WTF, I ain't watching an hour long video on a stupid fridge! I'll just watch the first few minutes and see what's up.....

One hour later.....

Okay, that was really interesting. I really love this channel.

I've loved Technology Connections ever since I saw his riveting hour long video on dishwashing detergent. I don't even have a dishwasher.

There's not a Technology Connections video I won't watch. Always makes the seemingly mundane absolutely fascinating.

His videos are always so random but somehow so entertaining and peaceful no matter what completely random thing he decides to talk about. My man could explain the mechanical differences between industrial farming equipment or something and I’d eat that shit up 100% without any questions.

As a European his videos are sometimes so funny :)

Here in europe we have two kind of fridges: American Style and the showed one (but with the freezer at the bottom). American style is this big bulky fridge that breaks quickly and costs a ton of money, most people use this style. It's just the norm and they work reliable for decades, while also being more energy efficient.

It's also important to note that food doesn't get bad at 8°C (which Alec states in his video), storing food at 8°C is also the norm here in Europe. And I guess using this style of fridge more often in America would also make a lot of sense for most people.

I can see one simple reason why the american fridge with it's self-defrosting feature makes a lot of sense in some American regions: Climate. In humid regions like Florida, the showed style of fridge would just need to be constantly defrosted. Which would be a huge pain in the ass obviously. And in all other southern-american regions where it never really gets cold it's also a pain in the ass to manually defrost a fridge. For all regions where the temperature goes close to freezing temperatures, defrosting is not a big deal. You just need to put your refrigerated or frozen stuff outside for a few hours, defrost the fridge and put everything back inside. The frozen stuff doesn't even get remotely thawn and doing it once a year is more than enough.

"So I bought five of these things" lol.

Oh this guy is my inner spirit nerd.

I love Tech Connections. Unnecessarily long deep dives, but that’s the kind of content I absolutely appreciate. His stuff is a treat that helps to highlight the rabbit holes that can be found in the mundane.

I still lecture people on the correct detergent to use and to do a prewash because on him. 😂

These videos are so meditative for me.

Honestly, the best part about this channel is watching the guy be extremely American.

His fascination at an absolutely run of the mill entry level fridge that everybody outside Muricaland has owned at least once is delightful.

Oh, also, he's on Mastodon here @TechConnectify in case you guys didn't know that.

Oh how I love Technology Connections. He makes the perfect kind of content for me.

Hour long of TC talking about a fridge, you had me at Fridge.

Ah. Fantastic.

This dude is so good. <3

I watched that wayyyy longer than I thought I would, like most other people here lol

But it was still disappointing that he just hand-waved the two good fridges already having cold stuff (that's when I stopped watching). Anyone from somewhere with constant hurricanes knows that thermal mass is important when keeping a fridge at temp

I fucking love technology connections. Their videos are perfect to have on in the background and it’s super interesting to learn about the tiny details of things that just work in our everyday lives.

Really made me understand why my own fridge (and especially the freezer part) is this bad. Bless this channel

An hour long video on a fridge, huh

Opening line. Okaaaaay. I'll check it out. Not like I don't need another video-essayist to add to my collection of Hbomberguy, Folding Ideas, etc.

ah, my favourite videos on youtube. long rants from technology connections and other similar channels. so soothing even though i often have no idea what is happening

Love this channel, love that you guys over here love it as well. Thanks for being cool, beehaw.
