Most digital bathroom scales will repeat your last measurement if it hasn’t changed by more than half a pound. I pick up a 1 lb soap bottle off the counter first, then measure again without it for my weigh in.
Customers really hate seeing if a scale has a little inaccuracy in back to back measurements, so they all build in this bullshitting.
I’m short-sighted and on our mechanical scale, I can’t see the thin lines to count out the precise kilos.
At first, I was bothered by that, but yeah, in addition to natural weight fluctuations, just bouncing a bit on the scale would stop it at different kilos, so eventually I considered it more of a feature that I couldn’t tell precisely.
The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.
They are both imprecise AND inaccurate?
He said they have god awful precision, and accuracy… They at least have accuracy, and as someone mentioned they are 2 different things ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

so you’re saying we should invest in an industrial freight shipping scale for maximum accuracy
