Internet users turned to memes this week to voice their disapproval over federal guidelines recommending homes across the nation set their thermostats to 82 degrees Fahrenheit during sleep hours.
Here’s a collection of some of the best memes putting the federal Energy Star program on blast:

Arizonans, get your angry typin' fingers ready! Energy Star (a federal program) recommends you never set your thermostat lower than 78 degrees while you're home. It suggests setting the temp to 85 while you're gone, and 82 while you sleep. ARE THEY CRAZY? Sound off on #TodayinAZ! pic.twitter.com/DQ0w6mqhZl

Ok EPA suggested raising your thermostat to 85 and 82 at night. What the hell? What do you prefer in summer? pic.twitter.com/BRTgs8iZM4

If anyone sets my home thermostat to 82° while I’m asleep they’re getting physically thrown out the front door of my house in the morning. pic.twitter.com/oH3c0TNnjq

I keep thinking about that awful thermostat tweet and I didn't even know a thermostat could go that high. Keep my house like when Homer set up a tent connected to the fridge pic.twitter.com/n4v3x9ijkt

I know this setting isn’t mandatory, but I would turn into a whole rump roast if I set my thermostat at 82 mother fucking degrees at night. 68° or bust. You can use a blanket if you come to my house. https://t.co/K1iYGfs6JE pic.twitter.com/Zq1DSEXx33
