@futurebird Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle.
@Jo @futurebird no, the truth is out there

The temp setting in a kitchen refrigerator is a knob with numbers 1 -10
It is labeled "Temperature Control"
Next to 1 it says "min"
Next to 10 it says "max"Which setting will make it the coldest?
@futurebird I have so many questions about this poll
I chose 1, obviously

@futurebird haha these are just impossible! Why don’t they add some symbols like one, two, five snowflakes? (Btw Italian home appliance manuals are the absolute nightmare. They make no sense whatsoever. But Japanese ones- everything is beautifully logical)

@futurebird I hope a sharpie is employed to annotate the controls after you figure it out.

@futurebird It’s 2026 for God’s sake. Just give me a damn thermostat with a temperature I can precisely choose.

@futurebird This is possibly the best use of Mastodon poll I’ve ever seen. I voted, but with little confidence. And I own a refrigerator, too. I hope you’ll post the "correct" answer afterward.
@gleick @futurebird oh, you own one? Is your refrigerator running?

@evan @futurebird yes, and I'm old enough to remember that gag.

@gleick @futurebird I figured you would! 😉

@ottaross @futurebird a Sharpie, or a small axe. Perhaps a mattock.

@randulo @futurebird
Does that mean 6-18° (-12°)? -
@futurebird The proper temperature setting of a refrigerator is 5 degrees C. "Temperature Control" clearly determines how precisely this value is kept, the stiffness of the thermostat. The long-term mean temperature is not affected by the knob, just how much it wiggles around it.
I'll let myself out
@martinvermeer @futurebird Correct for a "one size fits all" fridge.
Wrong for a "cold box to store stuff in".
Good idea for an extra "cooling mode" switch in the back. -

@futurebird having had to try to figure out this completely ambiguous labeling on my own refrigerator, I can confidently tell you that I have no idea and whoever did this is bad at their job

@futurebird@sauropods.win A refrigerator at max power is the coldest it can be. -

Or “Cool - Cold”
Or “Coldest” next to the appropriate number.Anything to give context. “Min - Max” adds no information, because I already know that 10 is more than 1.

@futurebird I guess the latter but keep mine at 5 to be safe.

@futurebird "temperature" control, plus the fact that you posted this, means it is almost certainly set so that 1 is the coldest and 10 warmest
but i'm voting 10 anyway because, notwithstanding any delusions by the manufacturer, that is the correct answer -

@futurebird I really appreciate "more cold" -- "less cold" thermostats for this reason. I know it defies the laws of physics, but counterargument: I know which way to turn it for which effect.

Mine goes from 0 to 7, but between 0 and 1 you can feel a slight resistance like turning a switch on or off. So I guess 0 means off and 1 is lowest and 7 highest setting. But I'm not sure because the temperature difference between different settings doesn't seem to differ, and my fridge temperature is too high anyway. So it's probably defective and 1 could be highest?
I hope that helps :D

My fridge has one to three ❄️. But this is a refrigerator; is the manufacturer trying to taunt me that my lettuce will get frozen no matter what?

@mcc @grumpygamer damn this is an extremely interesting mathematical question. What is the expected mean number of dies when the process stops?

@book on the one hand, I have definitely heard and read it, and I would have used the expression. On the other, I am not a native English speaker so take my experience with a grain of salt

@atomicpoet anything as long as it remains in the discourse

@Space_Burger_Steve @afreytes no, thank you for the explanation! I love culinary cultural exchanges!

From my trip to #Florida, a blossom from a #silktree (#kapok). Huge, red, almost waxy… the tree is leafless this time of year and covered with these massive blooms that fall all over below. #bloomscrolling

@nina_kali_nina I just mean trolling in the sense of being antagonistic. shock art is usually intended to challenge the viewer through a negative emotional response. sometimes it's meant to be thought provoking, like getting the viewer fixated on why an object they think shouldn't be in a museum is in the museum. but not always

@grumpygamer I hereby apply for the job of graphics designer.
I can also transform a cube by extruding and scaling. Think about the possibilities.
