Date: January 13th, 2026 9:04 AM Author: Smoked Double Baked Sweet Potato Skins and Wings (gunneratttt) i had one growing up and yeah i never thought to get one later, partially because of this, so this is probably tcr. however it's odd that they seemed ubiquitous in the 90s yet have completely vanished since. i can't remember the last time ive seen one. even a dead one like how you still see dead home intercoms all the time.

Date: January 13th, 2026 9:15 AM Author: potluck my childhood home also had a trash compactor and an intercom system. me and my neighbor buddy were working on a short movie about a trash compactor that was compacting the whole world into itself. other random plotlines interspersed with footage of my family trash compactor at work.

Date: January 13th, 2026 10:18 AM Author: Smoked Double Baked Sweet Potato Skins and Wings (gunneratttt) i shudder to think what has become of my home movies.
i remember the trash compactor getting maggot infested once and it was a bitch to clean out. to this day maggote are the only creature that makes me gag with disgust. |

Date: January 13th, 2026 10:18 AM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., yeah i noticed a forcememe on them. idgi.
i'm assuming people have shitty apartment fridges w/ no icemakers or their fridge icemakers break and they dont want to replace the whole fridge.
anyone who can afford valuable counter space for an ice maker you'd think has a nice enough kitchen with a fridge ice maker. |

Date: January 13th, 2026 10:21 AM Author: Smoked Double Baked Sweet Potato Skins and Wings (gunneratttt) it's the opposite, actually. now it's prestigious to have a stand alone icemaker with none built into your fridge. combo units are like tv/vcr combos.

Date: January 13th, 2026 10:50 AM Author: Smoked Double Baked Sweet Potato Skins and Wings (gunneratttt) yeah im not a big icemo myself personally. but it's just a fact that stand alone icemakers are all the rage in high end kitchens these days.

Date: January 13th, 2026 10:17 AM Author: Smoked Double Baked Sweet Potato Skins and Wings (gunneratttt) ok but they were common in homes, are no longer, and I haven't thought about them in decades and wondered if my online friends would be similarly reminded of a once-common thing they had forgotten about.

Date: January 13th, 2026 10:24 AM Author: Kenneth Play (emotional girth) totally fair! i am just questioning, what was their utility in the home to begin with. was the home or the garbage truck space-limited or something? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5821446&forum_id=2#49585777) |

Date: January 13th, 2026 10:32 AM Author: Smoked Double Baked Sweet Potato Skins and Wings (gunneratttt) i think it was more about convenience -- fewer trips to the garbage can, fewer cans to take to the curb on garbage day. makes sense in theory, after all im sure everyone here jas manually compacted garbage to avoid taking it out.

Date: January 13th, 2026 10:41 AM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., as i said below, the issue may lie with "garbage day." we need a deep dive on garbage day to determine when and where weekly garbage pickup became widespread (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5821446&forum_id=2#49585801) |
