What ya nerds set your thermostats to? (lemmy.world)

I've been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That's too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?

Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?

Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?

I set it to 291K.

Not sure what that is in feet-degrees or miles or whatever you guys use in Murca.

Edit: changed to CAPITAL K, you nerds.

Edit 2: removed the degree symbol!

There's no such thing as a degree Kelvin. It's just 291K.

Excellent. I'm making my high school physics teacher proud.

That's about 523.8 °R. I prefer 531.67 °R
