Yep I saw some Indians near Atlanta who were wearing big coats when it was just a hair below 70 F outdoors. I was out there loading stuff into my car in shorts and a T-shirt and they looked at me funny.

The opposite of that, that I also saw was my portly Eskimo friend, who was in shorts and a T-shirt in the actual winter time when I needed a big coat. He was like "You think this is cold?"

Hawaii here. Our line is about 70 too. That's when we wear socks with out slippers.

It was 50 last night when I took the dog for a walk. I was too lazy to put on socks, so it was in sweats with sandals and bare feet. Was surprisingly easier on the feet than I expected

I mean room temperature is 20 °C (68 °F) so wearing shorts and T-shirt should be the norm imo. If it isn't colder outside than inside, why put on more clothes?

Wind is a factor too, also if it's 20c inside imma be cold.

True

also if it's 20c inside imma be cold.

Seriously? I've seen people go to 18 °C on the thermostat but not above 20. Are you from a super hot place?

I'm from Sweden which I don't consider super hot, but most people I come across would have their homes warmer than 20c. More like 23-25.

Believe it or not, I'm also from Sweden, and most people I know have it set to 19-20, and one guy 18. I've never seen 23(!) I can't believe they're native Swedes.
