It’s impossible to survive and be productive or do anything useful in the fucking heat.
Everyone who lives anywhere near the equator, most farmers, Australians, and the entire African continent might take exception to that claim. You can say you prefer the cold all you like, and that’s fine, but this sound like a you problem.
Just cleared a baseball infield 2 days in a row in 98-degree heat with jeans on. You will never catch me out there in winter. Scream all you want, I hate the cold and am fine with the heat.
Also it’s trivial to turn matter or electricity into heat, but you can’t go the other way. Best you can do is move the heat from inside to outside, and make it everyone else’s problem.
In Holland we have 99% humidity all winter with temperatures right around freezing and no matter how many layers you add the cold wet air seeps in and chills you to the bone.
I see you have not experienced -30C going on and and on for weeks on end.
I promise you, the little wet chills are better. Especially when its windy, though I imagine you dutch know all about that nastyness.
I’ve experienced -50c where I live, it’s typically only for a few days per winter but those days are absolutely terrible. It literally hurts to breathe when you’re outside and you can feel your nose freezing up, and your eyelashes freeze shut if you blink too long or too much.
Even a quick 5 minute walk is excruciating. It’s always a good reminder of my mortality to be outside in that weather, being locked out of warmth would be a quick death sentence.
Yep, we do get those occasional -40C days every few winters. You put it well, it’s a good reminder ones mortality and that we really shouldnt have left the savanna, to be totally honest.
Right? No matter what I wear, I’ll inevitably start freezing/being cold, especially my feet which I can’t just put extra layers on. Add to that eyes watering intensely in the cold, windy weather, plus runny nose, so can’t wear anything over it for any extended time, lest I bathe my face in snot. No, thank you. Give me summer and a fan.
If you’re cold in winter you can always put on another layer.
If you’re hot in summer, eventually all you can do is suffer. :)
It feels like we have to keep screaming this at peoples faces for them to understand.

Some people prefer being hot to being cold. Like me. Except for when I’m sleeping.
Lie
Snuggles you

Ohh damn. Why didn’t I think of that? Thank you.
BRB, gonna go have a fun time.
Same here except I can sleep well enough up to around 90 degrees. Above that and I will need a fan.
barefoot & shirtless == unproductive/no-expectations-from-me and i wouldn’t have it any other way. lol

My layers only keep the cold inside, I suspect I might be a reptile.
The best part about winter, is that if you are still cold, you can always light something on fire.
Instructions unclear, M&M’s container on fire around cylinder.
It’s so hot you’ve switched to the fireman’s technique. Heat jacket to keep radiating heat from the outside environment from getting in.
Same, wrists and soul are always cold.

Gewoon harder fietsen dan
This cliche has always landed flat for me. Always cold or uncomfortable in the winter with a dozen layers, and don’t suffer in the heat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Or use AC
AC doesn’t work outdoors tho.
Pools do, but that isn’t exactly realistic for people working physical labor.
Not yet
(And it might be a while, don’t think it’s panned out in the 15 years since)
Of course it’s Dubai
Or remove another layer.
