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/

MODERATORS
At least in my experience, this does seem to be an unpopular opinion. One that I share.
70F without a thick layer of clouds might as well be the inside of an oven.
45F in spring is T-shirt weather, in fall it's light hoody weather. The difference is humidity.
The ideal outdoor temperature is between 0F and 25F. Subzero is acceptable down to -30F. At that point stay inside.
You can always put more clothes on, but you can only get so naked.
Snow is great, perhaps the single greatest ground covering.
It's easy to cool off in a proper winter. Just inhale deeply. It's also easy also to stay warm, just dress appropriately for the weather.
It's not hard to keep a house warm in the winter either. Just make sure it's properly insulated for the weather. You'll only need to run the heat a few times a week or in severely cold temperatures if it's built properly and not massively oversized for the number of people living in it.
My electricity more than doubles in the summer because AC is so horribly inefficient.
Summer is the single worst season. Fuck summer.
