Granted electricity is more complicated than a coat, but you absolutely need tools to feel “fine” at either temperature. Humans don’t survive at 0F without fire or clothes, whereas 100F just needs a water supply. In the modern world this translates to a shelter with heating vs AC
Yes, I wear clothes to feel fine at 0F, and I also need to wear clothes to feel fine at 50F. 85F is unbearable, and I would seriously consider moving north, if it regularly got that hot where I live.
Wow people are so different. I grew up in Florida, without air conditioning until I was 25. 85F is so nice outside in the shade, and 80 in the sun is fine for working outdoors. In the shade, with a fan going, and something to drink, I am comfortable to mid-90s at least, just not moving so much, relaxing. Hot yoga at 103 is sweaty but not dangerous for me.
There are not enough clothes in the world to make me comfortable at 0 F, there is not gear for that, I don’t generate that much internal heat.
yeah, it’s kinda funny. comfortable begins at… 65? ends at 90. Then it’s Hat Season!tm and i can get another 15 degrees of comfort before appropriate clothes and good water bottles aren’t enough. On the other end, 65 begins layering weather, 40s bring sweater weather and scarf weather, and the 30s end comfortable with clothing. I could probably go lower, but you can’t get that kind of clothing here.
i guess my point is humans are remarkably adaptable creatures. also, at 0F you can bring coffee. you don’t gotta rely entirely on yourself.

100F also needs a hat
