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.
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!

I’ve lived in places that routinely hit 100° in the summer
On which planet LOL?

I think they mean Farenheit

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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Lol I already do! At least in F.

Triple digits. Air conditioning works well and is more energy efficient than heating.
Unless you're homeless. Or like, a lot of animals.

Prepping for that climate change huh?

Triple digits.
But I'mma use KelvinGranted. 100k. Or 900k. Both are lethal, tbh
-
I think they mean Farenheit
Anybody still using that? Oh, well, probably Usa then...

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.

What is the humidity level?
Also single or triple digit

Triple digit temperature, single digit humidity. I like it crispy

This is why you can't have rational conversations with Americans.

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.

I use celsius. Triple digit temperatures would kill me.
But after a quick conversion, still single digit. Its pretty standard winter temperature just a little bit inland from where i live. I like it best between -15 and -5 °C (5 - 23F)

If those are the options, I choose death.

My apartment is built in such a way that it doesn't need heating. We had -20C last winter and didn't need to have the heating on.

Single digits. You can always put more layers on but you can't take more off than naked.

I guess I'd die. It's never either of those where I live. And crops would fail either way.
In terms of personal comfort:
If the only triple digit temp was only ever exactly 100, then I guess triple digits.
If it can be Celsius, 9 is so cold but not kill you cold, I would be sad but not dead.
