I live somewhere where our temperature hardly fluctuates at all and we have two seasons wet and dry.
I hate it, although do enjoy knowing that the temperature wont change throughout the dayy more then 10 degrees on an extreme day.
Wake up 28 degrees middle of the day 36 then back down to 28.
But fuck the humidity
butt fuck the humidity
You are one of the three or so first generations of humanity to ever live in a world with air conditioning, not to mention dehumidifiers. I mean, can't do the whole outside, but you can have a climate-controlled house, climate-controlled vehicle, and -- depending upon what you do for work -- possibly a climate-controlled workplace.
Air conditioning is a luxury much of the world can't afford.
I would expect that OP probably can.
OP is German. Most Germans don't have AC, in part due to higher electricity costs. It is most definitely considered a luxury.
Here's a relevant article:

Recently exacerbated by the war in Ukraine:

OP goes to SEA (wherever that is ) and Australia, goes to sea during summer and to mountains during winter, every year.
No doubt he is a bourgeois and he can afford AC. But he doesn’t want it. He like the seasoning.
Sounds bad for the environment
The hotter it gets the more we use AC.
The more we use AC the hotter it gets.
It's a vicious cycle.

The vicious cycle is Fat Bastard from Austin Powers, not Shrek.
Yes but both are Mike Myers doing the same accent and OP, the one I responded to, is describing living in a swamp.
Like mowing knotweed.
Sounds expensive
Sounds like a CIA psyop
Also one of the first generations to see annual heat records broken back to back.
