I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That’s too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?
Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?
Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?
AC only goes on when it’s 90 out. Used it 5 times last year. People can adapt. It’s like cutting sugar from your diet.
That really depends on the humidity. I can take a desert 90F or even 100F all day without AC without issue but 80F temps with a 70F dew point absolutely kills me. I lived in my area without AC for years. I never got used to it, I just stopped functioning when it got hot and muggy.
Sans humidity being like 85% its fine… trying that when it’s 85+ and humidity to match, you’ll melt.
How is it like cutting sugar from your diet
It’s the same thing in that both cutting sugar from your diet and living inside a 90°F/32°C box both take all possibility of joy out of your life
