It really is weird. I guess from other comments that this is something about those fancy and expensive fridges that no normal people have with water dispenser on the door and ice sometimes... Maybe?

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

At least 50% of American fridges do indeed have ice and filtered water dispensers built in and I think they're great :) ice cold, delicious water any time of the day? Yes please.

They're not even that "fancy/expensive" as it's fairly standard

if i want cold water, i just let the tap water run for a bit and drink that. granted, its not ice cold, but do you really need it to be freezingly cold?

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Honestly, yes. Frigid water is extremely tasty

Something something, ICE TO MEET YOU! something something.

The water in my sink only gets lukewarm at the coldest.

It gets pretty much ice cold where I live. It's nice

[-] PancakeBrock@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

The last time I got a fridge I bought the cheapest one it could find. It dispensed water but did not have an ice maker.

I just turn the tap to cold for that

I do like that my countries tap water is perfectly drinkable/inflammable. I have no need for such fridges.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Just fyi inflammable means flammable .

Inflammable is something that can be inflamed

[-] shikitohno@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

But in case anyone was at risk of thinking they understood the logic of the English language, flammable also means inflammable, so good luck.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Most of North America, the tap water is perfectly drinkable; but it can still be improved with extra filtration.

These also provide water colder than a tap can.

To be clear, very much a luxury item, not a necessity in any way. They've just become quite common over here.

The filters are also particulate filters; they won't do much if your water is actually considered unhealthy due to bacterial contamination/you're on a boil water notice.

Wait...mnot only do y'all not have garbage disposers; you don't have refrigerators with built in ice machines and water filters? That's crazy. You you're just stuck having to get ice from those little refillable trays?

[-] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What would you need a machine to make ice in a freezer? Sounds stupid.

[-] IamAnonymous@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It’s not. It’s about the quantity. How many trays for ice are you going to keep in the freezer? The machine makes constant ice so multiple people can use the ice and you don’t need to refill the tray everytime and wait.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

I never fill an ice tray or open the door. I simply put my cup up to the front of the fridge and ice falls into it. Cubed or crushed. Having to use those little ice trays and pop cubes out of it every time you want ice is what sounds stupid.
