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.

    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

        Your original post doesn’t say Fahrenheit anywhere though. I mean, I’m a USian so I knew what you meant by “freedom degrees” but I don’t think it’s fair to act like everyone in the world who might see this post would know that phrase means Fahrenheit.

          I mean… I guess? I just figured any English speaker, when presented with “freedom degrees” versus “sane parts of the world” would get it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      Imagine not understanding that single digits == cold and triple digits== hot. It’s funny how everyone else seemed to figure it out.

      Let’s use our child brain for a minute so hopefully I can help you understand this. Let’s assume that the initial post was in celcius. Single digits is cool and livable. What about triple digits? Do you think that living at triple digits celcius is even a viable option? Did you really need someone to identify the unit of measure for you to understand the question?

      Your pedantry makes you look like an idiot that has no critical thinking ability.
