myrmepropagandistThe temp setting in a kitchen refrigerator is a knob with numbers 1 -10
It is labeled "Temperature Control"
Next to 1 it says "min"
Next to 10 it says "max"
Which setting will make it the coldest?
1
10
Nuance for some reason.

Attie Grande@futurebird My rationale: it's a machine that produces cold... if you want more cold, you have to make the machine work harder, therefore you turn it "up". i.e: 10 is colder than 1.
It's a bit dumb, and certainly open to misinterpretation. I posit that a dial with temperatures would be more sensible, and has probably been within our technical grasp for a while (pretty sure it's on more expensive fridges!).
Hippo 🍉@attie @futurebird my rationale (and conclusion) too
