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 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, you can always put on another layer.
Triple digit heat is miserable.
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)
Celcius or…?
Kelvin I guess.
This is why you can’t have rational conversations with Americans.
Single digits in C or F triple digits in K
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.
Single. I don’t much like how weather.
Well said.
What is the humidity level?
Also single or triple digit
Single
I love the cold, I wanna live someplace cold.
North-west terretories, top tip of scandinavia
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.
Given that the average healthy body temperature is ~98.6⁰ F, and humidity on the Gulf Coast tends to be so high you gotta drink the air, I prefer temperatures 85⁰ or lower.
With high temperatures and high humidity, sweat can’t even evaporate, forcing your internal body temperature into unhealthy feverish levels. I’m not a fan of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
I’m also not a fan of freezing temperatures either, but at least people can dress in layers to keep warm when it’s cold.
