Unethical life pro tip: get an apartment that isn't at the end of a hallway and has floors above and below. In some cases, you can turn off your heat completely and simply steal heat from your neighbors, leeching off of them like some sort of thermal mosquito. It won't be as warm as is comfortable without bundling up, but it may be warm enough to get by just by bundling up. Watch out for freezing pipes though!

For an added techno bonus: install a smart thermostat connected to a camera pointed at the door with facial recognition tech built in. If anyone other than the residents walk in, the thermostat is automatically reset to 72F/22C. That way if you DO burst a pipe, and the landlord walks in, they won't have any proof you did it!

my apartment is like this and it heats up to like 80°F without any thermostat setting even when it's below freezing outside

[–] [email protected] 1 points 24 minutes ago

A smart thermostat would likely have record of the set and actual temperatures.

Blood circulation in my hands breaks down completely when I get cold, so no. I will not be turning down the heat.

Must be fun not to have any sensitivity issues and also live somewhere so south that a sweater is enough.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago

Except for baby, kids, convalescente people, handicap people, eldery, and people with a very cold floor and wall that offset the overall room temperature.
This is just extrastrong ableism.

Just don't be poor. I haven't lowered my temp... Ever. If I can't wear shorts in my own house, I'm not interested.

This meme brought to you by a child in California that doesn't know what real winter is. It was 20 something here last night and this dipshit thinks a sweater is gonna keep you alive though that.

I live in Canada and tbh I'm with the Chad on this.

Not saying "turn off your furnace" but energy use (and cost) baloons exponentially based on how hot you have your thermostat set at. Lower your thermostat to the point where wearing a sweater indoors is enough and save money. It's not even just about the money, it'sresponsible energy usage.

And I'd be happy to subsidize the first X GJ/mo to help people keep themselves from freezing, but if people want their apartment to be the tropics that's gotta be on their dime.

Same with electricity. I'll subsidize keeping your lights on but I'm not paying you to mine crypto.

Just set your thermostat to 60 instead of 70

[–] [email protected] 1 points 31 minutes ago

His entire point is no heat just sweaters.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

20 something

Sweater wont keep you alive

Wait till you hear about the latest tech: two sweaters!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I'm wearing two sweaters even though it's only 10C (50F) here. I've never lived somewhere where it gets very cold, so this is very cold to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Two T-shirts, think thin layers

To be fair, you could wear winter gear 24/7. I lived like that for a bit. The real reasons we need heating are structural decay and pets. Pipes burst below 55 and pets don't do well below 65.

There are real reasons to heat your house besides just wanting to be warm.

I'm in the UK and have managed to get this far this year using just jumpers and the heat generated from folding at home on a couple PCs.

Nearly caved last week when temps dropped to around 0 but then i found my slippers

Okay, I need some help here, where on earth can I find comfy hot inner slippers that doesn't disintegrate after a year or two?

Edit: size 13 or 47 :-)

Kind of ugly and expensive, is the quality still there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 27 minutes ago

I've got some that look like these: https://uggonline.com.au/products/short-classic-ugg-boots that do a good job keeping my feet warm. Got them as a gift about 10 years ago. Not sure if the're stil las good or not.

Just embrace the cold and build up your brown fat which burns calories to keep you warm so you can eat pizza all day and stay skinny*.

  • Not really but sorta

Must be nice living somewhere where you don't even know that pipes can freeze.
