If you had to live the rest of your life in single or triple digit temperatures which would you choose?
-
Triple digits. Air conditioning works well and is more energy efficient than heating.
Unless you're homeless. Or like, a lot of animals.

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.
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.

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.
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.

Single digits. I love shoveling snow, and cold weather makes me feel alive.

Triple digits because I don't like anything about winter. The cold makes my body ache and nobody does anything because going outside sucks ass. I think I'd get used to the heat, I can tolerate it fine as is. Room temperature below 25°C/77°F feels freezing cold to me.

...right, and therefore triple digits. AlwaysNudeClub rise up

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Depends. If we're talking 100 degrees and no humidity? I could probably do that. The misery doesn't really set in until 110. 10 minutes outside below freezing feels like knives.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It is very hard to grow food outdoors in either case. Underground the temperature is fairly stable at about 30+°F. If that's allowed, and I can manage how to grow food underground, then from experience I know I can easily survive 9°F and spend a LOT more time outdoors than at 100°F

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
But that's also assuming that it stays at just over triple digits, doesn't it? 125F is just as valid as 101F, and that's without going to something ridiculous like 872F.
0F, or -9F if negatives are included in this, can definitely be very dangerous, but can be prepared for and compensated for more easily than temperatures over 110F.
