At least if you live in a place that isn't on fire or cooking to death for its entire duration

I just like seeing trees blob-no-thoughts

Saw a deer moments before taking this photo ferret

trump-moist

(me, seeing a deer when it's 95F and 90% humidity, also my hat has a palestine flag and is hamas green)

The worst experience I had with humid weather was when a bowl of cheetos left on a table turned soggy overnight negative

you are a strong person for surviving this hardship and I hope that you can recover some sense of normalcy as the years progress rat-salute-2

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you, I will try

But seriously though, I can't even imagine how awful those conditions would be to live in

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

walking outside often feels like walking into a mouth, it's awful

how can a comment make me sweaty and nauseous

I just saw a deer, she looked too fuckin warm

My mom sent me a picture the other day of a black bear that climbed their cherry tree on a beautiful 70 degree day

It’s 98 degrees here and the sun hurts on my skin

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

98 F works out to... almost 37 C

I would simply perish elmofire

Also I'm happy I don't need to worry about seeing a bear this far south. Had a mama moose(or rather, elk) and her calf cross the road in front of me while I was walking home to my apartment one evening a few summers ago and that was already too 2spooky4me

it's rare but it can get as high as ~106 (41 C) where I live

& I live in a house with poor insulation and no air conditioning

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Air conditioning isn't generally a thing here either, mostly because it hasn't historically been that warm

When it gets hot I just have an electric fan pointed at my face at all times when I'm home

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, it’s vile. I’m moving out of Florida at the end of July and it can’t come quick enough. The last few years the heat has gotten soooo bad.

And thankfully it was just a black bear in Virginia, so just a little guy who wanted some cherries. If it was a grizzly it’d be a lot more concerning lol

It got to almost 30 degrees in my apartment in the evenings a few weeks back and that was already pretty intolerable to me, can't even imagine desolate

And thankfully it was just a black bear

I would definitely still shit my pants

i am in one of those increasingly uninhabitable during summer places. but i also love green trees, hate the winter.

even autumn makes me sad because winter is coming. spring is the best, because longest time until winter!!

not looking forward to only seeing nature from inside, short bursts into 95F/85% and from my car window

but i found some hiking locations within a half days drive at significant altitude so all hope isn't lost! high enough that it never goes above 70F

(pics look very far north compared to where i am)

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've noticed myself getting sadder when the end of summer approaches as I get older. Feels shorter every year kitty-cri Hell, it's already less than a week until summer solstice and then it's going to start getting darker again

Actually, sunlight is a big component of why summer is so important to people in the north. You go from the sky being pitch black after 3 PM at around Christmas to the Sun never quite fully setting around Midsummer

[–] Des@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

maybe through some wizardry we can get cool summers/mild winters combined with subtropical summertime light levels

honestly living at high altitude near the equator is the closest thing to that

  • Create a new landmass in the southern hemisphere that mirrors Northern Europe
  • Split your time between the two continents, leaving whenever it gets too dark and cold think-about-it

I actually don't mind snowy winters either, it's the seesawing between above and below freezing that makes things icy, slippery and shitty

[–] Des@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

i agree! i like snow but where im at now winters are just slimey, dreary, dead trees everywhere and barely below freezing. so like your seesaw but even shittier

so we just need like 9 months of springlike conditions with 3 of gently blanketing snow when we build our continent

8 degrees? I assume Australians are freezing solid like in a cartoon
