more like 104° days until summer ends
That's a lot of days. It's hard for us all to find a good way to spend it.
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!
I mean, summer is different than it was 50 years ago. It's hotter, longer, and dryer.
Less rain but more humidity
Not in my area (Utah), we don't know anything about this "humidity" thing you speak of. Even our snow is dry.
And I don't get to stop going to work every day.
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.
❌hot girl summer
✅cold bitch winter
For a certain definition of PR, this is true. Most of the cultural associations of the seasons come from 'classic' literature, most of which, in the English-speaking world, came from England and New England. How many places in the Southern US actually get a leaf colour change in fall? The cultural touchstones defining the associations of seasons were written in places where the winters are dreary and cold and summers are a bit hot sometimes but not usually too horrible, and certainly not likely to kill you. Try telling someone living in the South of the US that summer is the best season, see how many warning shots they fire past your nose.
I've lived in the south. I'll take the 100+F days with high humidity. You know why? Because the heat doesn't hurt. It will make you uncomfortable as fuck because of sweat and lethargy, you might get a sunburn, which hurts later, and it can kill you over time, but it doesn't hurt. Cold fucking hurts like a bitch. In the summer, I can finish mucking the horse stalls and herding the cows, then head inside and take a shower. Instantly all the uncomfortable heat and its byproduct of sweat/grime is gone. The AC and a little air movement make the heat dissipate in moments. In the winter, I have to head inside and sit by the fireplace or in the shower/bath until the warmth actually makes it down to my bones, because they are aching from the cold, and that can take bloody hours.
Spring is obviously still the best season, but summer is far from the worst.
False
All 4 seasons are the worst season
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.
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.
You'd have to go back to the 19th century for those non-fossil carbon dioxide variations to matter.
The notion of nice summers is way older than that, probably.
Idk, I like summer here in Poland.
I only liked it because I was off. Otherwise, I've always hated summer. I used to dream of having a fall or winter vacation instead. I didn't have AC at home or at school growing up, so if I was going to be uncomfortable, just let me go back. I want to go to the zoo on a nice fall afternoon, not the second coming of Satan's asshole.
What does PR stand for in this instance?
Public relations.
Portia de Rossi
It'll only get hotter and more days in the year will reach these temperature so get used to it
I like heat under my own circumstances, summer is definitely not one of them
I like summer. Not when it's high heat and humidity, but I do like it being light outside after 3:30 PM.
I can’t stand it. I can’t sleep well with the sun up. My kids don’t sleep well with the sun up. Who to I have to sacrifice to the sun to get darkness between at least 10pm and 6am? (Though preferably 9pm and 6:30, if the sun is up for negotiations.)
