    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
