Why do people call it a "hot water heater"?

This entire thread is ridiculous. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go make some ice in the freezer.

Your freezer doesn’t have that on auto? My fridge came with a frozen ice maker. It’s so cool.

Never mind if you can’t figure it out.

"air conditioner" can mean either heating or cooling in most non-US places.

You must mean a "cold air cooler"

do you also have a "cold air conditioner" wrote:

It doesn't heat hot water. It heats regular tap temperature water into hot water.

A bowel movement isn't the movement of your bowel, the sphincter does the work.

Ever heard of peristalsis, bro? A bowl that doesn't move is how you end up with megacolon. And no, that isn't the name of a Transformer.

What about a semicolon? That's one the size of a truck.

Let me adjust my tin foil hat and think about it

Sun glasses.

Impossible to wear them on a cloudy day?

If you have a hot water heater, you probably should put more insulation around it.

Unless you claim that the target temperature of your hot water is the closed lower bound of the range of temperatures considered hot, then there exists some lower temperature (infinitely many, even) that is also hot. This will be the temperature of the water in the heater at least instantaneously at some point in the heating process. The heater will therefore be heating water that is already hot, and thus a hot water heater.

New cold water may enter the heater as the hot water is used, but usually not enough to lower the temperature in the heater to anything less than hot. Only when it's initially started up is it a cold water heater.

Just put your hand in the flame underneath the tank and tell me whether it is HOT or not!!!!

what if the water was lukewarm? The reason is because hot water heater would sell better than cold-water heater it gives the feeling that the heater would produce boiling water the other one doesn't give this sense. In many languagues repeting a word is very common for emphasizing people sometimes connect the meaning of two words although it isn't necessary. Our senses work comparing data to previous data (that why in some situation it gives us the untrue data) because the heater heats water the action was connected to the state of the water.

This is probably the first sensible response to the OP.

Yes, some people call it a 'hot water heater'. That is incorrect. It is a 'water heater'. Now to more important issues:

Why do people say 'out of pocket' when they will be unavailable (i.e., on a flight?). Out of pocket means that you have to pay with your own money, out of your own pocket. I guess it's because people keep their phones in their pockets and when they are flying, then ... wait, no, it is still totally wrong.

Well done!

I don't park on a driveway, you elitist pig. I park on the street like everyone else in my neighborhood. Sorry if this doesn't fit your bourgeois narrative of what American life is supposed to be.

Doesn’t own a house.
