     @Monsignor_DickFace I want this, with a single modification: I want the shelves and the bottom freezer to have an enclosed bottoms, so it holds somr of the cold air in while you open it like a deep freezer.

     @teknomunk @Monsignor_DickFace You could do that pretty easily yourself with even a bit of thin cardboard.

     @TeaTootler @Monsignor_DickFace Yeah paying $500 for a fridge today hurts, I couldn't even imagine shelling that out back then.

     @Monsignor_DickFace Would love for somebody to explain why every woman I know has foisted one of these dogshit, faggot-ass fridges on her family thinking it's a better thing. They waste so much space on plastic moldings, drawers, and unchilled sections you can't even use it.

     I truly believe these came in vogue because the majority of buyers today no longer even use their fridge for ingredients, only for storing doordash leftovers, yogurts, premade salads, and read-to-eat zogslop. You simply can't live with one of these if you cook

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Monsignor_DickFace They've finally improved a bit with the fancier models letting you collapse and extend different shelves. They all break way too easily though because of muh ozone hole and high pressure computer controlled gases, which is a perennial discussion.

     @BowsacNoodle @Monsignor_DickFace @WashedOutGundamPilot they don’t let you use CFC refrigerants anymore, they were actually better back then.

     @HWABAG @Monsignor_DickFace @WashedOutGundamPilot Of course they were. We're literally just using propane now, except they call it other names or mix in proprietary enantiomeric mixes of hydrocarbons that don't really do much else besides give Dupont more money until the next patent.

     I wonder how much electricity these use. It's way nicer design than my fridge, but mine only costs ~$30/yr to run it.

     @nike @Monsignor_DickFace so a quick guess would be "twice as much per volume of space" if it's early 60s

     @nike @Monsignor_DickFace the thing to note is that the older refrigerants were a lot nicer. They ran at lower psi, cooled better, etc.
     
     But now that we have new ones, they run at 400psi, do a pretty shitty job of moving heat, and only compensate by having a shit ton of insulation, seals that are super tight and motors that make up the difference, but are very noisy because of the work to compress to high psis

     @Monsignor_DickFace @nike we have on the margins, but a lot of it has been wasted in making throwaway stuff.
     
     Once you optimize stuff for cheap production, people are happy as long as they have a much better model to buy when stuff breaks.
     
     And when you as a company have a lot of things to improve, it can work out, maybe .. but as soon as you stop having easy things to offer people, you get what we've had in a lot of things for the last like 20 years. What is the "big" thing in cars? a billion screens everywhere, integrations with phones that will fail to work in 10 years, etc.
     
     It's kind of an industrial "eating the seed corn"
