Whats interesting that im supposed to be seeing? Honestly asking

[-] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Probably the crazy number of accordion folds in there. It has to be to increase surface area, but some people might be unaware of how that looks on the inside?

[-] Korval@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe the fact that the heat sink is shiny and clean while the rest is grimy and gross? I think you would normally expect there to be lots of dust on the fins, deposited by years of convection. On the other hand, since the cover is off, it's probably reasonable to think they've just replaced the part? Idk, I'm guessing (about all of it).

It doesn't produce heat. I think the cover got recycled.

I'd assumed it was open BECAUSE it wasn't producing heat; that is, because it was broken. And isn't the cover lying on the carpet in front of the heater?

But maybe I'm completely misunderstanding. Can you tell us what you photographed and what we should be noticing?

I have several of these things to deal with, some are this type and some are just "space heaters"

They probably just haven't seen those floor heaters before and thought it was kind of interesting.

Depending on where you are you might not see them but in bigger older cities they are a lot of places.

The fact they have it right there on carpet makes it mildly dangerous I'd say.

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
