zero degrees or 100 degrees for life?

for the sake of argument, humidity and wind will vary throughout they year. There is still a summer and winter season so to speak where humidity/wind/rain/snow etc will fluctuate
so for the 100 degree planet, in the summer it is like Louisiana summer. in the winter it is more like arizona.
for the 0 degree planet the winter is windy and awful. summer is calmer and less awful, but still awful.

You guys who go "easier to add clothes" know there are other ways to regulate temperature than clothing, right?
Besides, 100 isn't so terribly hot you can't acclimate to it. 0 is definitely that cold imo. 100 is uncomfortable. 0 hurts.

It would absolutely depend on the humidity in the heat and wind/precipitation in the cold. Dry desert heat with a high of 100* every day I’d probably choose the heat, but if it’s a humid climate I’d chose the cold unless it’s a very windy place or one that gets dumped on with snow frequently like Buffalo.
co-workers and I were talking about it when it got down to zero here in nashville. I was miserable and ******** about the cold. was just wondering if I was the minority or majority
Zero degrees also means that you're basically stuck inside all the time. 100 degrees means hot, but also means swimming and being able to function outdoors.
I can cross country ski, hike, jog, etc. too. Again this depends on wind chill etc. but so does 100 degree in the humidity. Even if you're swimming you still need to be careful of dehydration and limit sun exposure.
And you're dealing with snow, vehicles that won't start, etc. I just absolutely hate the cold.
For the first 30 years of my life I would have said 0, now I would definitely rather take golf courses and water with the 100 degree heat.
I've had issues with vehicles in heat too but it's more rare.
It's an interesting thing to ponder.
Good thing I live in the midwest where the weather is always perfect and reliable.
I'll take 0. I like snow. In general not a fan of hot/humid days. Mainly, because I don't like to sleep in A/C.
For me the biggest issue is sunshine during the cold winter months. Cold & cloudy for a week straight can be depressing.
So obviously, my goal in retirement is to move to the mountains in an area that gets 100"+ of snow & 250+ days with sunshine.

100° in Vegas isn’t that bad, sign me up for that. All depends on the humidity. Still better than zero.
Either case would be major job security for an HVAC technician.
Not really. If it's zero- go snow skiing, nordic skiing, hiking. Keep moving and warm layers- zero ain't no big thing!
Heck look at all the crazies in northern Minnesota with their nice fishing houses. Some don't rough it much.
