But today was 86° and I confess I did not enjoy it quite so much. In fact, I would say my pleasure is reduced by about 10% for every degree above 80°, which means that at 91°, I am actually experiencing negative pleasure.
Is that a thing?
I think that's a thing.
Spitty, you lost us when you started doing math.
ReplyDeleteI see you have your own private fan to cool you off.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's definitely a thing, Spitty.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, we have that same exact model fan. Haha.
'Negative pleasure' is that another americanism? But it certainly suits your most royal attitude, hehehehe.
ReplyDeleteCount your Bay Area blessings, Spitty - I am going to be in Hemet this weekend, and it is about 15 degrees hotter there than it is here!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds much too hot and definitely sounds like negative pleasure to me.
ReplyDeleteIf King Spitty says it's a thing, then it is! Nice fan blowing up your foo-foo...!
ReplyDeleteMom says that's a thing. Her threshold is 75, anything above that she feels uncomfortable :)

Sorry you are so hot.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a thing, Spitty. We are having temps in the mid-90s, and we have a lot of negative pleasure at our house. Stay in front of that fan. It always feels good when you can get your furs ruffled by a breeze. Hope your temps go down soon. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteHa ha! The weather guy here calls 91 a "cool down".

Yes, put me on the list of those who agree that negative pleasure is a thing. Indeed - I could tell you hundreds of things that give me negative pleasure.
