Who measures the temperature of their water boiling? Like, it's at 96 now it'll be ready to make tea in a few more seconds!
EU weather and thermostats have three digits and a decimal because people are sensitive to fractions of a degree C but not so much that you need decimals for Fahrenheit so two digits is all that's needed. Thermostat is at "twenty-two point five" vs "seventy-two".
Somebody told you that water freezes at 0 or that it freezes at 32. They're both arbitrary numbers. How do you remember your phone number or manage to live your life if that's a serious problem for you that 32 is slightly harder to remember than 0?

I see you're admitting it's a bother. That was the point I was making, thank you.
