  1. Amen from Canada. 20c is "room temp". 24 is quite toasty, especially if you live somewhere humid.

  2. You already have multiple big tech companies know where you are at all times, your political leanings, your approx income level, your approx medical condition, your sleep patters, your romantic partners, who you communicate with and what you are interested in. Is letting them control your thermostat really a big stretch? We are well past slippery slope time, haha. That ship has sailed.

  3. A comfortable 24c? That's interesting because 24c is bananas where I live. In Canada, 20c (68f) is "room temperature" and 24 is considered ridiculously warm. I forced myself to get used to 22-25c because I used to need it crazy cold at night (17c or colder) and that made it a pain if I stayed somewhere without an AC. That said, what you say at 18:55 is pretty lame. Just because a "few degrees" is no big deal to you, that doesn't at all mean it's the same for anyone else. To state that you couldn't be friends with someone because they are sensitive to temperature is super douchey. I have a very high pain threshold so that's exactly like me saying "Don't be a pussy" if you sprain your ankle and refuse to walk on it. You have one of my favourite channels and normally I love all of your content, but that line was condescendingly smug and I hope you wouldn't actually behave like that in practice.

  4.  @Owen_loves_Butters  2° from 20° is 10%. That's pretty substantial. All of us are around people that always think of room is too cold or too hot when the variances within a couple degrees. And when you say 2° up or down that's actually 4° in total and that's a really big swing.

  5.  @Owen_loves_Butters  % changes are meaningless depending on the unit? Celcius is linear so I don't understand. Why is it meaningless?

  6.  @Owen_loves_Butters  I'll meet you in the middle. You are correct that celsius isn't 1:1 with kinetic energy, but % comparisons in Celsius are definitely not meaningless. If I told you that it was 20°C and the temperature dropped by 50%, you would have a good rough estimate of how warm it would feel outside. You could definitely make assumptions about what you would have to wear to go out for the day if you were told percentage differences in the temperature.
