Yeah, sure. The heat spread.

But when the filament is only heated for THE SECONDS THE FRIDGE IS OPEN, no, it doesn’t really have time to heat much.

Everyone keeps bringing up lights that are supposed to be on for hours, or literally never turn off.

We are discussing the few seconds a bulb is on in a fridge.

Lamps that are on constantly, all day every day?

Yes, the heat they put out is plenty.

A fridge lamp that’s in for a few seconds? No.

To anyone who doesn’t know, a 100w “equivalent” is not the same thing as a 100w diode.

I think the led equivalent on the last 100w replacement I bought was 3w?

I have a 10w led that I rigged up to light my entire back yard at night.

With the way bulbs are designed, all the heat is in the filament, and a bit gets transferred to the glass. The filament cools very quickly, hence it goes dark, and the glass is so thin that there isn’t a meaningful change in temperature of the surrounding air once it’s shut off.

Add that into the massive heat sink that is the contents of your fridge, not to mention the sheer volume of air that tiny amount of heat has to warm up… Anyone legitimately concerned about it heating the inside of the fridge needs some refresher courses in science.

The smaller the fridge, the more it’ll affect the inside, but it’s still negligible.

I have no data beyond anecdotal experience, so if someone wants to set up a scientific study, I’ll happily skim the abstract and make sweeping judgements about the content!

Here’s the thing…

KITT? Is that you in disguise?

It’s insane to me that I can click on a video that was posted by a creator with under 10k subscribers, less than 15 minutes ago, and it already has dozens of votes for submitted segments.

And some videos, people go waaaaay out for segments, little 2 second skips for subscribe reminders, while blocks rendered down into 5 types of segments so depending on your settings, you might get some of it, or you might get just the meat of the content with no fluff or filler.

I LOVE the “interaction” skip on some content creators, because they like to address the audience unnecessarily trying to drive comment interaction up. I totally get why they do that, and I respect their decision, but I also have no intention of commenting on 90% of videos, so asking “what do YOU think? Head down to the comments and…” will get nothing from me, but might from someone else. And now I can skip those.

Re/vanced and now this have been the best things about YouTube since like 2007.

My last ISP decided your address every 24 hours unless you had an active internet connection (currently up/downloading).

Given I used to run servers for friends on different games, it was super annoying.

Honestly i think I’d prefer that now. Last year I got a notice about Capcom complaining of piracy. My wife and I are the only ones who even use our internet, it’s a hidden network and our nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile down the road on one side, and about 2 miles on the other. I haven’t played a Capcom game since my sister and I used to play RE5 when it first came out. So tell me, Capcom. If you’re so insistent it was me, and I know it wasn’t, who was it then? By their logic, I’m already guilty because I pay for the service.
