Any maybe winters not cold enough people would appreciate some warmth
listen here, canadian, you may like it when your extremities hurt from how fucking cold it is, and love sweating because you have to wear layers to not freeze, but your nose is still cold, but some of us actually like feeling like we're warm enough and being ok with things being bright, visible, welcoming and comfortable.
Too hot? just stay indoors between 11 to 3 and you'll be fine.
EDIT: Unlike those random ass non summer months when it can rain or be shittier than usual at random, we know when it's too fucking hot or so sunny it will burn you; it's the same fucking time every day.
Too cold? Put on more clothes until you're warm and cozy.
Too hot? Keep taking off clothes until you're just a sweaty naked mess begging for the sweet release of death.
I got 3 layers on inside and my hands are still chilled and my feet bounce from being cold to being sweaty so I'm constantly taking my socks on and off. I was sitting in my office at work with my coat and jacket on for 3 hours yesterday before I got back up to a comfortable temperature after being outside. Also everything just fucking hurts all the time. Fuck this shit. I don't have issues like this in summer.
Too cold? Put on more clothes until you’re warm and cozy.
again, different parts are difficult to keep warm, like my nose or my hands and feet. How the fuck am I meant to type with thick gloves on?
Also, the differing levels of activity and transitions make it awkward, I'm dressed in a thick coat because its cold, and my core starts to get warm because I'm walking , but my arms would be freezing, and when I get to my destination I take of my coat and stench bomb wherever the fuck I am
As opposed to being too hot all over and desperate for anything that gives the slightest momentary relief. Not being able stand any activity because movement just makes you hotter and the heat has sapped your will to live. Being sweaty all over no matter what you do because it's all your body can do to keep you alive.
Our bodies generate heat. When trying to warm up, physics is on our side. When trying to cool down, we are fighting a losing battle. You're worrying about typing in gloves while I'm trying to figure how to waterproof my whole system so I can work from my shower.

Stay inside from 11-3? More like stay inside from May-September.
I never stop sweating for like four months of the year and hate it.

Good thing no one works outdoors and every building has A/C.
It sucks to work outdoors full stop. You think they prefer it cold or rainy?

Summer? When things are green? I can get strawberries from our garden? It isn’t dark at 4:30 in the afternoon? I don’t have to scrape ice off the car while it preheats idling?
That atrocious season?
Yes, that season with 40°C (104°F) and up to 90% humidity, where you can't be outside in the sun for a quarter of the available daylight if you don't want to die young, and the only way to fight the heat is AC.

No. It's the nice weather and long days.
If you count nice weather as scorching hot air that's difficult to breathe in, nonstop blinding sunlight, rarely any precipitation to cool things down, and for all that pain to last like 16 hours of the day, then sure, that's nice weather. Not to mention the million bugs constantly trying to get you.
Summer used to be nicer, though. Before the climate crisis made it unbearable.
Winter being more fun, because there actually was snow for downhill sports is pure nostalgia from when I was a kid. I can agree on that. But summer was great if you had access to a lake or pool.
This is true, luckily where I live we still get a ton of snow(lake effect) so I can continue to enjoy winter(except for the driving) hopefully for a while longer. Summer has unfortunately become unbearable though, getting between 90°f-110°f for weeks on end with unbelievably high humidity has been nothing but pain.

Two words.
Summer nights.
Warm, but not too hot, beautiful and calming.
Winter can fuck off until it brings sensible amount of snow.
Fall can fuck off fully as I hate rain.
On the fence about Spring. Sometimes it's Fall lite, sometines it's Summer Nights daylight version.
Damn. Your take on fall saddens me. Where I come from fall is the driest season of the year. The chill finally starts to settle in the air and the leaves start to change and a steady light breeze starts in due to the leaves dropping from the trees.
A wet fall on the other hand sounds miserable.

I love summer because it's the only season that's consistently not cold, and I hate being cold more than I hate being hot.
Yeah, being hot sucks but drink water and snack and you'll survive. Being extremely cold is PAIN. That said I much prefer spring. Warm days, cool nights, and rain is pretty neat.

people who say they like [other season] are lying to themselves. It is objectively correct to like [poster's favorite season]
God I love summer. Hard to go to the lake when it's frozen. Can't go hiking in the mud during spring or fall. Camping when it's 35 sucks. Just relaxing outside for hours in the 20s isn't ideal. Summer is amazing.
Same, drink plenty of water and you're fine. I'll take the warm weather over the cold any day of the year. Cold sucks, because all your doing is trying to stay warm.

Plants are doing their thing.
Life is abundant.
Idk who the fuck actually thinks “yes winter thank god”
No bugs.

Sun is still out but isn't a deadly laser.
Hot cocoa by a crackling fire.

Texas weather sucks all year. It's so hot you'll die in an hour in the summer and the wind makes it cold as shit even in fall.

God I love winter. Love to go snowshowing on the lake when it’s frozen. Can’t go hiking in the mud during spring or fall. Camping when it’s 95 sucks. Just relaxing outside for hours in the 20s is ideal. Winter is amazing.

I am currently living in Romania, where summer will kill you and winter will also kill you
My house is 100 years old and my heating consists of three electric heaters, two wooden stoves and ~~a partridge in a pear tree~~ air conditioning
EDIT: My greatgrandparents built the house themselves. It is not well-insulated at all. I may realistically have to ditch if it hits like -25°C
Fuck summer and winter, two sides of the same shitty extremes coin. Fall, and to a lesser extent spring, are where it's at.

God I love autumn. Can chill by the lake with a picnic basket and wait for the stars to come out. Camping when it's pleasantly cool. Plus those fresh orange leaves, and the beetles in the firelight. Autumn is amazing.
“Hot take” - lol. Sorry, couldn’t help but giggle at the dad joke..
I love summer because the weather is nice and I get good sunlight and that feels nice. I can walk to work in a cotton shirt instead of a waterproof parka. The rest of the year where I live is constant grey and drizzle. We don't even get fun winter shit like snow here, just grey and wet and cold.
BULLSHIT! We get longer daylight, and the sweat is just a gentle reminder that you aren't in constant pain from temperatures below 60F. Also there are less snowbirds jamming the roadways.

I love summer, but this does kind of make sense. I live in Korea, where they have a long winter break (Christmas until March) from school. People here seem to love winter, which is usually absolutely frigid and miserable.
...is it common for people in the northern hemisphere to not get time off school during winter?
Often a week or two around Christmas time. When I was in school 30 years ago, we got nothing.
But summer vacation was 3 months long.

My wife works for the schools and still has summer off. I have two kids in high school and one in college. All summer off. I hate summer. I'm going snow camping the week after Christmas though. Without them.
