    I will never understand people who WANT to be cold. I’d rather be a sweatball than a little chilly. When I see one of these it usually get immediately turned off, because yeah, they do some fucking work.

    edit: Apparently people who like to be cold are really sensitive about not being understood. 😂

      Because I can’t take off my skin but I can put on more clothes/blankets. As a human nuclear furnace, I sweat and get uncomfortable as rooms start going over 70f. It’s miserable.

        Calculates weird units to celsius…

        What the f-

        Okay. I tend to, in winter, live in ~60f. When temperature hits and stays at 70, I am moving onto the floor (ground level so cellar cools down the floors a bit)

        Edit: Although I just got reminded about a coworker I knew that in winter, where we had around 5f outside, cranked his home heat to 82f. Straight up horror story for me xD

      I don’t want to be cold. I want to be comfortable. I want to not sweat. And for that to happen, I need the room to be cold.

        because you are wrapped up burrito style like in the womb I guess. and most human heat exchange happens through the head (I read somewhere).

        Maybe it’s Placebo but I definitely get much better quality of sleep in the winter time. I keep my room very cold and I have some nice big heavy blankets to keep me warm in the bed. And winter is by far the time of year that I regularly wake up feeling refreshed and not groggy

      Well I don’t want to be cold, but I crank the AC and snuggle up under the covers. It’s a treat somehow.
