I know it's a joke but if anyone out there ever feels like they're always too hot or too cold (and it's not a medical thing,) check the tags on your clothes. Seriously, the kind of fibre you wear makes a huge difference in how you feel. I live where it gets below 30°C in the winter, where people ask me how the hell I'm not freezing. Well, I have a cotton tee, a merino wool stanfield, thick wool socks, wool fleece hoodie and a wool hat.

Edit: I'm not a lava golem, just a dumbass. NEGATIVE 30°C

Below 30C?! Shit, how do you survive?!

Sorry heat exhaustion is making typos.

Just below 30C you'll usually find me nearly naked.

Naked, lying in a pile of snow, steaming. After coming out of the sauna.

I work at a bakery and wear shorts at work year round. Customers are always surprised that I’m wearing shorts, often exclaiming in the same breath how nice and warm the bakery is.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Hmmm yes the business which uses big ovens that bake bread at high temperatures is nice and hot inside. Whou would've thought.

It is all about layers. Layers equal flexibility.

I kept reading closest as closet and was really confused.

Same. I was trying to figure out how this was some dysphoria hoodie joke, but the sentence wasn't even grammatically correct..

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 1 week ago

I read your closet as closest and was wondering if there was a joke in you typing the same word twice.

The UK has been abnormally hot for the last few days. Feels like you need a jacket, but before long you're sweating.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

All my strawberry plants have regrown, they think it's a summer again.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Even #3 feels overdressed right now.

Morning starts with wool sweater & gloves & long pants & wool socks & boots. Noon-3pm I'm wearing a bikini on the beach & getting a sunburn. After the sun sets, we're cold again, put my morning gear back on, plus ear muffs.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

One would think that a place with a beach has a body of water that retains heat into the night. Seaside or lakeside places usually tend to have a milder climate.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's why I usually don't commute by bike in autumn. Freeze in the morning with too many clothes. Areive all sweaty because too many clothes keep warmth too well. After all that the sun comes out and suddenly it's 20°C outside and I have nowhere to put all the clothes I wore in the morning while I go back home.

from right to left 70f 60f 50f

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah guy on the right has a sweater 60f, 40f, 20f ish.

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At 40f I'm just setting the house on fire to stay warm. I'll be dead by 20f.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

20f is cold but honestly it's not super uncomfortable until you start getting down into the teens and single digits.

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I start getting super uncomfortable around 68f. The two on the left lool miserable to me.

Pyjama pants stay on under the jeans when I get out of bed, then multiple layers: shirt, hoodie, sweater/jacket. Add/remove layers as-needed.

Unless I'm staying home for the day, then it's just pj pants and a hoodie all day.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I use longjohns under the pants since I feel like pyjama pants are too loose, but I guess pyjama pants have the advntage of being fairly normal to wear as pants outside whereas longjohns are a bit weird

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wrap the pj pant leg tightly around your ankle, put socks over top, then pull on the next layer of pants.

Keeps the pj's in-place so they don't ride up your legs or stick out from under your regular pant legs, plus it stops the breeze blowing up your pant legs makin' your ankles/shins chilly.

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm going out wearing one dollar

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I always have at least three if not four layers of clothing - easier to take off a layer than shiver.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I'll take the coat from the left and the shorts from the right please.
