Ah yes, the midwesterner.

I feel called out.

Haha, beat me to it!

I've seen them go outside in shorts and t-shirts when it breaks 0, and washing their cars when it breaks 32.

I only freeze my finger and back

So i just wear some wind proof jacket/shirt and shoes

Hands in pocket is often enough too

Northerners in the uk

Because I ain't a little bitch, cameraman. Now let's flip it around and see you handle 115F/46C+ temps, it's only fair. Dying of heatstroke already? There is always this person smh

I was this guy when i lived in hungary but the funny part was that it was actually like 10c and spring(even tho historically it used to go below minus 10 there during winter). Now that i live in sweden i realize people are also like that here but thankfully the large amount of finns who live here spice it up. Im not even kidding when it was my first winter here and a guy showed up in shorts in -20c while i had two hoodies and a winter jacket on and was still freezing. Always the finns.

46C where? That's a critical piece of information. Not all 40+ temperatures are equal.

That's me, I'm never cold. Cold wind can be cold, but when there is no wind, there cannot be cold.

I live in the SW USA, so you've got a few options

Canadian?

It's snowing so it can't actually be that cold, it's fine

I’d rather be uncomfortably cold for the 15 minutes I spend outside than uncomfortably hot for the majority of the time inside.

I teach at the university level and can confirm. A while back, it was 4ºF/-15ºC, and I saw someone dressed like this. I had about 4 layers on and was still cold.

I'm usually like that, but last time I went for it there was a lot more wind than anticipated and it hurts. It's not even cold it's just pain.

Or lose my jacket because I don't want to be uncomfortably hot.

My fingers start to go numb and my asthma sometimes flares up, so i'd replace the jacket with gloves and a ski mask (which is enough to make asthma okay) paired with shorts and tshirt.

Would not recommend being at closed buildings at like 4am dressed like that though unless you like chatting with police.

Oh absolutely. Had some Sault Ste Marie relatives in town and if it is over 5°C/40°F they dress as though they're going to the beach!

Hey look, it's me

And the Valleys and Cardiff

Like when I was shovelling snow at -10C in a t-shirt. My neighbor came out to do the same, wrapped up in thick coat, hat, scarf, gloves, etc, and still shivering.

It's always the person's with 4 layers vs the ones dressed like this.

Hey you

I had a buddy who challenged himself to only wear shorts for the whole year.

He technically didn't succeed because he had to go to an event with a dress code, but I still consider it a success because he didn't choose to wear pants.

I've discovered my body's secret to cold immunity is going backpacking with a hammock and no under quilt when the lows are in the 20s, with a sleeping bag that lied about its rated temperature.

Unfortunately I have to repeat it every 5-8 years.

It is important to note that the trip where I discovered this was supposed to have lows in the 60s, but a blue northern rolled in on the first night.

Long pants are refereed to as big boy pants

Hos don't get cold

BE the inspiration that you want to see in the world! 😜

Coats can be a pain when you are going somewhere you can't hang them up. But if you are hot indoors during the winter in long pants you should probably consult someone. Unless you are visiting your aunt Edna who keeps her house at 80F

That guy just had a sports practice and his body temperature is elevated.

Signed, an athlete in a winter climate.

Cold is a mindset most of the time.

Fuck that crap. Not only my shorts all the time, but, I have 2 kilts. A utilikilt and a dress tartan kilt.

That's why there are nice kilts for "dressy" occasions. You do not need any heritage reason to wear a kilt. Can get them in plain colors, eg: khaki.

Winter heat exhaustion can cause heart attacks.

I thought I was gonna have that last week. Walking a kilometer in ski shoes + 4 pair of skis + 17°C has to be some sort of personal record for me. Hopefully never again.

Every time I see someone like this it angers me and fascinates me.

Oh good I’m just hot indoors all year in long pants.

Exactly. There’s a huge gap between ‘feeling cold’ and ‘being cold’. The human body is perfectly capable of operating for extended periods at temperatures that we deem ‘uncomfortable’. After all, our species survived to the present day, and proper clothing and central heating are relatively new inventions.

The human body itself produces a tremendous amount of heat. Go sit in a cold room with a few friends and it’ll soon get toasty.

I’ve spent a good amount of hours outdoors in cold and rainy weather. If you give in to ‘feeling cold’, the body doesn’t really learn to adapt to it. I know exactly when my body goes from ‘this feels cold’ to actually being cold and at risk of hypothermia.

I am this guy. I get warm so fucking quick. It'll be -10c outside but the moment I walk up a flight of stairs I'll be sweating

When I was in undergrad, I used to walk to and from my jujutsu dojo a mile away from my dorm. The way back had a big hill leading up to my dorm; I would start out at the bottom wearing a big coat and end up at the top with the coat tied around my waist! The weight of the winter gear and the difficulty of trudging through fresh snow just makes it that much more of a workout.

I've discovered my body's secret to cold immunity is going backpacking with a hammock and no under quilt when the lows are in the 20s, with a sleeping bag that lied about its rated temperature.

ahh yes fellow hammock camper, i gave up at 3am, started a fire and stumbled around in the dark with a headlamp trying to gather more wood.

proper clothing and central heating are relatively new inventions.

central heating, yes, but proper clothing? I think you're underestimating how effective animal hides can be...

and while we didn't have "central heating" as you're referring, we did have "central fire" (a big fire pit in the middle of a round house or similar) 😅

I was insufficiently prepared for the first night in a camping hammock.

It was at a music festival in West Virginia on a mountain top.

90s (32-34) during the day, 50 ( 10c ) maybe at night.

Dewpoint somewhere inbetween with nearly 100% humidity.

The party favors don’t help my lack of sleep but I almost drowned AND got hypothermia in that thing over night lmao

I can do just scarf, gloves, and summer clothes. When it gets really cold a long sleeve shirt and heated gloves. Its actually great. get legs splashed with muddy slush by a car? grab some clean snow and use it to wipe off your legs.

Yeah, unless the lows are in the 70s or above, and under quilt is necessary.

I made the right choice buying REIs structured hammock, because I ended up using it on the ground as a tent.

I saw a guy like that in a blizzard last week

That, or they've recently moved from somewhere much colder and still haven't acclimated to the new temperature range. I was this guy for a solid year after moving back home when I'd spent two years living much further north and getting used to a far colder climate while I was at college. 15 years later, my feet start getting cold if I don't wear heavier socks and boots when it dips below 20°C, but I also don't feel like I'm sweating enough to flood my apartment when it starts pushing 40°C in the summer any more.

Keep the core warm

That’s only -4°F for the yanks. No biggie if it’s not too windy. We ski in that all the time.
