* Cats are known for preferring warmer temperatures, even though they don't generally ''need'' it to be warmer. They will often meow in frustration if the weather is colder than they want it to be, and sleep in the sun or near heaters.
* Various dog breeds prefer colder weather over others. They were often bred for colder weather, and have thick coats great for winter but not so great in the summer.

* The ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E18Genesis 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.

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.

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 less 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 home owner 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 ExtremophileLifeforms, 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 ThermostatTamperTantrum.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':

* Cats are known for preferring warmer temperatures, even though they don't generally ''need'' it to be warmer. They will often meow in frustration if the weather is colder than they want it to be, and sleep in the sun or near heaters.
* Various dog breeds prefer colder weather over others. They were often bred for colder weather, and have thick coats great for winter but not so great in the summer.
* There's [[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-08/women-might-feel-the-cold-more-than-men-heres-why/101135250 some evidence]] from various scientific studies showing that in general women prefer a higher indoor temperature to men. Partially due to hormonal differences, as oestrogen dilates blood vessels at the extremities and progesterone can cause the vessels in the skin to constrict restricting warm blood flow to the inner organs. Testosterone on the other hand increases metabolic rate and increases the production of body heat. Women typically have less muscle mass then men of the same weight and muscles generate heat. Trans people have even mentioned noticing the difference when on gender affirming HRT with trans women starting to feel the cold more and trans men running warmer than they used too.
