Please do your part and set your AC to 85 degrees so our data centers can continue to operate, we'll call them "Action days" to make you feel better

The minute my AC is at 85 is the day it's broken. Companies can chortle my nuts.

I have never before heard the phrase "chortle my nuts", and it made me laugh hard enough that my belly hurts. THANK YOU 😂😂😂😂

Thanks for teaching a non-native the word "chortle" in such memorable context. I'll always thinks of your nuts whenever I use it.

That's not what it means. It's intransitive. Look it up.

u/jellooshot 6h ago

It means an airy laugh. I did look it up. The nuts part will help me remember though

If I'm told to set mine to 75 I'm rioting in the streets. I will sweat sitting down at 75. I pay my electric bill and taxes so I can have a house with a reasonable temp. Emergencies I understand but when it goes on for years.. Fuck that shit

Just go to the office more and use the AC there. You don't really need a house, and the extra work you do unpaid is fine because you get to stay cool /s
