    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?

      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.

        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 █ ▆ ▄ ▁
