Nah. Lake + beach + half naked ladies.
I go fishing so much over the summer. Also, it was a bit cooler weather when I was a kid.
if you wanna see naked people you can go to a nudist beach
Don’t go to a nudist beach for the purpose of seeing naked people.
That’s creepy.
Also, you will see all kinds of naked people.
Not in the winter.
Not with that attitude!

Not cringe, actually
You might want to change your perspective of life cause this is just sad
The guys are even more half-naked.
Awwww some dude admitted he liked boobies and this has hurt your feminine view of the world 😭
Touch grass. You people need to interact with real people more.
The only thing I hate about this post is associating prudeness to feminism.
Many, many women are fine with showing off their bodies, on the beach or otherwise. And yes, I agree with you on the idea it’s fine for people to like that image. Feminism would just be about giving women control of the decision to show themselves off, not about claiming “sexy images = Male-gaze-powered, and therefore toxic”
Indeed! We must give all adults of all genders the right to determine what they can do with their bodies…
SHowing it off or not…

get bent
Good advice… but I’m way ahead of you. I’m not even sure there’s even a word for how bent I already am.
Folded? Creased? Rolled?
I dont know who this guy is behind me that is bending me right now but I would like to sincerely thank them . They probably read Druid@lemmy.zip’s comment and they just tryna help me out… wonderfull…
Wait… theyre doing a bit more than just bending me over-Hnrgnth
Cringe
I think it depends on where you live. I have visited places where summer is the best season. I live where summer is the worst season.
and where exactly are these different places cause now Im curious?

Im SERIOISLY curious as to how the homeless people and addicts in Siberia , Alaska , Nordic countries , and northern uk survive… ESPECIALLY when winter rolls around…
I think that finland made a change to their laws to allow all adults who request a small apartment get one promptly.
But what about the other people I mentioned?..

