its okay to think that Celcius is better than Fahrenheit, as long as you also accept that youre wrong

okay, jokes aside lets gets a bit more scientific. yes, with Celcius water boils at 100 and freezes at 0. that is because Celcius is a system based on water. Fahrenheit is a system based on human body temperature with 100 being our nomal temperature (later adjusted to 98.6 once we realized it wasnt 100% accurate. 

but with Fahrenheit you get a much better range of temperatures. 32 and below is freezing. around 75 degrees is room temperature, and 90 to 100 is very hot. 

whereas with Celcius, 0 and below is freezing, room temperature is around 22, and about 35 would be hot.
