what it feels liek to come here as someone who likes summer...
(please, it is all in good fun, i understand how different people enjoy/suffer temperatures differently)
When you're cold, you can always put more clothing on.
When you're hot, you can only take so much clothing off.
i understand that, but personally, unles we are talking about >100F and >90% humidity, i don't need more than a small fan and cool water to feel fine
technically there is an upper limit to how much clothing one can put on, even if that is the mass of the universe.
You'd collapse into a star well before that. And even before that, you'd be burnt up by molten sweaters. Though it's not as bad as it sounds because you'd be crushed long before the heat got too much to stay solid.
Especially if you live in a hot, and HUMID environment. Sweat doesn't cool you if it can't evaporate due to high humidity. You just turn into a sweaty hot mess and overheat.
Humidity is a killer, hot or cold. -5 c can feel worst than -20 c
My argument is that summer is relatively terrible specifically in our current circumstances. For most of history, I would absolutely agree with you. But now we have all kinds of heaters and blankets and clothes designed with incredibly complicated materials to insulate us. There's like 62 million ways keep warm, like 3 ways to keep cold (air conditionerand, touch cold thing, or take off clothes) then factor in global warming and obesity rates rising. It's almost enough to forget that for most of history winter is when people starved and froze to death meanwhile summer was a time of wonderful abundance.
