That's why you should be an American Made GE brand fridge, so that you get spied on by the NSA instead.
Lord Voldemort Putin-Putin von Pütlér is everywhere, even in my fridge. He is sitting there, shirtless, between my artisanal tonic waters and pickled artichokes, bare skin a bit blueish from the cold, and whispers to me "c-c-curse your NATO membership that prevents me from denazifying your country!"
Absolutely hate every media attempt to bring back WWII-era civic vitality in an era where we have no social safety nets and the president has to beg oil companies to lower prices on social media.
Dumping your fridge without having it de-gassed is an emissions nightmare, owing to the hydroflourocarbons' having many thousands of times as much greenhouse potential. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluorocarbon
Is getting a new fridge actually efficient or is this one of those things that only makes sense when you don't consider the environmental impact of making a new fridge?
I recently bought a new fridge (old one died) and it is a bit more efficient. But there is zero chance that we will save $500 (the price of the new fridge) in electricity cost compared to the old one over the next 10 years.
Something in the water/ice system if it has one will break in 4 years and a repair person will tell you it can't be fixed due to complexity, part availability, etc.
I've seen it happen to like 3-4 of my parents' fridges in the last 20 years. "good" fridge breaks down in some annoying way, gets put into the garage where there's no water hookup anyway where it can seemingly work as a fridge forever. Only gets replaced when more recent good fridge also has a water/ice system issue that the repair people are unable to fix.
The appliance industry runs on bullshit like this.
Our best appliances were made before planned obsolescence became an industry standard.
There are calculators out there for this shit, but effectively it's only potentially worthwhile if your fridge is like >25 years old and using cyclopentane or some shit.
That scene from Watchmen where Rorschach is hiding in the fridge, but it's Putin instead
He's still eating beans though
Red-blooded American! Your kitchen could be helping the kaiser! Ask your husband about Bramco's 100% Yankee-made electric ice box.
damn my fridge is connected, last thing i want to do is make it mad by throwing it out
Yeah, that rust bucket has been holding out on me. Could have become a rare-earth oligarch years ago.
You don’t want to keep giving your money to those greedy people? So keep buying maybe next year there’s going to be a fridge made by BLM protestors in jail. But we will give ten cents to the democrats for every fridge bought. :capitalist-woke:
consuming fossil fuels isn't bad because climate change will usher in planet-wide horrors and destroy the biosphere, it's bad because it benefits Putin
