I have an in-window AC that runs on full blast at night in the summers on top of my whole-house AC. 58 degrees FTabsoluteW.

I set my AC to 26°C (79°F) in summers. As far as I know, most people in my country do somewhere between 20 and 26°C (68~79°F).

I bet you also sleep with a heavy blanket as if it were winter.

I got sick last time I was in the US cause everywhere was like 16°C while outside was like 30-35°C. What's your problem, people?

We love AC. We also realize that it's easier tod add layers than to take them off, when out in public.

Bring a hoodie? 🤷

Wow. I am impressed from where I sit, in a house with the AC set to 66F, sometimes 65, to save energy vs where we might otherwise set it.

People consider 70 ideal, don't they? So 65 is only a saving in winter, you would set a higher temperature than ideal in summer

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it was kind of a joke to say I’d probably like it even colder.

And 65 does just happen to be our default winter setting!
