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.

@ephrin Well, assuming I still had access to mitigation strategies, like well designed housing etc, I'd choose permanent 38C (100F) over permanent -13C.

Sure, modern tech is available. Both of these theoretical would be pretty intolerable without them.
