Original question by @ephrin@sh.itjust.works
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.
Low temps. My brain boils in high temps. Heat exhaustion too many times. I’d be dead.
Same. I choose somewhere 15 to 18C - Comfortably cool, and I can always put on a sweater. Any warmer than that, and I’d have trouble sleeping at night.
So triple digits Kelvin for me.
Triple digits.
But I’mma use KelvinGranted. 100k. Or 900k. Both are lethal, tbh
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.
Single as I would die immediately at 100°C
Same as 9C is quite palatable.
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
Single digits in C or F triple digits in K
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)
Single digits, you can always put on another layer.
Triple digit heat is miserable.
Single. I don’t much like how weather.
Well said.
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.
Currently doing exactly that. My partner and I just bought a house and a few hundred acres in northern Maine, and will be moving in less than two months. Yeah, winters are cold and long, and yeah, the mosquitos and blackflies suck, but triple digit heat is really rare up there.
This is why you can’t have rational conversations with Americans.
Celcius or…?
Kelvin I guess.
Single digits. I love shoveling snow, and cold weather makes me feel alive.
I love the cold, I wanna live someplace cold.
North-west terretories, top tip of scandinavia
I’ve lived in both extremes and single digits wins every time. I never passed out from the cold, but the heat gets me at least once a year.
Single. Is what I am used to as a Canadian.
Also, triple digit is lethal.
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
Speaking from personal experience, 9F won’t kill you, at least not quickly, and it’s pretty easy to put on enough clothes that you can spend entire work days outside being comfortably warm. I used to work outdoors regularly in Alaskan winters and except for days where it got down to around -20F I was usually able to keep warm just by having proper attire.
You can’t really do that at 100F. Sure, it probably won’t kill you if you stay hydrated, but it will never be comfortable.
it’s funny, because I would much rather do 100F over even 20F. anything below freezing starts to be really uncomfortable; but 100F can be nice for me if its under 50% humidity. above that, and specially about 60% and it starts to be annoying.
but i 100% agree that it is easier to put more clothes to keep the cold away than it is to cool down when it is hot; but i like the toasty
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.
I’m using the mainstream unit for temperature. Not the one that Four countries use.
