What's your Dad Score?
I've never been in this community before, but it seems very wholesome - thank you all for helping others <3
some of the above jokes are a bit meh, but i got intrigued by one specific thing, specifically the "heating the whole neighbourhood" thing when a door is left open. i've never asked my parents about energy bills (they are very chill otherwise!) and now i'm wondering.
how come the thermostate is a big thing? Is it primarily costs as mentioned, or are there other things in terms of comfort? Does it depend on the climate?
i'm aware of the energy crises, but even outside of those, you'd hear that kind of remarks. i pay like $100/mo for energy, so idk if it's just me.
