It doesn't take long to realize that most people have a preferred temperature range. The standard comfortable temperature for most humans is around 72°F (22°C), and maybe higher if wearing fewer clothes. But not everyone feels this way. Some people prefer summer while others prefer winter. Air conditioners are usually set to the preferred temperature of the homeowner unless they are miserly, to the possible distress of the other dwellers of the house. At the same time others are still wearing winter coats, there are others in t-shirts and shorts. Needless to say, they will have fights over the thermostat with those that prefer it much warmer. Unlike Extremophile Lifeforms, who may need the different temperature, the Thermal Dissident wants it colder or hotter than others. The discrepancy can often be used for comedic conflict, which inevitably is a Thermostat Tamper Tantrum. See also Thermal Dissonance, where an object or place is not as hot or cold as described. |

Genshin Impact: Eula loves to bathe in the cold ponds of the cold Dragonspine Mountains; rather fitting, seeing how she has a Cryo vision.note However, this is not displayed gameplay-wise. She is the one person in Mondstadt who prefers her drinks iced and not at room temperature. Amber says that on a hot day, she can stay cool just by standing next to Eula. A couple of characters complain if you enter the cold Dragonspine Mountains: Yanfei calls it injurious, and Dehya asks if you are kidding her. While only a few characters mention suddenly being in the desert, Neuvillette actually asks if you are trying to assassinate him. |

My Teacher Is an Alien: A logistical challenge of all the alien species living together on the Mile-Long Ship. Private quarters are customizable, but the common areas are set to a compromise that has some people in parkas, others nearly naked, and humans pretty comfortable. | |

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero: Iceberg laments in the "Arise, Serpentor, Arise" miniseries that the brutal Russian weather was never to be had in Waco, Texas. Duke told him to face the fact that he (Iceberg) was born in the wrong hometown. In the same episode, Snow Job comments to the colonel of the Oktober Guard that he thought he could stand a good chill, but he's nothing compared to the Guard. The Colonel notes the lovely spring day that is the stereotypical Russian weather. |

G.I. Joe: Iceberg may have been born in Brownsville, Texas, but he absolutely prefers frigid temperatures. His toy's filecard[1]◊ said that as a child he saved for an air conditioner and when he signed up for the Army he requested duty in Alaska. note Brownsville, Texas, is the most southern city in the continental United States outside of Key West, Florida. On Sub Zero'snote the GI Joe Arctic trooper released in 1990, not the Mortal Kombat character file card, it is said that all the other G.I.Joe Arctic specialists like the cold, but not Sub Zero. It is just that he likes to be "mean", and being in the hated cold weather makes him "mean". |

Fungus the Bogeyman: Bogeys as a species prefer colder temperatures, which is part of the reason they're nocturnal, and will complain if the weather is too warm. However, there's nothing to suggest they actually need it to be cold. | |

Animal Crackers: While Captain Spaulding tells of his African voyage, he mentions that he encountered a polar bear. Mrs. Teasdale points out that polar bears live in the Arctic, so the Captain clarifies that the bear was "anemic" and couldn't stand the cold (and was rich enough that he could afford to go away in the winter). | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In the pilot episode "Emissary", Sisko notes how ridiculously warm it was in the station. O'Brien notes it is because the Cardassians, the previous owners of the space station, prefer it much warmer than humans. While not so much preferring a certain temperature, the Ferengi come from a humid planet and thus prefer humid climes. |

The Sims 3: The Seasons expansion pack includes the "Loves the Cold" and the "Loves the Heat" traits, where a Sim can enjoy cold and hot weather more than normal Sims respectively; the former trait makes the Sim last long enough in the cold before they freeze and giving them the "Pleasantly Cold" moodlet and the latter can make them withstand the heat long enough before they swelter and giving them the "Pleasantly Warm" moodlet. Both traits are available at birth and don't conflict with each other. A Sim can also get an "Immune to Cold" and "Immune to Heat" Lifetime Rewards for 10,000 points starting with children and up, where they can be immune to cold weather without freezing and immune to heat while getting tans without being sunburned. | |

Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales: In the pilot episode, Tennessee Tuxedo is a penguin that, unlike other penguins at the South Pole, does not like the cold. When Stanley Livingston shows up, wanting to put Chumley in the zoo because he's a South Pole walrus and therefore unique (Chumley arrived there by mistake when headed south), Tennessee insists on being taken along as well. | |

The Loud House: In "Snow Bored", it's revealed that most of the Loud children enjoy playing in the snow, but Lisa does not, at one point being concerned she'll get hypothermia when playing Lucy's game of lying in the snow. Her dislike for cold weather gets brought up later in "Bye Bye Birthday" when she complains about the cold when the family eats dinner outside. In "She's All Bat", most of the Mortician's Club finds the cemetery too cold in the early morning. However, Lucy doesn't mind and even complains when Lola moves the club to a warmer place. |

Luigi's Mansion: Sir Weston is a ghost located in one of the rooms of the Basement, accessed during the Area 4 chapter. Unlike the rest of the mansion (which is warm), his room is abnormally cold and resembles an arctic cave. Scanning his heart reveals that he only likes cold areas, hence why he froze the whole room. If Luigi spews fire from his Poltergust 3000 to create a bonfire next to him, he'll complain that it's getting too hot (despite the rest of the room still being at a sub-zero temperature) and challenges Luigi into a Mini-Boss battle. Defeating him is required to proceed to the endgame. | |

The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Genesis" has Doctor Crusher treat Lieutenant Barclay for Urodelan flu by activating some dormant genes. While this does effectively cure him, Barclay's biology also generates a virus that activates dormant genes in other crew members. Counselor Troi gets infected and begins mutating into a frog-girl. While she has command of the bridge, Troi routinely bumps up the bridge temperature to tropical levels, to the dismay of Worf and the other bridge crew. | |
