I’m assuming you’re all from a place where society collectively decided to burn energy 24/7 to control the temperature in the whole house instead of just putting on or removing a layer of clothing… in about 90% of the world the reason is just because it’s cold or hot outside, then it’s a bit cold or a bit hot inside as well.
I say “morning is not as cold as the night” and the comments are about fabric, then the person does not know thermostats are an exception and not a rule… and yeah, I find the normalization of the idea of burning energy to control the house temperature 24/7 disturbing - you find it normal? let’s hope other societies don’t, because we’d have to destroy way more of the world just to produce the energy.
you layered yourself in blankets
the other person is trying to help you make choices about your fabric choices because they affect both your perceived and your actual body temperature and help equalize your comfort between morning and night
they suggested a solution which ACTUALLY FITS YOUR WORLD VIEW of using less electricity or fossil fuels for comfort purposes and you berate them for it.
also, the idea that using energy for climate control is evil is an odd take IMO. not everybody lives in a temperate climate! people would literally die if you just deleted every HVAC system on the planet. and as much as I think it’s silly that Phoenix, AZ exists, the concept of forcibly displacing people from their current home is often frowned upon.
i thought the other guy saying you’d be fun at parties was going a bit far at first, but now I have to agree. There’s no need to be this argumentative or unreasonable and contrarian. unless you’re a misanthrope in which case carry on i suppose?

So your complaint is that the sun comes up every morning?

You’re on an English speaking forum. Yes, climate control is normal for most here. This is rage bait.

Well, you seem like a delight to be around.
