If you had to live the rest of your life in single or triple digit temperatures which would you choose?

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

Given that the average healthy body temperature is ~98.6⁰ F, and humidity on the Gulf Coast tends to be so high you gotta drink the air, I prefer temperatures 85⁰ or lower.
With high temperatures and high humidity, sweat can't even evaporate, forcing your internal body temperature into unhealthy feverish levels. I'm not a fan of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
I'm also not a fan of freezing temperatures either, but at least people can dress in layers to keep warm when it's cold.

Triple digits.
But I'mma use Kelvin -
Low temps. My brain boils in high temps. Heat exhaustion too many times. I’d be dead.

So triple digits Kelvin for me.

Only for inductive heating. A heat pump is basically the same as an AC in reverse.

Single digits, you can always put on another layer.
Triple digit heat is miserable.

Ah, but you also have to consider the amount of heating and cooling you’re doing. Assuming that you’re comfortable at a normal room temperature of 70F, that’s 30 degrees of cooling from triple digits, but 61 degrees from single. And, you’re also going to want to take into consideration the heat of fusion of water as you are melting whatever ice comes which raises the amount of energy required even more.

Celcius or...?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Triple digit Kelvin is already quite comfortable.

Single as I would die immediately at 100°C

What is the humidity level?

Kelvin I guess.

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.

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!

On which planet LOL?
