That's one of the few benefits of being fat.

I am that white man. I’m just not cold, sorry about your luck I guess.

And then there's those of us on the other side of the hemisphere, where december is summer and 30°C is normal everyday temperature.

I literally start shivering at anything below 20°C.

I can go outside in in the snow with shorts and a hoodie, but with sandals on.

but when it gets really really cold I need to have closed-toed shoes on. I usually wear those minimalist toe-shoes when it snows.

All of my heritage comes from places where it's frozen or very cold all year round.

I'm surprised I'm not hacking a dart right now.

This is me. Am white dad on vacation this week. It’s not that cold, like 70F, but there has been chilling rain all week. I’m the guy not only soaked in my shorts and t-shirt among a sea of ponchos, but still sticking my head into the fountains and stuff.

I mean you kinda get used to the cold after a while lol

Arctic creature here. I wear a kilt and t-shirt all year round. Sandals too, unless snow is recent enough that it won't have been cleared from wherever I'll be walking.

I'm also wearing Olukai flip flops.

This is my brother. The weirdo wears shorts as long as it is at least -20 F.
