Enial is a river in Gypt.

Got thrown back into anger. After being room temp over the weekend, it will drop to freezing tonight

Without the bizarre cropping

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You're doing $deity's work, thank you.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Was this purposefully cropped to remove attribution to the artist? Surely nobody would be that bad at cropping.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

All pictures must be square.

Or something.

I fixed it. I hate how the weather switches from cold to a warm snap in the middle of the winter

Holy St. Florian, that burn's even harder than the great Fire of London 1666

Elation (not pictured).

Fuck the heat, I don't understand the lizard-blooded people that hate winter.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Fuck winter.

It also just makes sense on a practical level. You can always put on another layer, but there are only so many layers you can remove in the heat.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Am lizard-blooded.

Temps below ~60°F/15°C cause actual, physical pain. My joints hurt, my bones hurt, the air is usually drier which makes it hard to breathe, and my muscles tense trying to brace myself against the cold.

Yes, I stretch. Yes, I wear layers. Yes, I take prescribed vitamin D. I still hurt and I still deal with pretty bad seasonal depression. That’s why I’m happy at 90°F/32°C; it stops hurting.

My happy temperature!

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

:(

Aw, I'm sorry. I get nauseous and weird prickly skin along with sweating almost literal buckets when it's too warm, so I guess I do feel you on a conceptual level, at least, even if it's the reverse for me.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

My condolences to you as well. Crazy how human biology can vary so much!

Hopefully you’re able to be in a climate better suited to your needs, if you so choose.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

For real. I hate the heat. The quality of my sleep increases exponentially when my room is under 60 degrees. In the summer, when I'm fighting my power bill to get below 73, life is absolutely miserable.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

I'll deal with the heat in exchange for sunlight and thriving plant life.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Currently preparing for the ice storm that will hit tonight, which will likely knock out power. As I would rather not freeze to death, and have all the pipes burst in my house. Ya, winter.

[–] clif@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

It's 25C here currently... So denial, I guess?

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

None, winter is nice

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

I actually kind of like winter? Much better than Summer!

[–] Iunnrais@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My phases:

Longing, anticipation, comfort, giddiness, glee, ecstatic joy

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Wtf, no positivity allowed on Lemmy

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

My air conditioner is running right now, so haven't even hit the first stage.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd be happy if there actually was any snow, then it gets bright and pleasant outside. Around 0 C and rainy is way, way worse, especially given the very limited hours of sunlight.

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 3 points 2 days ago

I never seem to get past the depression state. Is there a cheat code?

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I like winter. It makes the hot dry summer tolerable.

[–] Lojcs@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remind me to post the reverse in june

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You mean like this?

(I must have too much time on my hands. Way too much.)

[–] Lojcs@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I was thinking I'd swap the faces too if I remembered to

In denial that winter ever used to be a thing. 70F, 21.1C here, 80F and 26.6C less than a week ago. When I was a kid we had to wear actual winter clothing. I hate the desert and I hate the denial that we're warming up.
