If the human body is too hot, it sweats. And it's one of the most effective/efficient cooling systems in the animal kingdom. You can replace the lost water by simply drinking more.

If the human body is too cold, it cuts off blood circulation to the extremities and literally sacrifices pieces of itself to keep the major organs slightly warmer for a very limited time.

Give me heat 10000000% of the time with no exceptions. Being cold is miserable. There's no comparison.

are we acting like heat can't kill? you can get heat strokes and die. don't people die trying to cross death valley when it's in a heat wave? be fair on your extremes.

anyway for me, you gotta pick temps. hot vs cold isn't enough. is cold 40F? is cold -10F? this question can be definitively answered if you give actual numbers and ask which you prefer.
