Questionable Questing

which is neither, because perfectly even, perfectly straight-on orbits are more an anomaly than not, thus making 'half burnt, half frozen, tiny bit livable' unlikely) would have a generally very balmy (probably perpetually cloud covered from evaporation) area and a generally fucking frigid area opposite that, which would generate some unreal windspeeds

as air circulated around the planet to redistribute heat.

If life sprung up on such a planet, or a spess colony for some reason WASN'T mass-utilizing fusion power or something similarly, the winds would be so strong and so constant that wind power would serve basically all the power demands of a reasonable society

on top of the fact that it would still be eternally daytime for a large part of the habitable area of the planet. (Though daytime is probably only about as bright as twilight on earth, visibly - you'd need an infrared powered solar panel somehow, to exploit that)

At the same time, skirts and dresses are fucking useless on such a planet. Wearing one would be the equivalent of saying "I never go outside".

And thus would be a status symbol -- "I'm so rich, I don't need to do anything?" Or more like the equivalent of pajama pants -- "I'm not going anywhere today, so I didn't bother getting dressed?"

A world like that would be two massive deserts, a hot desert of rock and sand, and a cold desert of rock and snow. In-between would be a band of temperate climate stretching across the planet's surface.

Probably both, cheese.

When you say that, tehelgee, are you jokingly declaring that the small portions permanently in day and in night would be deserts while the rest would be moderate?
It's equally likely, if not moreso, that the most sun-drenched part of the planet would be oceanic or an ultra-humid hothouse which supplies immense amounts of clouds for the rest of the planet instead of a desert.