Where I live, winter means:
- Freezing cold weather.
- Snow/slush/ice/sleet/freezing rain.
- Bad road conditions.
- Cloudy skies.
- No sunshine for days or weeks at a time.
- Cold/flu season.
- Gets dark outside at/before 5pm.
I hate all those things. I love summer because it’s the opposite.
Also, you basically can’t go outside. Sure, you can go from a heated building to a heated vehicle then into a different heated building. Or, when it isn’t too cold you can do certain sports outside. But, even going for a walk means putting on a huge number of layers, and then trudging through snow which slows you down, trips you up, and gives you very little traction.
Not to mention that never being able to open a window means no nature sounds for months on end. The cold and snow means no sight of living nature (other than pine trees) for months.
It’s also extremely difficult and dangerous to bike (at least here) so you either need to own a car, spend a lot on taxis / lyft, or spend nearly as long as it would take to walk and take public transit.
If I lived somewhere where winter lasted 1-2 months I might enjoy it. But, where I live it’s 5+ months, and I fucking hate it.
Fairbanks, Alaska?
Nope, Canada.
Also archaeologival evidence confirmed that humans did ‘some’ hibernation during the winter months…
It was too dangerous and uncomfortable to just go out and about during the winter cause you could freeze to death, slip on ice and get injured, since visibility is decreased you are more vulnerable to other humans wjo wanted to steal from you or do you in AND animals too, you could starve to death since there was fewer plants to pick from and fewer animals to hunt. People in neolithic eras didnt really hibernate completrly like bears but rsther entered a state of ‘tupor’ where they did FAAAR less during the winter months until it cleared up in late spring. ‘Why put yourself at risk and be uncomfortable too?’ is probably what theyre thinking.
We cant do a siimilar thing today? Im not saying nobody goes to work during those months but it I feel we would be happier overall if it is accepted that people go to work and go to outings faaar less during the winter months. Im pretty sure in some superarctic parts of Alaska and Siberia that this is already done. I havent read of it being done there but Id find it hard to believe they dont already…
Personally, I love summer for cycling but hate it otherwise, detest winter, dislike autumn, and adore spring 😁
THANK YOU.
A good winter night walk can’t be beat. Layer up just right. Enjoy a silence unrivaled. Enjoy a sky so clear the starlight makes the snow glow.
…uhhh…what type of boots do you own that allow you to go on frequent winter night walks please?
A pair of socks, with a second good pair of wollen socks help. But you just gotta make yourself ok with being cold. It’s really not so bad if you keep moving.
Yep, key is to stay moving.
thata why you should always attempt to eat a MASSIVE bulking meal before goong out in the winter , or even whenever its cold too to be honest. ALl those extra calories get burned as you move around and keep you warm. You and the people youre going with need to find some way to get some warmness inside you.
Drinking coffee? Add lard
Eating cereal in milk ? Lard!
Eating grits? lard
Drinking water? Believe it or not, lard!
Licking her out? … Lard?
Extra calories can go a long way in making things warmer. 😋
I wish it got dark at 5 PM, peak winter is 3 PM here :(
Summer holiday: its probably to hot for school. Winter holiday: its probably too snowy to get to school safely. Easter holiday: go pretend to care about religion instead of school. Autumn holiday: go help your family get ready for winter instead of school.
So time off was never part of the equation.
You saw snow? I’m in my 40s in Southern California, and I can confidently say that I’ve only witnessed snowfall a handful of times before it completely melted away. Throw a snowball for me?
In my country at least, summer holidays were used to help bringing in the harvest.
I don’t mind being hot. I hate being cold.
If you’re cold you can always put on another layer. If you’re hot, you run out of layers to take off
You can always take off more layers
I can put 15 layers on in winter and still be cold. My toes and face are the worst. If I try to protect my nose, I get snot everywhere and it’s gross. If I don’t, I feel like my face will freeze off my body. Too hot sucks as well. No winning for me except for spring maybe.
Yeah, cold all the time, barely see the sun because I’m at work the entire time it’s out. Can’t do much of anything outside, roads are frequently shit, can’t get together as much with my friends because none of our homes are big enough, think about offing myself constantly because of the above factors, winter blows.
Every reason you gave was because of capitalism
Capitalism is making it cold outside?
Cold air damming increases with climate change, so unironically yes.
Climate change
It would still be cold if there was zero pollution.
The cold is only an issue because capitalism, yes. Fwiw, “it’s cold outside” is a neutral statement.
No it’s an issue because I fucking hate being cold. I’d still hate it if the government was taking care of my needs. It’s not like I’m living on the streets, I’m living in a house with HVAC, I still fucking hate it.
Oh, well that wasn’t said. If you could be with your friends, got to see the sun, the roads were easy and third spaces managed, you wouldn’t notice how miserable the outside is for you. Also you could just move somewhere warmer instead of thinking about offing yourself for 1/3 of a year.
Also you could just move somewhere warmer instead of thinking about offing yourself for 1/3 of a year.
Unless they need you exactly where your job is so you won’t get an apartment in another city somewhere where it’s warmer. Perks of a planned economy.
Like I’m fairly sure half the soviet union would’ve moved to somewhere around the black sea if they could have.
Yeah I’ve asked my mom, it was cold here in the winter in the soviet era too. And I believe a lot of people had these things called “jobs”, except they were even less voluntary than they are now, so being at work for the entirety of the sunny daytime period of 10 AM to 3 PM hasn’t exactly been invented with capitalism.
The one thing capitalism has changed is it gathered everyone into the cities because there’s a lot less support of small countryside schools and such. So instead of walking 5 KM to bus stop to take the bus to school, kids can now take a city bus that stops closer to their home and comes every 30 minutes at most.
There’s a bunch of problems you could solve by abolishing capitalism, but weather ain’t one of them.
they were even less voluntary than they are now
People that don’t have jobs today lose their housing and starve to death. You think there’s a level below that?
And no, what caused that was mechanization of farming.
Now, thanks to capitalism, we’re dealing with heatwaves beyond predictions and snowstorms that out freeze historic data, so I wouldn’t say that capitalism isn’t impacting the weather. Also, before it, people had the ability to take breaks from work, which doesn’t really exist today.
My hands feel like they’re being crushed by boulders, and face feels like needle face x1000 in the cold. The peak of summer may be miserable but I can still function without extreme pain. And before anybody mentions better gloves or a face covering, it doesn’t help. I’ve tried every magical glove in existence. And heated ones make me sweat after 5-10 minutes and I’m arguably in a worse position, same with full face coverings. FUCK WINTER.
I don’t mind being hot but I hate humidity. It’s 7am and the temperature is 67 with a “feels like” temperature of 77. And there is no breeze. There is never any breeze here. I fucking hate it
Real talk! I grew up on the equator and moved to somewhere it snows on occasion. All the mfers saying “I can only get so naked” haven’t experienced the cold.
The fuck’s a “season”?
Vietnam does not use the metric system? Prolly then the only victory the US achieved in the Vietnam war lol
They do, but I’m from America so I use whatever.
Also we have kinda do seasons here, right now it’s “wet”, meaning in the highlands it tends to be drizzly and clouds more often, and you get 1-2 15 minute showers, and in the low lands, it’s sunny all day, and you get absolutely dumped on for 15-30 minutes in the late afternoon and sometimes in the morning.
Same thing happens in Nigeria Ive heard. I think that many countries near the equator also have seasons that look like this too.
Yes, equatorial areas only have wet and dry seasons, but they tend to be too hot, up here in the mountains, it’s always nice.
In the mountains at the equator…
I didnt actuallt think about the fact that its cooler in the mountains even at the equator so I was always curious as to why large numbers of people near the equator chose to live im such places. I thought they mainly did it cause up in the mountains the view is prettier.
But the heat of the equator gets mellowed out a bit by the heightened level into the atmosphere… so…
up in the mountains the view is prettier.
You’re not wrong.
Is there a place like this but like 40°F and moist?
Mostly islands in the antarctic ocean or north atlantic, off alaska, and a few in the Andes if you prefer mountains.
I LOVE summer.
I HATE the feeling of cold on my skin. Even just a little bit.
100 degrees farenheit? Bring it. I’ll take it over being even a little cold.
The heat means I can hang out naked. It means I can jump in the river. I means I can go camping. It means I can do anything but sit inside and freeze my ass off all winter in the darkness.
I only feel complete between May-September.
You’re going to love the future.
Sounds like you’d be a good fit in Arizona or Ecuador or Belize or Central America
Currently camping in Scotland with temperatures ranging 7-20°c over the 24h cycle. It’s fantastic. We die when we do it in southern Europe summer. The problem is the price you pay in winter for those mild summers…
As someone who hates the cold, gonna have to disagree on it being a bad season. As much as I hate the bees/wasps/mosquitoes, I hate the Devil’s Dandruff ( snow ) and the ice that follows with it more.
I can handle the higher heat, but struggle a lot more with the cold.
Personally, I’m over-insulated (fat), naturally run hot and sweaty even besides that, and am from a Nordic country so I suffer in anything over 20°C (68F).
Except when cycling outdoors, then I PREFER it hot, easily tolerating over 30C (86F) as long as I have plenty of water, sugar, and electrolytes 😁
I liked summer back when it was the only season that was tolerable to be outside in as a kid living in the Northeast. Now it’s the only season where I live that’s intolerable to be outside in so I’m all good on it.
I didn’t change. Fucking summer changed. There’s a South Pacific hurricane season now. Everyone’s talking about climate change like it’s a distant threat. The climate has already changed. I whine about it very little because most localities have it way worse than we do in southern California.
People say its a ‘distant threat’ cause the IPCC has confirmed tjat for the NEXT 200 YEARS greenhouse gases will have notable negative effect on most of humanity, ESPECIALLY those who live near the equator and they say we wont hit apocalytic levels of ‘bad’ until the next 50 or so years so…

