One person wakes up at 11:00 AM when the sun is at the highest to do absolutely nothing besides a walk in the park and spending their neet bucks in Starbucks

Second person wakes up at 6 AM when it is cold outside, and works hard whole day to pursue their dreams.

They don't seem to have heard of weather reports.

I am too confident, my thought is always "this person is going to die from heat/cold!" And rarely "did I make mistake?"

Isn’t that the point of layers?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes but then you'll have to carry these layers around with you :(

Has using sleeves to tie around waist come back yet? I never stopped but I’ve seen young people wearing grunge stuff again.

Today's Weather:

Yes, with a chance of probably in the late afternoon, followed by a 50% chance of overnight definitely.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

at least I don't have to worry about that!

*cries in 36⁰C highs*

They'll both be wrong half the day.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nope, that’s the point of layers. Adjustable.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

That's how I get to be wrong more than half the day. The sun knows when the jacket goes back on.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yep, forecast today: somewhere between 5 and 25 °C.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

So shorts weather all day? Sounds good.

Quebec has a song just about that. https://youtu.be/_whvVXX0hCk? Basic, whenever it looks cold, I look outside and ask whoever wear a pullover ' hey izzit cold? Are you good in that pullover?"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

They’re both wrong. Left is going to be chilly when the sun goes down and right is going to be hot during the day.

Its such a pain choosing what to wear but this season makes it EVEN WORSE

In the UK you'll often see teenage boys wearing big thick black jackets in the peak of summer. Even when it can be in the mid 30Cs. I've no idea what drives them to make such decisions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

If the stereotype is accurate, I'm thinking knives.

While when I visited the UK in October/November way back, every geezer over the age of 50 ran around in shorts. Even when it was like 10C. I've no idea what drives them to make such decisions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I'm way under 50 but I'll be wearing shorts until October or November! My legs don't feel the cold as much as the rest of my body and it's just more comfortable than wearing trousers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if it's a style thing, or for hiding things that a roadman might need.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

It's almost definitely knives.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Shit, I'd wear a jacket too if it was somehow in the 30s in June.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Really? How warm would it have to be for you to not wear a jacket?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Some context for my joke: I'm an American.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Black North Face jackets, almost every lad from the ages of 14-35 has one lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yep! Although it's usually teenagers that wear them in totally absurd conditions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

They think it's something to be respected to suffer for cool or what is going on.
