I don’t know man, I’ve lived my entire life in a country that only uses Celsius and I’ve never seen a single place or person using decimals to display temperature we always use whole numbers.
I get your point but the difference in 1 degree in Celsius is still very insignificant to the point we don’t really need decimals at all.
I’ve been all over the world. Trust me seeing 21.6 or other decimals is not uncommon you and others are really just pushing hard on the ideas that there is no flaws and none of the quirks of Celsius.
I literally just set an air conditioner to 20.5°C. I don’t get why lie like this.
Huh, I can only speak from my experience. I have a couple of thermometers in my room that give decimals, but my air con doesn’t give decimal options and the government meteorological service doesn’t either. I certainly don’t think I can tell the difference between 39 and 39.2.
The reason you see fractions is BECAUSE of Fahrenheit. Your air conditioner is designed to work in multiple regions and so it works on steps. Easier to just map the half steps to Fahrenheit degrees and call it a day.
For non-electronic usage, people just say the round number.
No this was an airconditioner built for and used in Japan only. It’s only in Celsius. It just uses decimal point options for finer control. I have been in plenty of places that only use Celsius and use decimals especially higher than 20s.
And still doesn’t change the drastic change between the whole numbers the higher you go vs lower temps.
Edit: literally my fever thermometer uses decimals to help you get a proper temperature reading between normal and fever.
That’s a really weird one, every apartment I’ve lived at the air conditioner only displays the temperature in integers and I’m 100% sure of that because every each one of them had arrows to change the temperature up or down in one unit.
Meh I’m about 50/50 4 air conditioners in. Half degrees has not been all that uncommon and it’s up and down arrows to adjust it. I don’t get the handwaving of legitimate points of comtention to make Celsius seem more perfect. Everything has its flaws. It’s completely fine to admit that.
