Technology Connections have a video about how water heaters work in detail and how much power can be saved by strategically turning them off when not needed.

However, the website has some weird vibes as well, like why would you say something like below?

> And some just want Dad Mode for when your teenager needs to finish that shower.

There's several layers of humor in TC videos, the cringe joke, the acknowledgement that "I'm making a cringe joke", the acknowledgement that the joke is still lame with the meta-joke, the "well I put it in the video anyway, aren't I funny?".

But the end result makes me cringe after all.

Edit: oh, you're talking about this product website...

Yeah, that was a sneaky one on my part.

One thing I learned from the video was how do water heaters get away with giving higher capacity numbers than they actually have. Well, apparently, kind of like air, hot water also rises and the heater keeps working while in use and it also has secondary heater element it can switch to, so it can follow the cold-hot water separation line.
