      That’s outdoors stuff (aside from fans).

      Nobody 's going outside with their blanket in the winter.

      If the post were complaining about people skiing, then that’d be a better comparison.

    You see, if it gets colder I can put on more clothes, if it gets hotter then I have to take stuff off and you can only get naked to a point before you have to start ripping your skin off and then you gotta wait for it to grow back.

    What a dumb fucking statement. The weather outside is what makes doing those things enjoyable. JFC is she that thick?

      But…you can sit under a blanket in fuzzy socks in summer and read a book and be warm. The weather doesn’t make that “more fun”. Just turn up the AC? (in the US mostly, if you don’t have ac you will probably just not wear fuzzy socks)

      The person described is an Inside person. I agree. I’d like staying inside too, doesnt matter if it’s -3°F or 98°F out.

        Why would they pay to cool down the house just to bundle up?

        The cozy vibes of the winter are the house being cold because everything is cold and then getting bundled and cozy to warm up from your body heat.

            the cozy vibes of winter

            Just like how in the spring there is a charm to watching a movie inside on a rainy day, there is a charm to being underneath your softest blanket during a ferociously cold day.

          You have to be smoking something to not want to go outside, whether it’s incredibly hot or incredibly cold?

          You could smoke with all the inside-staying you’re doing, given the conversation.

      Right?

      “You like summer so much? Go stand on a blacktop fully clothed and tell me you love it.”

      No, winter is nice for the warmness in the face of the harsh environment, enjoying the coolness on walks/etc. Summer is nice because we have respite from it in the form of a/c and shade and cool water. The hotness sucks just like the coldness. Our ability to survive in those temperatures are intrinsically linked to our enjoyment of them.

    Counterpoint: Try chilling in your living room under a heated blanket with some cozy socks on and sipping hot tea when its Summer.

      Yeah, it’s far too expensive in hot weather to get proper indoor conditions for a fire, a blanket, and hot tea – if you can manage it at all. I’m not sure if it’s just a matter of poor insulation that allows for those conditions or what, but I couldn’t properly replicate them in my house.

    When it’s too hot you aren’t always able to get cooler.

    When it’s too cold it is always possible to get warmer. If only in a small way.

    In the middle of winter you can put on another layer, wear fuzzy socks, drink a nice warm drink, hell even just blow into your hands. But in the middle of summer sometimes you just have to suffer.

    I fucking love winter and no one can take that from me

      Assuming we’re talking about outdoors, that’s not the case for me in my area. There’s only so much layers can do. You have to limit exposure. Plus all those layers can be a chore. By comparison, while summer heat can be uncomfortable, it’s rarely deadly and far easier to stay safe.

        I beg to differ. I’ve literally lived outside in < -30C, over time, without much more equipment than my clothes, a hammock, and a gas burner to boil water.

        You have a limit to exposure, of course, but it’s not a limit you can’t comfortably overcome with relatively simple equipment (read: layers).

      This is very dependent on where you live, and to an extent how rich you are. If you live somewhere where it occasionally gets a bit hot but it often gets so cold you need to spend a lot on heating then you probably prefer summer. Vice versa for somewhere so hot you need to pay for air conditioning.

        Or live in northern europe where it can be -30C in the winter and +30C in summer. Still prefer winter, -30 is fine with enough layers, +30 is fucking miserable.

    i like winter specifically because i get to wear winter clothing which is such a vibe, people need to learn to dress better.

    tight-fitting wool underclothes, fluffy middle layers, and a cloak on top to block wind. cozy as fuck and you barely notice the low temperature and you don’t get sweaty either.
