Lifehack for cold weather: wear pajama pants under your pants, it's like longjohns but cheaper and worse
pulling out all my new england life hacks from college to survive this florida cold snap. remember, sweaters are a middle layer, and all those cute moodboards of people wearing sweaters as outerwear are traps sent by the deceiver to ruin your life
stack your socks from thinnest to thickest and you can probably wear three pairs at a go.
this probably also holds for pants but i haven't tried.
burning the rich for warmth is tremendously fuel inefficient, but burning the possessions of the rich is potentially carcinogenic depending on how much plastic's involved. Stick to the former.
also, if it's icy where you are, remember step from flat to flat, don't go splat. Step down a slope? nope, nope, nope.
@FStewartT I always remember the mainstream white feminist hashtag #LeanIn as a reminder on how to walk on ice
@shel this makes more sense than when people would say to 'walk like a penguin' oh like grow completely different shaped feet? thanks.
@FStewartT penguins I always imagine walk straight up too and they waddle and at just generally not what you wanna do you wanna walk like you’re a cartoonish villain hunched forward hatching plans
@shel yeah i /think/ what they meant is 'don't pick your feet up' but penguins actually have really good posture, it's not a transferable skillset
@FStewartT but you do wanna pick your feet up or you’ll slide
@shel ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@shel there's a reason i left your frigid world, i don't understand it at all.
@FStewartT it’s -25F Friday night and I do not blame you
@shel jesus christ rest in peace your whole state
@FStewartT it’s been -45F in Minnesota apparently and I don’t know how society hasn’t just shut down temporarily to hibernate
@shel any number of degrees which isn't also a plausible age for a living person should be illegal
@shel 'think of this icy hellscape as your board room, and Lean! In!'
