I personally find winter better because its far easier to warm yourself up than it is to cool yourself down imo.

If you’re cold you can just put on a big coat

But there’s only so many layers you can take if you’re too hot before it becomes illegal in public

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even that doesn't help. Now I'm just sunburned and under arrest...

It also doesnt help much if the air is saturated with water, hence warming up, has far fewer restrictions, then cooling down.

The sole advantage cooling down has that it has a free option.

In the winter, an rtx 3090 is a warm companion as you play endlessly during the long nights. In the summer, it's a losing hand at a game of strip poker.

For real lol i can't chat with my friends when I game during the summer because I have to leave my door open because it becomes like dangerously hot in my room otherwise

Summer is better during winter, but winter is better during summer.

[–] Spudwart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Now that’s the answer I know is correct.

Winter: “I can’t wait for spring, it’s so cold” Spring: “I cant wait for summer, I hate pollen” Summer: “I can’t wait for fall, it’s so hot.” Fall: “I can’t wait for winter, these leaves are so annoying.”

I live in Scotland. In winter we get no daylight.

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds divine

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Where I live, nowadays the perfect months are May and September, and occasionally June. The rest are unacceptable - lack of sunlight and constant rain, or scorching heat and humidity.

I like summer more because it’s easier for me to get out than during winter. There are times I’m stuck in home for week because it’s too cold to go out. It’s hot outside during summer but you can wait it out till evening. Also, less clothes to wear :D

I get 5-7 months of snow every year. I cherish every minute of summer!

One day we will miss this weather because it will be cold compared to our temperature. So technically summer gang would be right in the long run.

I spend the winter enjoying the feeling of being "intentionally warm", and I love how cute I look layered up in jackets and scarves. During the summer, I am sticky, covered in itchy and burning mosquito bites, and the seatbelt buckle burned my hands.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I never miss the summer

[–] OrganicLife@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As someone who doesn't hold body heat well, I'd rather be too hot than too cold.

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

are you one of those lizard people i've been hearing about?

[–] Sailor_jets@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

You still get snow?

[–] AtomicPopsicle@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Alternatively: “Wow, you live in Florida? The sunshine must be so great without the cold!”

HAH WE IN TALLINN FOR SOME REASON DON'T HAVE MOSQUITOES HAHAHA EAT URANIUM-236 AMERICAN

Malaria is hot right now

[–] OrganicLife@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

No just a thin guy. Wish I were a lizard person. Atleast I'd be rich.

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unironically yes.

Summer gang was here.

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Go burn somewhere. -Snow gang

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haters here, but that's okay.

The way the earth is going, summer gang will outlive winter gang.

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao outlive? You know how many people die in summer due to heat?

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

All winter gang deaths. RIP
