16 is absolutely not turn based, I’m not sure where you got that idea.

That’s awesome, you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.
It supposedly had something to do with calculus and the ratio between the diameter of the inner most groove to the diameter of the outermost groove being optimal at that size, but I’m not sure how much of that is genuine or just marketing. I’ve also heard that the larger hole is better for the mechanisms in jukeboxes.

The adapter does not affect the speed of the turntable, and you would still need to flip the switch on the record player to 45 RPM. These physically smaller (7") records were commonly referred to as singles because they would hold a single song per side.
The larger (12") 33 1/3 RPM records had a smaller spindle than 45s, which meant you would need to use an adapter like the one pictured to play a 45, as demonstrated in the video shared by @thermal_shock@lemmy.world.
Since 33s were physically larger and played at a slower speed, you could fit much more music on each side of the disc. That’s why those discs would be used for entire albums, and were also commonly referred to as LPs (Long Plays).

That’s not really all that special or unique. There are lots of things that many people would instantly recognize that others would have never seen before.
45/33 1/3 RPM records might be well within your wheelhouse, but would you recognize a 78 RPM record, or an Edison wax cylinder at first glance? How about the image below?

Abcde (pronounced AB-sid-ee) was certainly memorable if nothing else.

Big laundry. I don’t even remember what the reason was. I guess I assumed I would remember like it was some sort of genius idea. Big laundry, big laundry, it’s crazy, I’m a crazy person.
