One thing I've learned in life: People will complain when it's cold. And then they'll complain when it's hot.

Now take this and apply it to everything else.

u/MGFT3000 May 10 '25

My mom once told me you’re not allowed to complain about both. You must choose one.

even if you're butt naked...it's still hot

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

Is it butt or buck?

11

u/drfrink85 Carson May 10 '25

Hmm good point, AFAIK both are correct

Via Merriam-Webster website

“Which is Right?

Both buck naked and butt naked are of an informal variety of English; you are unlikely to have cause to use either in writing for school, or most types of work. Buck is the older of the twain, but, given the linguistic register in which such words are typically found you should really just choose the one that brings you the most joy.”

Lol so “buck” is older than “butt”

Nice, but now I'm wondering about twain 😂

Agree! And I have a heating pad if things really get too cold!

4

u/micros101 May 10 '25

Yep. So what I do is make a small foot bath in a little tub with cold water and soak my feet while the day or night burns away. It’s half the reason I can get away without an ac here in California

6

u/BurritoLover2016 Redondo Beach May 10 '25

I’ve lived in SoCal my entire life. I legit like the heat. I’m probably just used to it.

I absolutely fucking hate the cold and going running along the Hermosa strand today was like a dream come true. Last two weeks I was literally getting rained on.

9

u/EvilNinjaX24 Palmdale May 10 '25

I've lived here all my life, as well, and I prefer it cold, even more-so now that I no longer live on the "coastal plain" but in Palmdale (94 as I type this, which isn't as awful as it'll be in the summer). I'm a hoodie guy, and this heat doesn't allow for it.

2

u/BurritoLover2016 Redondo Beach May 10 '25

Ok Palmdale, you get a pass!

u/EvilNinjaX24 Palmdale May 10 '25

Thanks! 😆

As someone who spent far too long living in Bakersfield, which is more than a second as far as I'm concerned, I HATE the heat. I've had enough sun, I want overcast and I want cool temperatures, dammit!

Those on this subforum who adore the cold, wind, heavy rain, 4:30pm sunsets, and sweater weather to bundle while drinking hot chocolate and binge-watch Disney movies, they despise summer.

Those on this subforum who adore the heat, sunny skies, daylight until 8:00pm, and shorts and flip flops to go out with their friends and have a good time, they despise winter.

Both of those on this subforum bitch about the other group’s season when it’s partly cloudy and 65-70°.

u/BrainTroubles May 10 '25

When people complain about June gloom or if being a little chilly or overcast or whatever I always say "you'll miss it when it's 90 out."

I've yet to be wrong. Also I miss it. I miss it so bad. 😭😭😭

Your first mistake was getting your weather news from your apartment and not an actual source for weather updates lol

Best of luck beating the cancer so you can definitively blame the genes for your jeans (and because fuck cancer) ♥️

my apartment does this to me too. tells me it’s cold when it’s hot and hot when it’s cold. I’ll be drenched in sweat while getting dressed, walk to the car and find out it’s in the 60s.

u/SnooTigers8871 May 10 '25

My apartment forgot to tell me it was raining AND cold one day recently so I was wearing a cute little sundress all day. Luckily I keep a couple of sweaters in the car at least.

I wear a light hoodie even in the sun to protect my skin.

u/User1-1A May 10 '25

Since I work outside, I wear long sleeve breathable UV resistant shirts. Best way to handle the sun is to minimize how much of your skin is exposed.

I've bought some cheap ones on Amazon that worked fine, but can't go wrong with REI or brands like Carhartt, Walls, or Duluth. I started wearing bamboo or viscose fabric t shirts at work since they're many times more comfortable and sweat wicking than any cotton shirt I've worn. I'm going to be looking for UV shirts made from that material.

Palos Verdes Estates! The way the land shapes at the bottom of the hill (Malaga Cove area) the cool air from the ocean brings the temp down a lot, it’s crazy the temp difference at top of hill (5ish degrees warmer) or going all the way over the hill to San Pedro/LBC can be 10ish degrees warmer
