They have a freezer INSIDE their heated house, I know it's convenient, but the engineer in me gets annoyed when I see that.

maybe we as a society could standardize fridge sizes so we could build fridges that open on the inside but radiate on the outside

Same for heat sources being inside a AC house (oven, fridge, etc) outdoor kitchens make so much sense, or even garage fridges

im sad she hasn't posted a new video in a year.

The freezer itself produces heat too though.

That's a really good point I didn't consider.

Adding heat to a place you want to make warm isn't a problem.

What do you engineer because I am going to stay away from that product.

A refrigerator uses a compression cycle to pump heat from one place to another place. In addition to the heat that is moved, the work itself generates heat.

So refrigerator in a heated house is producing extra heat, which is the goal currently in the heated house...

What an I missing?

maybe we as a society could standardize fridge sizes so we could build fridges that open on the inside but radiate on the outside

That would be more useful for places where houses are generally air conditioned
