It’s actually interesting, an inch is the last knuckle of your thumb, a foot is your foot, a yard is one pace (left right left) a mile is 1000 paces
But for some reason when we standardized them so everyone’s mile would be the same distance, we used a freaking giant.
Then pirates kept us from adopting the metric system
Our thermostats haven’t. I really don’t understand it - it can’t possibly be more expensive to make, the cheapest of parts can give you better than tenths of a degree, just give us half degrees and we wouldn’t even need another button.
Half of them use touch screens anyways! How are you going to give us WiFi on them while making them less adjustable than a 55 year old analog one?? I can set the freaking background and send messages to them from the other side of the world, but there’s not even a hidden option for fine adjustment.
I think it matters. It’s not about practical difficulty - it’s a mental barrier
