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 live in California’s San Joaquin valley. It gets hot in the summer. PG&E bill is high as hell. Having your place cooler than 78F is a total luxury. In my place keeping it at 78F would mean a couple $600 bills. I have since gotten solar but I’ve heard PG&E increased their prices twice since then. And they want to increase it even more.

    On the other hand some places like Sacramento used to have super cheap rates and people could crank their ACs on.
