Nobody even uses exact degrees when using Fahrenheit and talking about the weather. You can’t feel the difference between 71 and 72. Most people just round off to the nearest 5 degrees or so when talking about the weather. With Celsius you might be slightly more likely to use a non-rounded value, say 22 degrees instead of 20 or 25. But, you’re almost never going to use fractional degrees.
Weather, cooking, at least people around me don’t use decimals for that. One degree C is not really big enough difference for those two to break down into decimals. Moreso I guess in the sense that one Fahrenheit difference is smaller than the same for Celsius. Do you know people using decimals for daily stuff with C?
I don’t measure my body temp daily. Maybe it’s a thing some do but I don’t think I know anyone who does. As for cars, don’t know about those. I could see them doing decimals in AC but I also don’t see it as something that’s needed. Mine just had heater with those things you turn where the slider goes █ ▆ ▄ ▁
I don’t think it’s necessary to do in Celsius though?
“Necessary” is a strong word, but it is, moreso than when using Fahrenheit.

I think it’s a straw man personally because most people will still talk in integer amounts.

When measuring body temperature, digital temp gauges usually, and my cars AC thermostat (0.5C jumps) come to mind right away.
But honestly you’re using decimals so much during daily life that it’s really a 2nd nature to deal with them.

Yeah not quite “daily” thing but very very common thing especially since kid started kindergarten lol
Hah, that I can believe
