It's gonna get down to -30°C this week, I'll turn the heat off and just throw on the good ol' toque and a sweater and report back, assuming I still have fingers.

Guys if you keep heating your houses to 15°C or more you're the cause for climate change and the corporations can't blow petawatts on their AI data centers c'mon don't be so selfish

Must be nice living somewhere where you don't even know that pipes can freeze.

Never mind things like water, pets, children...

If a sweaters enough you must live in a warm ass place.

This meme brought to you by a child in California that doesn't know what real winter is. It was 20 something here last night and this dipshit thinks a sweater is gonna keep you alive though that.

I live in a relatively warm part of Canada and let me tell you a sweater alone is not enough 😭
There are plenty of places in the USA Midwest and Europe that get colder.

People in this thread are hitting us with all sorts of whatabout stories with extreme conditions; and meanwhile I'm working in a office where people will come in and turn on the cooling because they just walked up some stairs, and then turn on the heating after they've sat down for a couple of minutes. No concept of self regulation. Just any hint of discomfort means the room has to change temperature.

It that context, the pushback in this thread is a bit depressing.

I have to turn on the heater for my cats or else I'll suffer the consequences.

Unethical life pro tip: get an apartment that isn't at the end of a hallway and has floors above and below. In some cases, you can turn off your heat completely and simply steal heat from your neighbors, leeching off of them like some sort of thermal mosquito. It won't be as warm as is comfortable without bundling up, but it may be warm enough to get by just by bundling up. Watch out for freezing pipes though!

For an added techno bonus: install a smart thermostat connected to a camera pointed at the door with facial recognition tech built in. If anyone other than the residents walk in, the thermostat is automatically reset to 72F/22C. That way if you DO burst a pipe, and the landlord walks in, they won't have any proof you did it!

Blood circulation in my hands breaks down completely when I get cold, so no. I will not be turning down the heat.

Don't get mold buddy

Must be fun not to have any sensitivity issues and also live somewhere so south that a sweater is enough.

OK, OP... where do you live that a sweater is "enough"?

Denver, CO checking in and I'll take my central heat, thanks.

"This meme was made by someone in a warm climate."

My dumbass old housemates would run the heater without closing the windows…

Americans should start building their houses like Europeans. Made from brick, mortar and good insulation. Your houses are made from wood and paper.

-40° and a newborn say otherwise

-20 ºC winters have entered the chat

Well fuck the people not near the equator amirite?

Your landlord not providing heat? Just wear a sweater, stop being such a entitled tenant! /s

Except for baby, kids, convalescente people, handicap people, eldery, and people with a very cold floor and wall that offset the overall room temperature.
This is just extrastrong ableism.
