Summer is the worst season of the year, isn't? (lemm.ee)

The sun sucks, being forced to shower like every 4 hours just to not feeling sweaty, the fucking mosquitoes, the fact you can't wear anything that you want anymore due the heat, the people outside... The fucking beach. I try to avoid it... The fucking sand, not a fan of it. Is scratchy, harsh, annoying and it infiltrates in every nook and cranny. Is not worth the annoyance just to shower yourself with salt water.

Bro do you live in the desert? Or are you obese? Both? This feels like a very local/personal experience lol. Far from everyone has these issues with summer.

Maybe it's all a joke and I'm whooshing hard but... Anyway.

Just sounds like Florida to me.

100% humidity all the time. Temperatures in the 100's (F) (>38C). Feels like the air is thick and heavy constantly. It'll rain just long enough every so often to keep these attributes true almost all the time. Doesn't matter how fit you are, just walking to your car is enough to make you feel like you just crawled out of the swamp. Worst of all, Florida doesn't get Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter; We get Summer, Simmer, Summer, Fall.

Yeah that sounds about right. I've lived two summers in south Florida and it was brutal. Summers here in northern Sweden are quite a lot milder, obviously. Very comfortable. But can also get very hot, as well.

So a very local thing indeed.

I'm guessing you've never been to a tropical place during summer. They're not exaggerating, any physical work you do within a couple of minutes you start sweating, it's hell.

I have.

A lot more of the USA is obese now than ever, and obesity and heat do not mix.

[–] victorz 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Indeed. I have a colleague who is obese. They tend to dress lighter waaay earlier in the year than the rest of us in the team. 😅

Offices having AC on when its 50 outside also sucks.

[–] victorz 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

When you say 50, you mean C or F?

[–] SupraMario 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fahrenheit, sorry should have clarified.

That sucks for everyone, yeah.
