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.

Day to day, I'd take a dry 100 degrees. My problem is a like to do cardio exercise outside, like run and bike. 100 degrees makes that significantly more difficult and dangerous. We've had upper 90s and high humidity the last couple of weeks and it's been tough to do anything more than about 20 minutes at a time.

On the other hand, I love to snowboard, which can't happen in triple digits. Snow and ice depending, biking and running are doable at single digit temps. I hate walking outside and feeling pain from the cold temps.

I'd probably take the triple digits and travel for cold vacations.

I also love to snowboard, so it would suck to give up cold temps completely.

I don’t know how much that is in normal degrees and I’m too lazy to check but I generally prefer cold. Heating up is much easier (if you’re privileged enough). You don’t have to shower every single day, you don’t need to drink as much. Its a bit of a hassle every time to go outside with all the extra clothes, my electric car is less efficient and opening windows to let fresh air in is unpleasant. But that’s a small price to pay.

Hot is just always shit.

Imagine you are one if the only countries that use Fahrenheit and just assume that everyone knows what you are talking about when you say degrees without a unit is the essence of american personality
