    You’ve got that backwards. One degree Celsius covers a wider range than one degree Fahrenheit, so Fahrenheit has more precision if you leave off decimals.
    20 C is 68 F, and 21C is 69.8F. One degree C is nearly two degrees fahrenheit.

    IT doesn’t actually matter for common usage of either, but fahrenheit does have a smaller step between degrees.

      I do actually wish I could have a decimal place on my truck thermostat. 20 is always too cold and 21 too hot in the winter. And if I change it to F for the increased resolution it’ll change my speedo to miles and shit. Damn future.
