Winter. The Worst Season To Ever Exist. It's Cold And Wet And Gross, The Wind Goes Right Through You, And To Top It All Off, You Have To Watch Happy Couples Warm Each Other Up.

Fortunately, I Have Just The Thing To Help What Ails You. Let's Heat Things Up With A Debate, Shall We?

Every Food Can Either Be Categorized As A Soup, A Salad, Or A Sandwich. A Soup Is A Food Whose Liquid Content ("Soupiness") Is Deemed As "High". A Salad Is A Food Whose Liquid Content Is Deemed As Low ("Dressing"). A Sandwich Is Anything That Has What Could Feasibly Be Defined As Bread On Two Or More Sides.

Some Examples:

Pizza Is A Salad. The Liquid Ratio Is Almost None, Even In The Case Of The Greasiest Pizzas. While There Is Something That Can Be Defined As Bread ("The Crust"), It's Only On One Side. However, If You Fold A Pizza In Half, It Becomes A Sandwich.

Bread Bowl Soups Are Sandwiches. This Is Because It Functionally Has Bread On Two Or More Sides.

French Dip Sandwiches Are Soups, Despite Their Misleading Name. Dipping Them Into Au Jus Turns Them Incredibly Soggy, Leading To Their Classification.

Feel Free To Debate And Add Your Own Below. Just Don't Come To Blows Over This, Okay?

I'm not interested in participating in this debate, I'm interested in defending winter's honor via potentially semi-lethal means.

[commences]

would you say snow is a soup?

[devouringdeep]

Come to the court and I'll give you my answer.

[commences]

it's cold out there, you'll get frostbite.

closes my eyes...im sorry

[devouringdeep]

What, you call this cold? Considering we're just starting out for the season, this is barely brisk as far as temperatures go.

Where I'm from, if we didn't keep moving we'd freeze to death.

i heard it i FUCKING HEARD THE IDLE ANIMATION

[commences]

i've lived on the beach and in a city, and it doesn't get this cold... but i'm already cold...

are you constantly in heat, chakkun?

I TOOK PSYCHIC DAMAGE HAVING TO TYPE IT OUT IN A SERIOUS WAY

[devouringdeep]

Not sure I would say that much, but the lands of my birth are a perpetually frozen landscape. I got used to cold temperatures at a fairly young age!

I can give you pointers on surviving the chill, if you like. It's a skill to master as much as any other, and you get stronger the more you hone it

IM TARING UP THE WAY IM GOING THRU MY INBOX AND SEEING THIS HURT ME AGAIN

[commences]

how would we go about surviving the cold since you do this for a living.
is it about keeping your body active and using energy to warm you up?
...trash like me couldn't do that...

[devouringdeep]

Trash? Nonsense. Knock that off.

Activity definitely helps, but if you’re not quite the active type, you’ll still be fine with dressing properly. Long boots that cut off about mid-calf to keep the snow out, layers, head coverage... Generally speaking you’ll want to wear a tighter inner layer and something like wool or fleece as an insulating layer.

This goes for... Pretty much everything. Socks, pants, torso... Some face coverage is also good. Scarves are fantastic. Gloves are relatively useless, but mittens are essential. If you really want to wear a pair of gloves, wear them under a pair of mittens.
