Today, my roommate turned the thermostat down to 50 degrees. Why? Because she read that shivering burns calories. FML

Turn it up to 90 tell her sweating burns calories

FYL, I once read on the Internet, that everything on the Internet is true. BURN SOME CALORIES!

Shivering, or just being cold, does burn calories.

Warn her that turning a room down to 50 degrees also runs the risk of getting punched by her roommate.

50 degrees and you're shivering? Heh, come up here to Canada. We'll show you what REAL cold is about eh.

Isn't that a good thing? Burning extra calories?

Well, actually, if it's hotter, your blood gets pumping, so being in heat would burn calories more efficiently than being in the cold. Plus, making the AC constantly work swallows money BIG TIME. Shouldn't she just save up for a treadmill or a gym membership with that money?

tell her to take a hike. like literally, take a hike. she'll burn calories that way too.

Fool chick. I get that weight loss can be beneficial but sometimes the overweight girls are the most beautiful. Sometimes they can help it either. I do think that obesity can be a problem, but it could also be used to our advantage as we could take the fat and somehow use it as fuel for the future so that way it'd be possible for a girl to become skinny AND power some electricity or cars of some sort. Oh well, such a thing may only exist in fantasy.

you know what else burns calories? working out. tell her to get off her lazy ass and do something about losing weight.