Spring is my favourite season. When you get the first warm day after a depressing winter and the new leaves are growing and the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
We got summer in spring this year. In fact I think we got summer in winter (February) this year too.
Mmmm, pollen. The plants are having sex in my nose.
Plus not many bugs yet
Right there with you.
Summer has been pretty brutal this year, just so ungodly humid. Fortunately a dehumidifier costs a lot less to run than air conditioning.
And fall is ok temp wise, and the smells and colors are nice, but all the work of raking leaves and shit sucks big time. Especially when you have trees that don’t drop until the very tail of fall, after the brutal cold has started.
The good thing about my part of London is all the trees have been cut down. So we don’t have wildlife anymore, but at least we don’t have to rake leaves /s
When I was a kid, summer was max 25 degrees. Perfect! Now it gets above 35 degrees regularly. The actual season did not used to be atrocious (for me).
I like summer because I can wear something skimpy, it’s light out, and it’s just generally the season people tend to be out doing stuff and having fun. I also love spring.
Winter is the worst. It’s too cold, too dark, generally miserable, and everyone just wants to sleep it away. Autumn is fine though
100% agree.
I can wear a t-shirt and shorts pretty much every day without having to look at the weather to know if I need the light jacket, the jacket or the coat, ugh I picked the wrong one, now I’m freezing, or burning to death. Oh crap, I shoulda brought gloves. Where’s THE BEANIE… ughhh… THESE SOCKS ARE TOO DAMN THIN.
I grew up in the northern part of the USA. Summer is also when we didn’t have to bundle up in 8 layers.
A lot of us like sundress / bikini season.
Spring & fall were generally the planting/harvest season so work was a LITTLE lighter in the summer.
All that said, fuck this heat. I’ll take cold any day.
The lowest temp I’ve experienced in my state is -52f. I like summer too. Fall is my favorite though. At least the two weeks of it we get.
You know what else sucks? beaches. By most individual metrics they are a shitshow, but when you add all these ngatives together in peoples minds, they end up with a positive impression somehow. Do I want to go sit in sand in full sun, consume sandy food and lukewarm drinks, with limited access to normal amenities, listening to other peoples dipshit music, closely packed together with pasty bloated whale like humans without clothes? No I dont.
There are ways to make beach time enjoyable. 1) Remember it’s a rare place we’re legally allowed to lay around half naked in public & just loiter doing nothing, and it’s normal & expected behavior. 2) There’s water nearby to cool off & play. 3) Bring things to keep yourself comfortable: blankets towels chairs shade music food beverages whatever. 4) Don’t be a pasty bloated whale-like human. Being fit & healthy makes for a good time everywhere you go, 24/7/365.
Hey now some of us are pasty and semi bloated but the beach is still a good time. Even if it hurts a bit.
Dude, you need to go to a nice beach by a nice hotel. They have chairs set-up for you with umbrellas and someone will walk by and take your food and drink order and your food won’t have sand and the drinks will be cold and you can just walk into the hotel for any amenities and you’ll be with people who know better than to play music at the beach.
Early Autumn/Late Spring is peak.
The height of any season is (usually) bad.
