Which is the best part of winter: the sun setting at 5pm every day, or it literally hurting when you go outside? (lemmy.world)

The sun sets 14:56 today where I am, still love winter. It's so quiet outside with the snow muffling sounds, it's beautiful, I prefer being too cold to being too hot(I can always put on more clothes, can't take off my own skin), the sun sets properly(it doesn't in summer) .

So what's it like, having the ability to spawn more clothes at will? Do you have to recite a spell or is just thinking about the clothes enough to magic them into existence?

It's more like... Having an extra layer or two stashed at convenient locations like a chipmunk.

[-] dunz@feddit.nu 5 points 9 months ago

Yeah,and if I'm too hot I can take a layer, or my beanie(I think that's the right word?), or whatever off

I can plan according to the weather, so I don't have to spawn new clothes. It's not like it goes from shorts and t-shirt weather to parka and scarf weather in one day. And as I said, much prefer being too cold than too hot. I can always heat up with some movement or something.

That must be nice. I've spent decades thinking "oh it's 65°F tonight this one jacket is plenty" then after I leave home I discover the 30 mph Arctic winds make it feel like 10°

it's called putting more thought into your clothing than adding 5 tshirts when it gets colder.

It's a damn shame knowledge on proper winter clothing has been so largely lost to time, especially since it inherently seems to look on point.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I think most people who complain about cold weather are capable of reasonable planning. The problem comes when the weather changes suddenly and it's fucking awful
