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 digits in C or F triple digits in K
Single. I don’t much like how weather.
Well said.
I love the cold, I wanna live someplace cold.
North-west terretories, top tip of scandinavia
Single
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
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 of bow freezing feels like knives.
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.
Single digits. I love shoveling snow, and cold weather makes me feel alive.
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. You can always put more layers on but you can’t take more off than naked.
…right, and therefore triple digits. AlwaysNudeClub rise up
If those are the options, I choose death.
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)
This is why you can’t have rational conversations with Americans.
Prepping for that climate change huh?
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.
