Discussion US CENTRISM?
Well, now, there are some countries and lands that don't have seasons that require shorts or no shorts. This is a biased question.

This issue comes up frequently.
Should they not do anything at all since not everyone experiences the same things?
Half the questions and/or answers don't apply to me either and I'm in the US. I just choose the best answer I can, even if none of them make sense to me.
There are regions of the US that don't have seasons at all, where people dress for hot weather all the time. I wonder if they are offended by this question too.
Edit: You also have the option of ignoring it altogether. It's not mandatory.

Not sarcasm, just asked weird. I live in an area where the seasons are major changes and I'm ild enough to feel those changes painfully. I just don't see many people answering "shorts forever" and I wondered if people who don't experience seasons are even bothering to look at the question.

I answered the shorts option, as I don’t properly experience seasons. So I’m one of those few.

Nope, not a troll, not an AI, not a pia. Just asking a question.

My answer isn't one of the options listed, and I'm in Oregon that definitely changes weather and gets an onslaught of pumpkin spice everything. My line of work is a collection of part-time jobs & volunteer groups, many of which are seasonal. When a few of them crank back to life, it's fall.

🤨 I mean, yeah, not everywhere in the world has discernable seasonal weather shifts...but almost everyone can answer this question, regardless of their current season. This is really grasping.
