Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

Not American. What's a thermostat?

The electronic thing on the wall that controls the temperature of your heater or air conditioner.

older ones are often electrical, but not really electronic. they use a bimetal strip that bends due to changing temperatures, to complete a circuit at the point you set the slider. it's actually a really fascinatingly simple bit of tech.

Thermostat isn't an American term.
