This meme makes no sense. Dry cold is worse than humid cold.
Edit: I mean the air, not your body or clothes. Wind chill is so much worse in dry air.
No way man. Having dry skin in the cold is way easier to tolerate than damp skin. When I come out of the gym covered in sweat and it’s -20 outside it’s 10 times worse than when I go in.
I don't mean your clothes or your body, I mean the humidity. Wind chill is so much worse when the air is dry.
well.
Ii'll take -40 (0r worse) over just-at-freezing and rainy. that shit seeps, and nothing wholesome ever seeps. when it's brutally cold out, you can just pack more on. (or stay inside.)
The meme, though, is a joke about the otherside of the spectrum. ("It's a dry heat.")
we just discovered electric hand warmers and fuck the heat death of the universe but recess duty is so much easier now
I'm about to blow your frickin mind.
Lmao a $100 amazon brand electric jacket? It will get you very warm, but only once.
hold on i gotta see if i can get a hat like that for when i get migraines
consider my marvy fabbed
if it's migraines, they also make heated or cooled eye covers that can apply tension. I used to use one and would even sometimes use it on my nape for tension headaches. it's like a hot cloth that never gets cold.
i have plans for a hheating pad made out of buckwheat, but i haven't planned on one using electrical resistance. that is definitely an idea. apologies if there are misspeelings, there is a cat betweem me and the sreen
there is a cat betweem me and the sreen
you mean there's a screen between you and a cat 😸
