But 'cold' and 'heated' are bad. People are weird about temperature.
Ice cold insult. Sick burn.
"You warm up the ice! It's the best of both worlds!"
See also "they have a hot head" vs "they have a hot body/face"
Would "hot blooded" be good or bad? 🤔
I guess if your temperature is 103 then it's bad, unless you're a Foreigner.
And sizzling is good.
Yet, some of my favorite communities are Mildly Interesting and Mildly Infuriating.
You can be both down for something, and up for it at the same time
There is a quote I like by famous character actor and certified psychopath Klaus Kinski who once said to his audience (translation mine):
If only you were hot! Or if only you were cold! But you are lukewarm, and I spit on you!
But lukewarm and mid isn't.
And when I blow hot one minute and cold the next, suddenly everyone has a problem with it :(
What's the word for something in the middle? Tepid?
These days, it's "mid".
Lukewarm, chilly…
But then we also don't like people too far from average.
Made me think of this YouTube video :) Also check out the comments for more examples.
Expected Katy Perry
People are cool and hot but bodies are cold or warm
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
