/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I've seen some stupidly labeled things but this one takes the cake. I have no idea, OP.

personally i always picked GDI for those badass mammoth tanks

Wide line is cold

right=tight=warmer
left=loose=cooler

>>10753781
it's called trial and error you useless fucking boomer

I'd turn it clockwise for colder

>>10753781
Anticlockwise

>>10753865
Proll this.
>>10753866
But mostly this.

>>10753781
Clockwise?

A fridge makes things cold. The band thickens as you turn the knob clockwise, implying more. More what? More 'cold'.

Consider pic related, the knob on the left. Imagine removing the red band and making the blue band colorless.

Either way this is horribly retarded and non-user friendly. I'm reminded of my dad's prius, where if you're listening to satellite radio the song name appears in a line labeled 'TITLE' while the artist appears in a line labeled 'NAME'

my fucking sides

>>10753866
I'm arguing with a refractor to tests and I'm building a case.

>>10753866
>freezing and letting perishables get warm instead of asking around and finding out ten times faster
Millennials really are retarded, and I'm not even a boomer.

>>10753872
But that makes complete sense... song title, band name. Are you literally retarded?

>>10753872
But if it was water, Blue on left, and Red on right,
you would turn left to get Cold water?

>>10753859

>>10753882
>he doesn't have a thermometer

>>10753883
It makes sense after you think about it but it's still horribly vague and unintuitive, and vastly inferior to just saying 'SONG' and 'ARTIST'. The latter is far less likely to be misunderstood and can be figured out as quickly as you can read it.

>>10753895
>It makes sense after you think about it
Nah it makes sense pretty much immediately as long as you're not a brain damaged autist.

>>10753890
If you insist on doing it that way, you need to wait for the condenser to turn off and then crank the knob one way and see if it comes back on right away.
Fridges don't hold a constant temperature. Dumb millennials can't into troubleshooting.

>>10753899
Dude, if you can't see why having fields labeled 'NAME' and 'TITLE' is a vastly poorer design choice than 'SONG' and 'ARTIST' you're the autistic one.

>>10753887
Yes, because the label is on the outside of the knob and you turn the knob so the knob 'points' to your selection.

In OP's pic, the label is on the knob itself, and so whatever the knob is attached to serves as the 'pointer'. Instead of turning the knob to point to your selection, you're turning your options so the one you want is underneath the pointer.

TL;DR if the label is on the knob you'd turn it in the opposite direction than if the label was written around the knob. It's not a hard concept to figure out.

>>10753909
while technically wrong, i'm sure through context people would have understood what you meant by condenser.

>>10753931
Actually, the condenser is the passive exchange coils on the back. The compressor makes the noise.

>>10753956
right, but i got what he or (you) meant through context anyway. on an anonymous imageboard there is no need to really correct yourself look at me and my shit grammar and no capitalization.

>>10753913
They use name and title because they're more general and cover more content than just music.

>>10754064
They mean even fucking less in any other context than music.

>>10754074
How do you figure that?

>>10754103
see
>>10753883

'TITLE' and 'NAME' only make sense because you connect them with their respective, commonly used phrases: 'song title' or 'band name'.

What other media could you possibly play through a prius that 'TITLE' and 'NAME' would be understandable fields for the name of a file and the name of its source?

All I can think of is video. In that context, 'title' and 'name' become interchangeable because you don't have a similar pair of phrases like 'song title, band name' that applies to a video file. 'TITLE' is just as applicable a descriptor for the name of a file as 'NAME' is.

How do you figure that 'TITLE' and 'NAME' cover more content than just music? Keep in mind, we're talking about a car.

The ultimate point I'm getting at is that the words 'TITLE' and 'NAME' are *too* general, to the point of likely obfuscating the meaning of either field.

>>10754130
Podcasts, recordings, comedy albums, audiobooks, maybe some kind of radio show if it's satellite radio.

>>10754147
Are you implying that under any of those other contexts, either word (honestly getting sick of typing 'title' and 'name' by this point) remains meaningful? I maintain that either only work because of their connection to 'song title' and 'band name', which only work if you're thinking/talking about or playing music.

>>10754160
Yes I am implying that. Book title, podcast title, etc. Makes more sense than book song or podcast song.

severe autism in this thread

Just checked my old ass fridge

Mine is labeled 1-10,with 10 being the coldest setting. I have to turn it counterclockwise towards 10.

That is completely counterintuitive.

>>10754170
Book name, podcast name...

The problem stems from the fact that name and title are ultimately synonyms and are interchangeable in 90% of either word's usage.

>>10754191
this but unironically

>>10754204
Okay anon.

>>10754191
You see this one I understand, because the fridge is generating cold, so I need MORE COLD, so a superior number.

But I totally get both logics.

>>10753865
Are we talking turning with your left or right hand here?

>>10753781
Clockwise is colder
>"fan speed" for lack of better terms is black bar
>tick at 12 o' Clock to mark the current setting
>more "fan speed" is more cold
>less is less (obviously)
