    Original question by @[email protected]

    Freedom degrees. Roughly -13° or 38° if you live in the sane parts of the world.

    I’d pick triple digits, mostly because I’ve lived in places that routinely hit 100° in the summer, and I hate shoveling snow.

    Single. Is what I am used to as a Canadian.

    Also, triple digit is lethal.

      Single, that would mean there is a lot of water.

        Single as I would die immediately at 100°C

        Same as 9C is quite palatable.

          Probably singles. -5° and 5° isn't much of a swing. Don't think I could hang at -425°.

            i mean, single digits is also leathal; 9F is much worse than 100F. it is just easier to warm a room than it is to cool it down, but if you had to be exposed to the outside temperature 9F will kill you, 100F won't

              Never going below 100F? There's not enough electricity to cool the houses. Too hot for crops and livestock.

              Never going above 9F? There's not enough fuel to heat those houses. Too cold for crops and livestock.

              So I guess we all just die.

                Probably triple. We frequently hit singles here and all we do is complain about how we wish it was summer. I see people pointing out that 100° can be lethal, but not nearly as lethal as 9°

                And on the really hot days (although we never hit 100) we still complain, but always follow it with: at least it's not snowing!

                      Single digits, 100%.

                      Single digits range from -9F to 9F. Triple digits start at 100F, and can go way the fuck up from there. (And with climate change, they will!) Once you start approaching triple digits, you have to worry about humidity, because you can easily hit a combination that's literally too hot to live.

                      Is -9F unpleasant? Sure. But you can layer clothing, and that will keep you comfortable. Death Valley has hit >130F, and when that happens people die, even if they drink gallons of water and stay in the shade.

                          Triple digits. Air conditioning works well and is more energy efficient than heating.

                                  I'll take both.
                                  One on each side of my house.

                                  Now to by a few kilotons of ceramic tiles and zinc and copper wires.

Once you start approaching triple digits, you have to worry about humidity, because you can easily hit a combination that's literally too hot to live.

                                          Is -9F unpleasant? Sure. But you can layer clothing, and that will keep you comfortable. Death Valley has hit >130F, and when that happens people die, even if they drink gallons of water and stay in the shade.

                                          I like the point about climate change, if you could trick the genie into agreeing that once you set up your new home you get to stay there. Then pick a spot on the cusp of frigidity. So it will gradually get into the double digits at least.
