    Yeah no. I’ll take cold over heat any day. At least when it’s cold I can just add a few layers or do something to mitigate it. When it’s hot theres only so many layers I can take off without becomming a sex offender.

      My statistics professor said nearly the exact same thing just today, no joke. He only didn’t say the “without becomming a sex offender.” part.

        Actually yes. People with severe burns over a large part of their body wind up with massive issues as far as keeping their body temp up. But if you’re burned that bad then you usually have much bigger things to worry about anyways. However your epidermis is mostly dead tissue so to have any real effect you need to go a little deeper and remove the dermis too. So if you skin yourself it can help keep your body temp down.

      Ha I’ve said that my whole life except for the last part. I’d say “there’s a legal limit to how much you can take off”
