They'll both be wrong half the day.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nope, that’s the point of layers. Adjustable.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

That's how I get to be wrong more than half the day. The sun knows when the jacket goes back on.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep, forecast today: somewhere between 5 and 25 °C.

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

So shorts weather all day? Sounds good.

In the UK you'll often see teenage boys wearing big thick black jackets in the peak of summer. Even when it can be in the mid 30Cs. I've no idea what drives them to make such decisions.

[–] VirgilMastercard@reddthat.com 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Black North Face jackets, almost every lad from the ages of 14-35 has one lol

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep! Although it's usually teenagers that wear them in totally absurd conditions.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

They think it's something to be respected to suffer for cool or what is going on.

I wonder if it's a style thing, or for hiding things that a roadman might need.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

It's almost definitely knives.

While when I visited the UK in October/November way back, every geezer over the age of 50 ran around in shorts. Even when it was like 10C. I've no idea what drives them to make such decisions.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

I'm way under 50 but I'll be wearing shorts until October or November! My legs don't feel the cold as much as the rest of my body and it's just more comfortable than wearing trousers.

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shit, I'd wear a jacket too if it was somehow in the 30s in June.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Really? How warm would it have to be for you to not wear a jacket?

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 10 points 1 month ago

Some context for my joke: I'm an American.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

If the stereotype is accurate, I'm thinking knives.

[–] vale@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

at least I don't have to worry about that!

*cries in 36⁰C highs*

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

They’re both wrong. Left is going to be chilly when the sun goes down and right is going to be hot during the day.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 9 points 1 month ago

Today's Weather:

Yes, with a chance of probably in the late afternoon, followed by a 50% chance of overnight definitely.

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 6 points 1 month ago

Its such a pain choosing what to wear but this season makes it EVEN WORSE

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I am too confident, my thought is always "this person is going to die from heat/cold!" And rarely "did I make mistake?"

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Quebec has a song just about that. https://youtu.be/_whvVXX0hCk? Basic, whenever it looks cold, I look outside and ask whoever wear a pullover ' hey izzit cold? Are you good in that pullover?"

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn’t that the point of layers?

[–] Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes but then you'll have to carry these layers around with you :(

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month ago

Has using sleeves to tie around waist come back yet? I never stopped but I’ve seen young people wearing grunge stuff again.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

They don't seem to have heard of weather reports.

One person wakes up at 11:00 AM when the sun is at the highest to do absolutely nothing besides a walk in the park and spending their neet bucks in Starbucks

Second person wakes up at 6 AM when it is cold outside, and works hard whole day to pursue their dreams.
