I grew up in the north and we weren't that wealthy when I was a kid.
As soon as it was cold out, we had an empty old freezer outside by our back porch. Mom and dad filled it with frozen food because the outside was cold, the inside was cold and no need to run any refrigeration. Dad just put a padlock on it with a giant latch to keep dogs or animals from opening it. I don't think the old thing worked at all, they just used it as a giant ice box. Inside, mom just used a small refrigerator for a few food items.
Then in the springtime, mom would regulate the food to use up as much as possible while keep a small supply to move indoors to a medium sized freezer that she turned on for the summer months.
YSK: most tiny refrigerators are super wastefull and can often cost more energy then a fullsized one while not even keeping the food consumption safe.
Obv i dont know what types of refrigerator your mom had access too but for everyone else just because its smaller doesn’t mean it costs less.
Technology connections has a video on thia i believe.
This is like ... ??? ... 40 freaking years ago ... (damn I'm old)
Since then, once us boys got old enough, we started making money for the family and actually building businesses and companies. We got it to the point where we supplied mom and dad with two full sized large freezers we kept running and filled year round.
Love Alec, he makes impeccable videos
Heat pump.
I know it's a joke and all, but this really does a disservice to native Inuit / Inuktitut technology.
An igloo can have a fire inside and be very comfortable.
But I don't want to be too strict with this comic, since it also misrepresents how cooling technology works in a fridge, so equality, I guess.
100%, the igloo is a masterpiece
