I heard there's 104 days of summer vacation, til school comes along just to end it.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 6 points 6 days ago

more like 104° days until summer ends

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's a lot of days. It's hard for us all to find a good way to spend it.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't understand this, if I didn't have to work for >100 days, I'd have a blast! Our summer break starts a bit earlier than most places (end of May) and school starts a bit earlier than many places (middle of August), and we have already visited the pool multiple times, visited family across the country, done some hikes, and done some bike rides. The rest of the summer is busy as well, with visiting the other side of the family next month, celebrating Independence Day (I'm in the US), and doing some camping trips.

If you can't fill 3-ish months of free time, that's on you. I, for one, am going to make sure I and my kids enjoy it.

It's the Phineas and Ferb theme song. They also have lots of great ideas for filling the time. Sounds like you're rocking it!

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s all situational. If it’s hot and humid but I’m near a beach, fuck yes, summer rules. If it’s hot and humid and I’m in a big city, dear lord help me, summer sucks.

Also, I live in the north, so my options are:

  • winter - frigid weather where the roads are an ice rink
  • spring - fluctuates between cold (random snow storm) and hot, like a woman going through menopause (i.e. one day nearly 100F, the next day there's snow)
  • summer - pretty consistently hot
  • fall - random storms, school starting (I have kids), and an intro to the aforementioned ice-rink

So yeah, summer is pretty decent, given the other options.

False

All 4 seasons are the worst season

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

4 seasons

Lol, what year is it, 2005?

You will have two seasons and you will like it!

Hey, we have four:

  • winter - random snow storms
  • spring - mixed snow and 100F weather
  • summer - 100F all summer long
  • fall - crazy wind storms, w/ occasional snow storms

They're all more extreme versions of what we had in 2005.

As someone who loves hotter days, hard disagree.

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

The fame came from a time where the winters were harsh and summers more bland. We are at the tail end of a mini ice age, now the tendency is to winters been suave and summers become hotter. And, with global warming, things are accelerated.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You'd have to go back to the 19th century for those non-fossil carbon dioxide variations to matter.

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

The notion of nice summers is way older than that, probably.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

What does PR stand for in this instance?

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Public relations.

[–] Puddinghelmet@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It'll only get hotter and more days in the year will reach these temperature so get used to it

[–] Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

I like heat under my own circumstances, summer is definitely not one of them

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Fully agree

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 82 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Winter too cold: Oh no, I guess I’ll put on some fuzzy socks and drink some chamomile tea

Summer too hot: Guess I’ll go to the fuckin ER for heat stroke

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

So very true. Dressing for cold is so much easier than heat it's mindboggling to read some of these summer fan comments. Like, do you guys actually live on the same planet as I do? Cause this one sucks the minute temperatures go past 20c.

It didn't used to be as bad as it is today a short while ago. It will continue to be worser for the rest of our lives.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I hate bugs. I hate everything being full of bugs and flies and the trash cans outside stink like poop in the heat. I hate having bug babies everywhere. I hate having a deadly lazer above me so that I can only choose between burning myself alive, wearing disgusting cream, or covering up like crazy and sweating even more. All the food goes bad instantly. The food in the supermarket is infested with flies. I wake up at 4 am because stupid Altbau doesn't allow for proper outside blinds. I hate that it's either fucking up the environment even more by using AC or heat stroke. I also hate overdone AC in buildings that gives me a cold. Have you ever had a feverish cold during summertime? It's awful. And makeup, you cannot do makeup in the heat without it becoming a smudge of sunscreen, color, oil and sweat. Have I mentioned the bugs and caterpillars and maggots and larvae and everything, everything is alive? And then, when it rains and everything cools down for a bit, you get earthworms.

You know what's amazing? Cold ass dry snowy winter days. Bug free heaven.

I love the cold, clear, still winter nights when there's so many stars you think you're seeing things, and it's so quiet you can hear the owls fly by.

Winter you can add layers.

Summer, there's only so many layers you can remove before somebody calls the cops

Hot weather is a lot more comfortable than cold weather to me tbh

I agree, but at the same time, I wouldn't give up having the contrast between seasons for anything. You need that 92 degrees with 80% humidity to really appreciate the cool down after a thunderstorm. And my absolute favorite time of year is that first chilly week in September that let's you know the heat is behind you--but the frigid cold is on the way.

All things in balance and moderation...

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah, I'd argue the real problem is that each season is too damn long. Cut them in half and I won't have time to get bored with them.

Completely disagree. Summer is my favorite season and would remain so in the complete absence of PR.

This post reminds me of a friend in the ad business who told me people only think iced drinks taste better because in the early 1900s some advertising genius created a campaign to convince people of that. No, sorry, cold drinks are more refreshing. The ancient Romans thought so too, and used to haul ice down from the Alps, centuries before the advertising industry even existed.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

There's a difference between refreshing and better tasting though. Hell, all the beer companies in america know that, which is why you get things like the coors campaign of the mountains changing color if the beer can is cold enough, because cold suppresses your ability to taste. They know they taste like shit but because they're so cold they are 'refreshing.'

It depends on where you are. Seattle summers are amazing (shhhh, don't tell anyone).

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Me in Seattle right now: it's too hot, it's too bright, there are too many tourists, I want the cold and rain back
