• 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.

  • 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.

      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.

      • Air conditioning is uncommon in homes in Northern Europe.

        Not only is it uncommon, our buildings are generally not set up for convenient installation of AC - window units are not compatible with our window types - nor have we put any effort into optimizing for keeping our homes cool, since the primary challenge we face is keeping our homes sufficiently hot for the vast majority of the year.

        Retrofitting all homes to cope with our new climate reality is going to be an immensely expensive endeavour.

        Swede here, in my 38 years, I have only been in one home here with AC.

        This summer me and my dad travelled down to the south of Germany to fly an airship, and to visit Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, it was over 35C just about every day and only one hotel we stayed in had AC.

        Europe does not have AC at home for the most part.

        Offices is another thing completely though.

  • Two words. Seasonal depression. You don’t get that in the summer.

  • 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

      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.

  • My stats for number of activities in cycling and running gives away my preference, but the winters gets rough in Scandinavia.

    cycling activities past year running activities past year

  • I am starting to come around on this one, winter is getting better an better. We hardly have snow any more!

  • 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!

    • The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth is like 56.

            • There’s a good reason why the world sneers at 'Murica

              It’s not that I think you don’t understand, but when the closest thing you have to humour as a nation is obnoxious trolling, it kinda makes the rest of the world hate you all the more

              And you keep giving us reasons

              • You’re not taking my silly comment on a shitpost seriously enough…You’re a real negative and hateful commentor historically. That’s a lot of weight to carry, but hey, somebody… has to?

        • Record is 56c in 1913.

          Here in Canada, we only hit 38c about 2 months ago, and its calmed down since. So tf you mean its like that now, bud?

          • Idk why you keep putting c after the numbers. You should be putting d for degrees. Canada sounds way colder than I thought.
