Watched a YT video last night that confused me a little.
It was a Brit living in the U.S., and he was saying that the reason people in the U.S. complain about summer, even though they have air conditioning, is that they set the aircon to a temperature that would be considered very high by U.K. standards: 75°F/24°C.

That doesn't make sense to me, because I was under the impression that Americans are the most liberal with their use of air conditioning, because of the relatively low price of energy here.

So, if you're in the #UK, poll to follow in a reply to this toot...

(Wow, some of y'all set yours lower than me. 😂)

@rl_dane Hey :¬) I voted 24 because I remember that being the most used setting. 24 seemed to be fine indoors when compared to the hot temps outside. On the odd occasion, this year, we set 22.

@UrbanDjent

That's very reasonable, to me, and what I usually set mine to. ;)
