    I have never heard the temperature expressed with decimals - my phone says “it’s 14, today’s high will be 20 and low of 4” or whatever. Do oven settings have decimals in places that use Celsius?

    Is the temperature expressed beyond whole numbers?

      What a weird argument. There is no practical difference between 180°C and 180,5°C. No need for ovens to have decimal precision.

      Thermostats do have increments lower than 1°C though. My car’s AC increments in 0,5°C steps.

      Car heating can be adjusted to decimals usually. So can the heating in my home. The oven can’t, because the chicken doesn’t care if it’s 180 or 181 degrees.
