Unethical life pro tip: get an apartment that isn't at the end of a hallway and has floors above and below. In some cases, you can turn off your heat completely and simply steal heat from your neighbors, leeching off of them like some sort of thermal mosquito. It won't be as warm as is comfortable without bundling up, but it may be warm enough to get by just by bundling up. Watch out for freezing pipes though!
For an added techno bonus: install a smart thermostat connected to a camera pointed at the door with facial recognition tech built in. If anyone other than the residents walk in, the thermostat is automatically reset to 72F/22C. That way if you DO burst a pipe, and the landlord walks in, they won't have any proof you did it!

Blood circulation in my hands breaks down completely when I get cold, so no. I will not be turning down the heat.

Just embrace the cold and build up your brown fat which burns calories to keep you warm so you can eat pizza all day and stay skinny*.

Must be fun not to have any sensitivity issues and also live somewhere so south that a sweater is enough.
This meme brought to you by a child in California that doesn't know what real winter is. It was 20 something here last night and this dipshit thinks a sweater is gonna keep you alive though that.
I live in Canada and tbh I'm with the Chad on this.
Not saying "turn off your furnace" but energy use (and cost) baloons exponentially based on how hot you have your thermostat set at. Lower your thermostat to the point where wearing a sweater indoors is enough and save money. It's not even just about the money, it'sresponsible energy usage.
And I'd be happy to subsidize the first X GJ/mo to help people keep themselves from freezing, but if people want their apartment to be the tropics that's gotta be on their dime.
Same with electricity. I'll subsidize keeping your lights on but I'm not paying you to mine crypto.

Ok cranky grandpa, go sit back by your space heater.
I'm in the UK and have managed to get this far this year using just jumpers and the heat generated from folding at home on a couple PCs.
Nearly caved last week when temps dropped to around 0 but then i found my slippers

To be fair, you could wear winter gear 24/7. I lived like that for a bit. The real reasons we need heating are structural decay and pets. Pipes burst below 55 and pets don't do well below 65.
There are real reasons to heat your house besides just wanting to be warm.
Not all of us carry that much fat around ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How does that prevent you from wearing warm clothes?
