These are hilarious. Wow.

I've got this theory about hot and cold. When it's hot, you can slow down, strip, etc. But when it's cold, you just wish you were dead. Sure, you can crank the heat, but you really wonder that humans are not built for cold.

I moved to Alaska last year from Houston, Texas. I have also lived (if you can call it that) in Southern Yemen.

I am absolutely amazed at how the human body can get used to temperature and think them normal. I have been in 135°F and -48°F actual temps, not heat index or wind chill, but real temp.

No. You can always put more clothes on to stay warm,

but you can never take enough clothes off to get cool! :)
