psa for you Europeans: negative Fahrenheit is typically much colder than negative Celsius until -40 where they're the same (hexbear.net)

negative celsius is the most important part of why i dislike it. in the fahrenheit you have "below freezing", which isn't really all that cold, and you have "below zero", which is fucking freezing. you could say "below negative seventeen point seven eight" i guess

This reasoning is bizarre to me. Is it 0 or less? Then it will fundamentally change the weather - it'll be frosty, watch out for ice or snow. I'm not sure why you'd "most importantly" prefer negative meaning that yeah it's like.. colder.
