@heartny@simplersimon I once lived in a place where we were using outhouses where 20 to 40 or so below was the common temperature, including daytime. We only had outhouses. Stuff in there would freeze into pyramids and we’d draw straws as to whom would have the “pleasure” of knocking that stalagmite over.
@awk Fair enough. I guess it’s a matter of family culture? I was raised with “turn down the AC” meaning to adjust the ‘stat to a lower temperature setting.
@awk@ruouttaurmind it’s fine as long as you’re consistent. My mom would say “turn down the air” for both directions. We always had to ask if she wanted it hotter or colder.
I wipe my face and neck with a wet towel and sit in front of a fan (that kind that blows air, not the kind that asks for selfies… I don’t have any of those).

@heartny -11? That pansy. Heck, -40 is where thing start to get fun. That’s when spit freezes before it hits the ground. It’s awesome.

I think you mean turn down the AC.
@ruouttaurmind Noooo you turn up the AC (increase the air conditioning) or turn down the thermostat (lower the temperature).

@simplersimon did you also have to ask “what kind of coke do you want?” That’s a common Southern question.
@djslack @simplersimon First thing I ran into when we moved to Bama. I ended up being served a root beer float… long story, lol.

And on the eighth day, God looked down on Texas and created air conditioning.
@hchavers Hmm… Then God must have hated Texas (and some other states) because on the 9th day brownouts were created.
… live in Minnesota. It doesn’t.

Take an hour-long cold bath! It’s kind of like a swim, only I’m poor.
Go to the mall, or the movies etc. Use someone else’s AC.
Stay in Maine
