I've grown up in a desert. Temperatures go up to 44 during daytime on a normal day, no matter the season besides winter.

I can handle 35 no problem.

I remember in high school my geography teacher said humans will choose to live in unbeatable heat over unbearable cold, but nearly every single person I've met in my life has said they'd rather die in the cold than live in the heat, so now I thought to myself why not outsource this question!

no fahrenheit because if i have to google the answers on polls with no celcius, so do you

#also. i know how to handle the problems that come with hot weather #but what I want no chance of is frost bite #also. like people who chose cold are saying -5 is not even unbearable. I'm internally cackling bcoz 35 isn't that unbearable either #it really depend on what climate you're used to #peeps living in cold climate are so used to having an internal heating system and all that often they don't realize the problems it brings #especially for those who don't have a set temperature of climate but gets extremety of temperatures in all seasons #and also don't have a constantly working internal heating system #some of our neighbor's relatives who grew up in England came here & admitted they can't handle the cold here like we do #they can't take showers bcoz the water is freezing. they need heaters and warmer clothes.#and it wasn't even winter. it was spring! the temperature was over 20 #my country gets extrme temps. in every season. winter can go below 0 and summers higher than 40 #most of us here dont have that setup due to how intense all seasons get and we bear these temps. and now its problems #and rhe cold is a lot harder yo survive in when you don't have the geysers working all the time and heating ventilators on 24/7 #people living here who experience full brunt of both would pick hot over cold any day #op plz don't dismiss your teacher just because of concsensus from those who have systems to deal with cold without worry #your teacher is of Geography. they know about the varieties of climate this planet gets and has a good point
