i see 20 year old gals bare legged in winter and wish i was that courageous with my sluttiness
Tougher than the troops!
I hate the heat so much.
You're not going to like the future then
That seems to be true on many subjects these days...

reasons #3742, #3755 and #6278 of why i hate summer.
Summer Enjoyers when they get 8th degree burns on their face after they pass out onto the concrete from heat exhaustion.
Autumn lovers >>> all other seasons
It’s barely a season though. Summer and winter are months long. Any place that actually gets something akin to autumn anymore, itonly lasts for like a few weeks. If that. There are two seasons: summer and winter. They just have barely discernible transition periods which more often than not amount to a few days of back and forth weather, from nice for a day or two, back to the previous seasons temps, then lurching forward to the next, then back and forth with some median-“season” days mixed in mid swing.

It's my favorite season, except this past year it was rarely ever cool. Winter was better this year. I feel like that's only going too become more true as we go on.
This is a silly thing to argue over because we don't get to pick seasons and have to live through the one currently on.

*Cries in tropical weather*
Even when it rains, it can still be over 30 degrees. Life is pain.

I have an in-window AC that runs on full blast at night in the summers on top of my whole-house AC. 58 degrees FTabsoluteW.
Wow Exxon loves you
For now...solar panels are going in soon, which should more than cover it

in exchange for almost never running it during the day: i turn my A/C down to like 68 F overnight and sleep like a baby.
Use anything but Fahrenheit, please!
527 °R
Ok I guess I asked for it
What spawn of Satan is R? I wish I never learned of this eldritch horror.
Freedom™ Kelvin 🦅
lol no, that's the most american thing about me and i refuse.
i literally use metric for everything else in my day job and overall life; but for temperature, Fahrenheit makes more sense to me. 100 F? deadly. 70 F? great. 50 F? chilly. 0 F? deadly.
This. Fahrenheit is by far the better temperature scale for talking about environmental temps
Lol it's not, it's just what you are used to
0-100F is a base 10 scale that has inherent advantages. It's not just "what you're used to" any more than you get used to base 10 anything, including all of the metric system. (Which should be redesigned around base 12, but that's a whole different rant).
Beyond that, I find that 1 degree Celsius is too wide of a measurement for a lot of things, especially in the kitchen. My sous vide steaks get cooked at 130F, and that tends to be +/- 1F with the accuracy of the sous vide. If I said it's at 54C +/- 1C, that's not quite right. 54C is closer to 129F, so it's almost outside the accuracy range already. Plus, that 1C of accuracy covers 2.2F, so the finish temperature could be anywhere from 126.8F to 132.2F. Way outside the range, the steak does come out different at those temperatures, and the lower end of that is potentially unsafe (though that's a complicated topic, as well).
But then if I say 54.4C +/- 0.45C, now I have to use more numbers (since numbers with zeros at the end, as in the F example, are easier to remember) with more decimal places to get to the same thing. Dropping down to milligrade or whatever is now using a prefix that's uncommon with this unit of measurement.
But then, I also want to use grams to measure everything out in the kitchen. Ounces and cups are crude for no real advantage.
Metric's ability to convert between units easily isn't particularly useful in the kitchen. Unless you're doing some molecular gastronomy shit, that is.
Purity is not a virtue. Being able to use different measurement systems in different contexts is an advantage.
0-100F is not base 10 at all, it's just what you grew up with. I grew with Celsius and I can easily feel the difference in a few degrees. TV weather people saying that the temp will be in the 80s is less useful to me than if they tell me if it will be 27°C for example
Why would you do ±1°C if the sous vide can do decimals?
Also, the recipe calls for 130°F because it was made by an American, if you look for European recipes it will probably say 54°C. Neither will add decimals to their recipes because that's just being anal
I use F in the kitchen a lot because most of my appliances work in that and also because I basically learn to cook until I moved to the US, so again, what you are used to

F makes it easy to describe how people feel, C describes how water feels.

Nah, #teamsummer here. I struggle so much in the winter. I either the blanket is too thick and I'm warm but at the cost of waking up drenched it sweat or it's too thin and I have a hard time falling asleep because it's chilly. There's just no blanket that's breathable and isolates well. In the summer I can just use a thin cotton bed sheet and sleep with the window open. Nights like this are one of my favorite things and I love falling asleep to the sound of crickets chirping outside.

learn to open your doors and windows in the nighttime (with bug nets obviously) and keep them closed during the day, nature's AC.
That works now, but from June to August the nights aren't all that much cooler and there is rarely any wind either. Still makes sense, but it feels so futile. I am Sisyphus.

I would hardly run the AC if the hottest it got in summertime in Oklahoma City was 90°F. But last year, we had several instances where it got up to 100 or 105. And the dew point was 70-75 degrees all summer. So your sweat hardly evaporates. I run my AC all day to keep it 80 degrees and swampy indoors.
I would love to redo my whole house's HVAC system where one smallish central unit cools the kitchen and living room and each of the bedrooms have their own ductless mini split. This is one way to achieve zoning. There's no reason to cool the entire house to 65 degrees if I'm about to be asleep in the bedroom for the next 8 hours. There's no reason to try to keep the whole house cool when I'm about to spend my day in my home office. Just cool the room I'm in and leave the rest alone.
I could also do window units, but for some reason, my wife is vehemently opposed to them. Her parents just put window units in all their bedrooms and one in their living room. They don't use the central unit anymore. They only cool the room they're in right now, and their power bills went from $400 to $150 in summer. They paid for themselves in one season.

I'm more of a Spring/Fall enjoyer, but I like winter too. Summer I just turn on a bunch of fans because AC is expensive AF and has a chonky carbon footprint
Me only being able to sleep while blasting the AC to the point where it's cold enough that I need a blanket: Pathetic
I'm so cold all the time. I think there's something wrong with me. I'm comfortable in the blazing heat when everyone else is complaining.
My blood pressure and heartrate are always low, so I suspect that may be related.

Autumn's really where it is at. Best season.
Opening the windows during sleep sucks in winter tho. That's the only downgrade for me
