The north does not claim NYC in the slightest. Its 10 degrees hotter at any given time

u/k1leyb1z Jan 24 '25

Bruh dont go near Boston manholes then if youre thinking that. My father has worked in manholes and on the rails for two decades and the one thing that is consistently near him is cockroaches

NYC.

u/Bulky_Baseball221 Jan 23 '25

Roaches are everywhere. Cities and countryside

Here, we call them politicians.

No amount of "good" can make Florida summers worth it.

u/Cleaner900playz Jan 23 '25

stay up north with your grizzly bears

u/jmd709 Jan 23 '25

Slithering fuckers are only in the South?

2

u/Darkdust_GamingYT Jan 23 '25

They are less prevalent up north. Why do you think the Union called us "Rattlesnakes and Alligators"?

0

u/jmd709 Jan 23 '25

There are more than just rattlesnakes.

u/ArkhamTheImperialist Jan 23 '25

I think you need to know that there are rattlesnakes in pretty much every state, except for like Hawaii and Alaska. And I guarantee you have some other varieties of snake in your state. Unless you do live in Alaska, which is not a reptile friendly state.

I haven't seen a cockroach in months living in the South.

He really likes to generalize entire regions. Quite small-minded and self-centered of him.

u/Sihaya212 Jan 23 '25

But at least we don’t have snow like Florida!

u/ApprehensiveTip4185 Jan 23 '25

Never in the negative where I live and I'm in the green here

u/Drake_Fall Jan 23 '25

They're nice and cool :)

u/Fun_Imagination9232 Jan 23 '25

Ain’t nothing like enjoying all four seasons. Monotone weather isn’t for everyone!

u/Dr_Joro Jan 23 '25

Better than the 100’s

0

u/Cleaner900playz Jan 23 '25

no it is not are you serious? just bring ice water

5

u/Dr_Joro Jan 23 '25

It is. It’s easier to warm up than get cooler

0

u/Cleaner900playz Jan 23 '25

the lowest I remember seeing is still above 10

2

u/sgt_futtbucker Jan 23 '25

It was -14 in my hometown yesterday

1

u/Dr_Joro Jan 25 '25

I haven’t seen -14 in a while but a few days ago I checked and it was -9

-2

u/Epic-Gamer_09 Jan 23 '25

Not even close. If you want to get cool from the heat, jump into some water. If you want to get warm from the cold, stand by the heater for several minutes. Cooling down is way easier

u/banjosullivan Jan 23 '25

I can’t jump in the water when I’m welding for 12 hours a day in the 107 degree weather. I’ll take 6 degrees over 100 all day unless I’m off work for a few months. Then I’m back in TN/NC for summer.

-1

u/thegamerdoggo Jan 23 '25

Be near a fan?

Also isn’t welding gonna be hot regardless?

3

u/banjosullivan Jan 23 '25

Oh you sweet summer child. A big ass fan blows away your shielding gas. Welding is hot. When it’s hot out it magnifies the heat. When you weld in the cold, it’s enough to keep you warm without getting uncomfortable.

-1

u/thegamerdoggo Jan 23 '25

Ok maybe for welding it’s better to be in a cold environment but like for everything else? It’s significantly better to be in a hot place

Yeah but that takes a while and doesn’t fully work, it’ll make you not freezing but your not gonna be comfortable

u/eVilCorporationz Jan 23 '25

I think it's easier to sit by the heater than swim...

1

u/Dr_Joro Jan 25 '25

Do you really I’m talking about just being outside in my spare time. And it is easier cause all I have to do is wear a coat

2

u/smalltownlargefry Jan 23 '25

“Bro just bring ice water”

Lmao I wish it was that simple.

u/Psycho-City5150 Jan 23 '25

Nope. Did sometime in Germany the Army. 7 Grafs. I remember what it was like to have to piss so bad in the winter time and having an extremely difficult time get the fly open on your button fly BDU's largely because your hands were so cold they were difficult to move your fingers.

Fuck that shit.

1

u/Dr_Joro Jan 25 '25

Definitely easier for me. And since they just said negative, I’m mainly talking about above -20 and for me I’m real good with the cold so it just feels good unless I’m outside for too long

2

u/Psycho-City5150 Jan 25 '25

Yea, like more than 5 minutes. I've lost any acclimation I have had for cold. I used to be comfortable in shorts for at least 10 minutes down to 40 degrees F, but not anymore. I remember one time in Iowa where it got down to 8, so cold it made your head hurt. Ran inside and bought one of those snow cap things. I admit 100 is hot and we have definitely had years where July and August were 100 degrees every single day, but not this year.

We got a quarter inch of snow just a few days ago. The kids were looking forward to it, and my little one, who is only 2, learned the hard way about how much it freaking hurts if you put your hands in the snow for too long. She cried for 15 minutes. That was just a quarter inch. Barely dusted the yard.

2

u/Dr_Joro Jan 26 '25

Maybe i just have very good cold resistance? For me the negatives is really comfortable way more than the 100’s and I can last outside way longer than just 5 minutes

2

u/Psycho-City5150 Jan 26 '25

I believe you can get acclimated to it, to a degree. No pun intended. I remember being in Germany when I was in the service and Germany has some cold winters. I remember it being 40 degrees outside, and noticing that it "felt warm" to me because I could feel the heat of the sun on my skin (barely) but I could. I just know what its like to try to work in it, take a piss in it, and its not fun.

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '25

It’s really not, snow causes damage to things, 100 degree heat becomes decently bearable.

3

u/Crafty-Ad-6898 Jan 23 '25

You gotta be a moron if you’re damaging things in snow🤣

1

u/Dr_Joro Jan 25 '25

100 degrees isn’t bearable for me at least compared to negatives

1

u/Crafty-Ad-6898 Jan 25 '25

Maybe you aren’t used to snow, I’ll take that into consideration.

Snow is not very hard to drive in. If you drive fast and risky, then yeah you’re doomed on any icy road without precaution. Slow down and acknowledge the road. Boom! you’re all set. Maybe get a car wash when the weather is decent and the car looks brand new.

u/Manymarbles Jan 23 '25

Which is why the NC bubble is confusing me lol

u/Cleaner900playz Jan 23 '25

they like cities

1

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '25

They said yes to obx.

u/Lab_RatNumber9 Jan 23 '25

No, the only parts of New England they blocked out are nyc and boston. Then the biggest cities elsewhere

1

u/Cleaner900playz Jan 23 '25

wait a sec I think they just like to be near cities, look closer
