I’m not defending that way of thinking, it just seems to be what often happens.

As an example, it took a lot of work to limit secondhand smoking in my country. I remember in the 90’s when cars and houses were sometimes thick with smoke, even with kids present, and even though people already knew the risks of secondhand smoking. People thought it was bullshit that they weren’t allowed to smoke inside bars and restaurants, on the train or while waiting for public transport. Everyone knew that it was wrong to subject other people to secondhand smoke but to a lot of people it was just the way of life, and therefore right.

I can’t even remember the last time I saw someone smoke in public, and I think most people would consider it unacceptable to smoke around children, but it has taken decades to get to this point.

If enough people do something wrong, it becomes right.

Yeah, it really depends on who you are and what you’re used to. I can even tell that I have gotten slightly better at handling hot weather, after we have started feeling the effects of climate change, and our summers have gotten warmer.

Here in Denmark we generally have very mild weather, but it is definitely on the cooler side. Half of the year it is between 0-15C and raining, and if you spend a lot of time outdoors the moisture will slowly start to seep through your clothes, especially if you’re like me, too lazy to put on a proper waterproof layer. Compared to that, proper snow and frost is great. It’s bright and pretty, there’s almost no moisture in the air and there’s a bunch of fun stuff you can do.

Yes, I wear clothes to feel fine at 0F, and I also need to wear clothes to feel fine at 50F. 85F is unbearable, and I would seriously consider moving north, if it regularly got that hot where I live.

I do outdoors stuff even when it’s -20C but find it difficult to get anything done at 25C, never mind 37C.

In that case, you should change the scale to match how hot/cold it actually gets outside. In many parts of the world, and even in North America, it regularly goes below 0F or above 100F.

“How hot it feels” is highly subjective. I would absolutely melt at 100F but feel fine at 0F, and nothing feels colder than those rainy windy days when it’s 5C outside.
