listen here, canadian, you may like it when your extremities hurt from how fucking cold it is, and love sweating because you have to wear layers to not freeze, but your nose is still cold, but some of us actually like feeling like we're warm enough and being ok with things being bright, visible, welcoming and comfortable.

Too hot? just stay indoors between 11 to 3 and you'll be fine.

EDIT: Unlike those random ass non summer months when it can rain or be shittier than usual at random, we know when it's too fucking hot or so sunny it will burn you; it's the same fucking time every day.

Stay inside from 11-3? More like stay inside from May-September.

I never stop sweating for like four months of the year and hate it.

Good thing no one works outdoors and every building has A/C.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It sucks to work outdoors full stop. You think they prefer it cold or rainy?

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

My dad’s a welder, works outside every day. I asked him, he said obviously it depends on the situation but in general he’d take cold and dry. 1-5 degrees and raining is just about worst case scenario for him. We’re Canadian though so we’re used to the cold, maybe if you asked someone from Florida or something they’d have a different answer.

You know that scene from riddick where the guy steps into the sun/desert storm and gets instantly vaporized? Thats what its like here in the summer. Every year my state sends everyone a letter telling them basically not to go outside. Winters are aight, they get a little cold. Coldest i can remember was about -10f or im guessing about -14C

The sun is out.

Plants are doing their thing.

Life is abundant.

Idk who the fuck actually thinks “yes winter thank god”

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Dead silent moonlit landscapes are just incredible.

Dry is key, wet and cold winters are awful. Like -6C to -17C is perfect. -6C is practically t-shirt weather. Anything between-3C and 5C (27F-41F) is just misery.

Living somewhere that the snow stays powdery and it's -10C on average for 4 months of the winter is awesome!

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago

The heat is restrictive.

Plants are releasing allergens, requring medication and/or extensive exposure therapies.

Abundance of life can be overwhelming and invasive in the form of road traffic full of boat trailers, pickup flag caravans, and grills and smokers billowing on residential development scales.

I can regulate my temperature in the cold, where there are barely any allergens that get me and everyone's holed up inside so I can be outside and in peace more often than not.

But my ancestors were bog people. If it isn't misty or foggy in the morning I am genetically obligated to be grouchy until ingesting heated caffiene or complaining about the english.

No bugs.

Snow.

Sun is still out but isn't a deadly laser.

Hot cocoa by a crackling fire.

I also enjoy actually seeing the fucking sun once in a while.

No. It's the nice weather and long days.

[–] Starski@lemmy.zip 28 points 15 hours ago (9 children)

If you count nice weather as scorching hot air that's difficult to breathe in, nonstop blinding sunlight, rarely any precipitation to cool things down, and for all that pain to last like 16 hours of the day, then sure, that's nice weather. Not to mention the million bugs constantly trying to get you.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 12 points 15 hours ago (6 children)

Summer used to be nicer, though. Before the climate crisis made it unbearable.

Winter being more fun, because there actually was snow for downhill sports is pure nostalgia from when I was a kid. I can agree on that. But summer was great if you had access to a lake or pool.

My wife works for the schools and still has summer off. I have two kids in high school and one in college. All summer off. I hate summer. I'm going snow camping the week after Christmas though. Without them.

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Depends a lot on the climate. I hated summer in Hungary with 3 months of 30-39°C days, now in Scotland, where it barely goes over 20°C for a couple weeks / year, I cherish every sunny day.

Texas weather sucks all year. It's so hot you'll die in an hour in the summer and the wind makes it cold as shit even in fall.

I grew up in the tropics and currently reside in a fairly cold place.

I prefer European summers and tropical winters

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

September & October are my favorite months.

Winter is pretty good too.

Summer meh.

[–] Dabundis@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago

people who say they like [other season] are lying to themselves. It is objectively correct to like [poster's favorite season]
