The simple trick to keeping one’s upper body warm is adding layers. However, wearing multiple socks does not work for the feet. At least not for me. Any advice? Preferably non-electric solutions.

      afaik battery socks don’t have radios. It’d be really fucking costly and really easy to spot if they snuck one in.

        I had hoped the joke would be just as easy to spot. 🕊️

        But in all seriousness, I am in fact paranoid about having non well-known batteries strapped to my sometimes sweaty feet, within fabric. If I can decrease the risk of a house fire by .1% by having cold feet a bit longer, then I’d easily incur that discomfort.
        Moreover, because I believe the likelihood of World War 3 is increasing, I want to rely on luxury products even less than I was before. I already haven’t used heating for 2.5 years, and last month I turned off my boiler, so I’m showering cold. The contrast with battery-powered socks would be too absurd.

          I’m totally with you on not strapping batteries to my feet. That feels like a good rule to live by for anyone.

          classic. good yoke, im simply worried about misinformation spreading.

          cold showers are da bomb. ww3 is already over, Russia china NK already won. trump, trump lite in Canada, brexit, etc. it was fought in the mind via psyops. China won’t let their exports stop being profitable so get those tooties warm friends.
