This meme makes no sense. Dry cold is worse than humid cold.
Edit: I mean the air, not your body or clothes. Wind chill is so much worse in dry air.
well.
Ii'll take -40 (0r worse) over just-at-freezing and rainy. that shit seeps, and nothing wholesome ever seeps. when it's brutally cold out, you can just pack more on. (or stay inside.)
The meme, though, is a joke about the otherside of the spectrum. ("It's a dry heat.")
No way man. Having dry skin in the cold is way easier to tolerate than damp skin. When I come out of the gym covered in sweat and it’s -20 outside it’s 10 times worse than when I go in.
You two need to share body heat. He'd fit under your coat.
Oh-ho
we just discovered electric hand warmers and fuck the heat death of the universe but recess duty is so much easier now
I'm about to blow your frickin mind.
Lmao a $100 amazon brand electric jacket? It will get you very warm, but only once.
hold on i gotta see if i can get a hat like that for when i get migraines
consider my marvy fabbed
if it's migraines, they also make heated or cooled eye covers that can apply tension. I used to use one and would even sometimes use it on my nape for tension headaches. it's like a hot cloth that never gets cold.
i have plans for a hheating pad made out of buckwheat, but i haven't planned on one using electrical resistance. that is definitely an idea. apologies if there are misspeelings, there is a cat betweem me and the sreen
there is a cat betweem me and the sreen
you mean there's a screen between you and a cat 😸
