You are wrong and i prefer the outdoors being remotely habitable.

Even at like -40, theres gear to make it tolerable. At 100f/40c, it's just an oven, and even survivors will need shower+salt

    It's hot & humid here in the subtropics but even so I love this season the most. I was born here and grew up without AC so adapted I guess. Being still in the shade with a breeze I am comfortable up to a pretty high temp but here the summer has afternoon storms that cool it a little so the evening, while hot, is usually 25-27 not 40.

    Our indoor AC is set to 26. That feels cool enough in the summer, so evening is comfortable.

    I cannot get comfortable in the cold, no amount of clothing seems to work, I just don't generate that much heat.

    Riding home on the bike is MUCH safer in the daylight too.

    Coward! More seriously; solvable by making car use dangerous.

    40

    40 is a lot, but thats kind of the upper limit. Lot of places get hotter than that now.

    not endothermic

    Oh, cool toy time! get chemical warmers, battery warmer, etc. They exist and are simple.

    1. You can adapt to high temps. Drink water and consume enough electrolytes, and your body will learn to be more adept at keeping itself cool. Meanwhile, your brain will get used to high temps. The problem is that you are avoiding the heat, which means your body never adapts.

    2. For heavy exercise, simply do it earlier or later in the day when temps are cooler. Warmer regions developed the siesta for a reason.

    3. If you really hate it so much, move.

    You can ada0t to medium high temps. You can survive 90f, even 100f.

    You cannot adapt to 115f. You go inside, or you die.

    hate it so much, move

    Okay so you don't understand that youre talking to anither human and just think disagreement is a kind of attack.

    No. I think that moving is an underutilized option. If you live in Alaska but hate the cold, move. If you live in Alabama but hate gun nuts, move. If you live in Briton and hate... being miserable as a lifestyle, then move!

    Like, there are all sorts of ways to mitigate unhappiness. But at the end of the day, if something intrinsic to the place you live is really making you unhappy, then there is an obvious answer.

    The time doesn’t affect the weather. It’s still going to be hot or cold out for the exact same length of time. Time zone changes only affect whether you’re working or playing at those times. I’d rather have the option than be forced to be working when the sun is out.

    Living by our kinda-bullshit abstractions we made to describe reality and avoid deeper understanding as if that were material reality, in defiance of material reality.

    You live in a waking lie, you drown in a sea of bullshit, you propagate a cognitive disease. Please stop.
