[The Escapist Staff]

Question of the Day, September 8, 2010



The AC was off in The Escapist headquarters today, resulting in a bunch of sweaty, complaining staff members. However, there were a few of us that welcomed the oppressive heat, preferring a warmer clime over the typical frostiness of our office. This made us wonder: is it better to be too hot or too cold? Why?

Too cold, as it's easier to get warm then it is to get cool.

I'd rather be too cold.

You can always put more clothes on when it gets chilly.

You can't always take clothes off if it's too hot, you'll run out of clothes fairly fast, plus if it's too hot, taking off clothes isn't going to do much anyway.

I'd gladly be colder than hotter. If gives me an excuse to wear gloves, scarves, hats... All the accessories I love

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

HEY! Us too! It's better to be too cold. you can always put more clothes on. Stripping in public is frowned upon, so I can't even take my shirt off at the office to cool off

Words out of my mouth.
The only way this could be considered not a '/Thread' was with the argument for bikini-clad ladies.

Too hot. It's a lot easier to cool down than to warm up.

 

[Marter]

I like being cold, so I'd definitely prefer it over heat.

Being cold, that is manageable, because you don't tend to sweat, I hate sweating. Plus it can take seconds to heat up and several minutes to cool down.

I find it a lot easier to warm up than cool down. Just throw on a sweater?

That only works if you've got a sweater available.

Too Cold by far

I can't sleep unless my room is under 60° and the colder the better, This morning when I woke up it was around 30° in my room.

on the other side I hate the heat and it affects my asthma in bad ways and make me miserable
I hated the heat when I lived out in California, luckily now I moved back to Michigan

Too cold if I'm not already wearing 2 or 3 jumpers I always have another in my bag or lying around. Not to mention my hobo gloves.

 

[GeneticallyModifiedDucks]

Bring on the cold!

I am so glad summer is over.

[dlharp2]

definitely cold. no wait, yep I'd rather be hot. Nope cold................hot.

 

[lomylithruldor]

I prefer when it's too cold, but if you ask most people in Quebec, they'll say too cold in summer and too hot in winter. Well, we have a big difference between summer and winter here. In winter, outside can be at -30°C and in summer, it can go to 35°C without humidity.

Well, in lieu of a sweater, you could use a duvet or similar items, or just move around (body heat is wonderful ^_^). There are plenty of options to choose from.
The only way I can think of to cool down quickly is taking a cold shower.
