Original question by @[email protected]

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.

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.
