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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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)
