I don’t ever see people bring up the fact that Fahrenheit contains more whole numbers.
20c -> 68f
21c -> 69.8f
22c -> 71.6f
23c -> 73.4f
A lot of people notice the different between 68, 69, 70, 71, and 72 Fahrenheit. But Celsius has massive gaps in the measurements of these temperatures. Which is ironically very important to the average American, due to the use of thermostats and air-conditioning.
Of course a computerized system will use the decimals to get the correct temperature.
But conversationally, you’d have to include the decimals, which is too complicated for casual chit chat.
A home thermostat will commonly have a multi degree range for turning on and off to avoid excessive cycling and then individual rooms can have multi degree differences from the thermostat and then even in an individual room you can get multi degree differences from the ceiling to the floor
So while changing the actual setpoint can change it from comfortable to uncomfortable you still likely can’t tell the difference between a 1F difference
That is before even accounting for humidity or airflow which can make even bigger differences

Brother I can’t tell the difference between 22 and 24c, how the hell will I the difference between 69 and 70?
I find this comment funny as fuck because I regularly get too cold at 69 and put the thermostat at 70 to be comfortable.
Placebo at best

That’s odd, I’m always able to know exactly what the temperature is in a room when I walk in. Including the humidity percentage in 5 point increments.
But what are the units on that? Mine only outputs in kelvin
