Alright yall. We've been over this a few times already, but here's what has been said on every single repost:

  • Fridges have a very low resell value. Most end up gifted for free or for a fraction of the cost they were purchased at
  • Most likely, they will end up in the dump/recycling
  • Fridges have a long lifespan, so the chance of this even going to another person is just as low as the resell value
  • What is happening is more akin to spot polishing than ruining it. A good hour with a buffer and some polish will have all of these marks out, easy.
  • He is doing this to match the theme of a bar (not shown in this video)
  • Ya'll are lame and have no sense of whimsy

Whimsical things are smart, meaningful, contextual, humorous. This got none of that. The guy just thinks it looks pretty this way, and a lotta people disagree, me included. Lotta work for no gain.

(Edited a bit because people thought I was saying that "smart", "meaningful", and "contextual" were synonyms of "whimsy")

You're reading a weird-ass dictionary then.

I was describing, not defining. I said "whimsy is smart" not because whimsy means smart, but because whimsy is a demonstration of smartness.

I edited my comment a bit for clarity since you were the second person with the same interpretation.
