I would choose hot water. I want to at least feel my hands while the skin falls off.

I feel like this question needs more context as to what the temperatures of the water are. As it stands, I'd go with really cold water to avoid the third degree burns I'd receive for putting my hands in the hot variant for less than a second.

Maximum normal faucet temperatures, but the cold is colder.

cold

So apparently I'm weird.

Not that, preferring to feel pain than not feel. In my hands, at least.

Cold because I'd rather be mildly uncomfortable than to have permanent burns on my hands

Maximum.I laready use it everyday so I don't care lol

Really cold water, practically what I use if the water isn’t hot and I need to set the table.....

Cold, since that’s what I’m used to

same as dragonfirestaken

You wash your hands with really cold water!? No no no no no no no no, I'd wash my entire god damn house in that water! Ain't nobody on this earth that's gonna stop me from submersing myself in below zero temperatures, got that!

Oh. I see.

Really cold is more tolerable than overly hot.

Really cold dammit, if you wash your hands with hot water what the hell is wrong with you

well.Nothing i guess.but I use it anyway,because you get used to it,and it feels nice.
that's basically why hot running water was invented anyway

To be fair, I'm pretty sure it's more efficient to wash your hands with moderately hot water considering most guides concerning hand washing recommend it. But I'd still choose really cold water; minimal faucet temperatures can be warmed up gradually afterwards, whereas the maximum setting will burn you if it's been running too long.

Cold water, because hot water can burn your skin, but cold water also has a minimum temp it can be before it freezes
