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth is like 56.
tomi000@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Dont engage. Chippy is a well known ragebaiter
Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Nah, its hotter than that rn bud.
save_the_humans@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
For runners, the difference between 60F and 100F (~15.5 - 37.8 C) is about 2 minutes per mile at the same effort. That’s a huge difference. Humidity makes it worse because your body’s main method for cooling itself doesn’t work, but sweating, comfort, and preference aside, its literally harder to do anything in the heat.
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 3 weeks ago
I love camping in the snow. I hate camping in the heat.

If it gets too cold I can bundle up. If it gets too hot theres only so many clothes I can take off before that bitch Brenda goes to H.R.
AyuTsukasa@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
See, my problem is that being too hot is just uncomfortable to me but being too cold is physically painful no matter how many layers I put on.
nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
You need better layers then. If it’s your face that’s a problem get a good scarf and angle it so your breath blows back up over your nose and cheeks.
I’ve been out and comfortable in -20°F, but much below that and it get tricky without goggles, and boot and glove warmers.
StillAlive@piefed.world 3 weeks ago
Fuck Brenda.

I have touch sensitivity, so I don’t like to bundle up. I’d rather just work naked from home.
