Would you rather hang out in 120 degree (F not C) or -20?

I will take the cold over the extreme heat any day.

i would go for freezing🥶 rather than scorching🥵

Assuming I had ample cool water and shade, I'd take the heat.

I used to live where it was almost always above 90F every day in summer, and would get up into 110-115 on some occasions. I like heat, but having lived in that temperature and knowing what it is like, I would opt for -20. -20 you simply add more layers and protection to keep comfortable. In 120F, your brain already started cooking about 10 degrees ago, and you can't take off any more layers than being completely naked and still hot. I also lived in Brazil where it was often pretty hot, but honestly I liked it because it was rarely over 100F.

If "hang out" means you are going to stay inside all day hiding from the extreme temperature, I'd rather the 120F, because that's fine to stay cool inside climate control, and I like that better than heating a place up to stay warm. But if you mean literally "in" the heat or cold, cold is better.

That's also considering drier areas. 120F degrees in areas with higher humidity like Brazil or Florida would mean death, even in the shade. (unless of course you are talking about hanging out in A/C, which means you're not really hanging out in 120F, but a climate controlled 68F.

I’ll take cold any day of the week, assuming I have ample layers. I hate hot weather!!!

[Nikki1989]

The hotter, the better.
