Used in a minority of countries to pretend the presence of a metric system, when in fact a non-metric system is used. Instead of using a designated smaller unit or real fraction, the bigger unit is used with a decimal point.
More often used in combination with the decimal system to describe numbers that are not even.

Heidi: “uh… I only know the metric system.”
Geoff: “Oh, sorry. That’s 6 5/12 feet.”
Heidi: “That’s a real fraction, not metric, though.”
Geoff: “Oh right. I mean 6.42 feet.”
Heidi: “OK, that’s a decimal fraction alright, but still not metric 🤣”
Geoff: “Hey Siri, what’s 6 feet and 5 inches in metric?”
Siri: “6 feet, 5 inches is equivalent to about 1.96 meters.”

To be having fun on ecstasy and sitting in a chair jiving to the grooves closing you eyes for a second and you suddenly lose consciousness and drift out.. (Death)
He was jiving and having a good time to the tunes and sat down in the chair where he closed his eyes for what was supposed to be a second and he decimal'd out... It's tragic... a bad decimal-out it was

Sort of based off of Crafting Dead .... wait it is. The game has a very bouncy and fat developer who doesn't know how to fix his game. The discord has no mute button and their player base is full of garbage 5th graders. The developer, Scotteh, loves hopping on different mod packs and helps them instead of helping his own mod pack. In fact, he doesn't even help his small servers and the game has been changing names and styles for some time now. Don't play it, save your time for something else.
I love playing Decimation Modpack, because it's pretty much stuck in the past and I like old and games that haven't been updated for shit.
