What's the problem with decimals? They're all numbers. -4.5 degrees C is fine, isn't it? (The actual temperature right here right now). Where's the problem?

- gonzalohm 9mo agoYou don't even need decimals. 45x10^-1. There, fixed
- sfn42 9mo agoYou don't even need decimals. Nobody who uses celsius gives a shit about the decimals. It's -4 or it's -5 and even that distinction is irrelevant. Unless you're doing some kind of scientific calculaton there's no need to think about decimals of celsius at all. Just like Fahrenheit users surely don't care whether it's 50 or 53 or whatever. It's around 50, that's all you need to know.
- Ekaros 9mo agoOnly place I could imagine something is cooking and even there I probably would not be able to differentiate steak at 56C, 57C and 58C...
- ginko 9mo agoIt might make a difference for mashing when brewing beer but even that’s a crapshoot.
- Kim_Bruning 9mo agoYes, but then you might conceivably still measure temperature in degrees Réaumur, if it's a rather traditional brewer. Or so I was told by a Reliable Source(tm).
- ghaff 9mo agoFor sous vide, I will differentiate by 1 or 2 Fahrenheit degrees but I take your basic point.
