if you see an American (me) whining about it being -8 degrees just know that -8C is warm in comparison

I never said anything about Celsius being better. I was pointing out that "Fahrenheit is more human" - a take I see all the time from Americans - only seems to hold water if you are familiar with Fahrenheit. But then it just reduces to Fahrenheit is good because it's familiar. Which... yeah lol.

Celsius isn't better for regular people with the sole exception of telling you what kind of precipitation is falling based on the minus sign. But it's not worse either
