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.
Whatever it was it was intended for it was built in China for a global audience, then customized for whatever market it was sold in. They all use common software platforms.
It does indeed change that fact, because temperature is exclusively reported in whole numbers. Go to any weather channel, site, provider, etc. It’s always whole numbers, even in Celsius.
Sure the thermometer is the one place I remember decimals, but I can guarantee you no one I’ve ever met in my life knows the difference between 25 and 26 degrees celsius, much less decimals of it.
Specially air conditioners, they all have arrows to go up and down the temperature, you’re literally just speaking from a very specific experience of one special air conditioner that had more control than most others.
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.
That’s not the point, I haven’t said Celsius is perfect not a single time here, I’m just calling your BS because you said decimals matter for us which is not true because no one that lives in a country that uses Celsius knows the difference a decimal makes, I honestly think we just really feel some difference at like 2 degrees in variation, far from decimals.
Yeah your point is BS, because you really don’t need decimals to do most things. Good for you that you can notice decimals in difference but that’s not a normal thing, most weather forecast only say the integer, most air conditioners (all as far as I’ve seen) tell the temperature in integer, if you talk to someone else about the weather we also talk in integer.
YOU should stop pushing the idea that decimals are important into everyone else as if they are true for everyone, because they’re not.

My thermostat increments by 0.5c
My digital thermometers all uses decimals.

It truly doesn’t matter.

Decimals don’t matter for you and you are pushing that to everyone as a way to delegitimize my point.
I use Celsius and they matter to me. I can and do notice a difference between setting my thermostat to 21.5 vs 22 vs 22.5. You don’t whatever.
I said I was using Celsius but because I had a complaint you decided I was outside of your accepted user group and my statement was BS.
Its bullshit.
