UNLESS you work a blue collar job, or any other job that requires you to be outside the whole time, I don’t see the point in showering every day. Especially if you work from home or in a building with AC. It seems excessive and is also a waste of water. But do what you want lmao.

Take any temperature you feel comfortable at.

Raise it by 10℃, and consider that temperature. That’s what I feel like at your “comfortable” temp.

Simply put, my body runs super-hot. My ideal temps for various situations tend to be 8-15℃ below the same range of other people.

As in, even normal office temp ranges can make me look like a drowned rat if I engage in any physical effort at all. Even something as simple as moving banker’s boxes around can have me drenched in sweat at “normal” office temps.

I love winter, because I can be out there in -10℃ weather without even a jacket, be shovelling snow, and I can actually exert myself without sweating. Winter is about the only time of the year where I can experience truly comfortable temperatures.

Nice to know there are others out there like myself. I'm not this far in the extreme, but I very obviously have northern genetics and I live in the humid South. I abhor summer and dream of winter. I just want to live somewhere where I don't become dehydrated from less than 30 minutes of effort outside.

This is pretty much me my whole life. I sweat super easy.

Also my brain itself doesn't like heat. If you are familiar with Discworld, I'm basically a troll. The heat makes me dumb and unable to focus.

Im also super sensitive to humidity with breathing. When its warm and humid out I feel like I can't breath.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
