I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That’s too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?

Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?

Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?

I set it to 291K.

Not sure what that is in feet-degrees or miles or whatever you guys use in Murca.

Edit: changed to CAPITAL K, you nerds.

Edit 2: removed the degree symbol!

There’s no such thing as a degree Kelvin. It’s just 291K.

I have mine at 20~22°C. Not sure what that is in non-standard units… honestly I’d go lower, but then it becomes a hassle for other reasons

Double it and subtract one tenth of the doubled number then add 32. That makes your range 68-72.

Cheap Canadian here…

18C in cold months and down to 15C at night.

Warm months I have central air but don’t turn it on and just live with whatever the temp is.

Dry climates will let you set the temp higher in the summer since your body will cool better.

I have solar/battery and heat pumps so I set my temp to whatever makes my SO happy.

-40 so I don’t have to specify which temperature scale I’m using.
