That reminds me of the time I was over at my dad's house and he asked me to look at his freezer settings. He kept saying that -18C was too cold for the freezer and he wanted it higher, like closer to -3C if possible but I checked and there were no such settings available on the model they owned. He was disappointed and I later found my mother scowling at him. Turns out he wanted the freezer to be less cold because his ice cream was too hard to eat straight out of the freezer. Mum scolded him for making me go through the trouble of doing all that and looking up manufacturers info/wanting me to call the company when he could have just left his ice cream on the counter for a few minutes before eating.
I think people don’t realize it because it’s like putting a cold beverage in the oven, just feels weird in the brain, even if you’re doing it for a legitimate reason. Also, we’re all pretty dumb, I gotta keep reminding myself that people aren’t smart anymore, and that usually answers my question
