Now that the heat wave is over, can we finally admit that AC is not just a symbol of the arrogant American mindset, but a basic appliance for any developed residence?They can still keep their car dependence, infant circumcision, and gun culture.
>>222721804even thirdies have ACi dont know why you guys psyopped yourselves into hating it
>>222721804The highest temp here where I live in the last two weeks was 19 degrees while it was pissing rain. I have never had AC, my car doesn't have AC and I don't need it. A good heater on the other hand is crucial.
Pretty retarded to install an appliance that you're gonna need at most 1,5-2 weeks a year.
>>222721858why?
>>222721858*at least
>>222721804>a basic appliance for any developed residence?Not really. Why do you fixate on AC's as the only way to moderate temps? You are in good heat pump climes as is.
>>222721960its literally the same thing. all heat pumps are air conditioners, but not vice versa.
>>222721804Just buy a portable unit. You can buy cheap ones for like €250 online and they do just fine as long as you use a window kit (like €10). My apartment is at the top floor, it's absolutely cooking in the summer. But my cheapo AC keeps my place at a comfortable temp even when it's 30+ outside.
>>222721915Bad investment, just go on vacation those two unbearable weeks instead.>>222721924Maybe if you live near the French Riviera. In the Scandinavias summer lasts for like 2 weeks lol.
>>222721915>>222721924>>222722056Also, see >>222722038I would do that instead. Then I can stove it away when I don't need it.
>>222722056why is it an either or thing? just do both.
>>222722094>install an AC and go away the two weeks you would use it so you end up never using itI mean, not everyone is a rich American making 600k salaries anon.
>>222722038>>222722078Portable ACs are dogshit with a terrible carbon footprint. Ironically, the crackdown on efficient integrated AC just induces demand for this instead.
>>222722165If you unironically care about footprint then get a heat pump (they are very popular here) and bonus is that it heats during the winter.
>>222722165>Portable ACs are dogshit30+ in my apartment without. 19-20 with. I say that works pretty fucking good. >terrible carbon footprint Ah yes, let me use paper straws, reusable shopping bags and take 30 second showers as well! Fuck off. Non of can do shit against that when a single factory in China pumps out a billion peoples worth of toxins every fucking hour.
>>222721804Nice VPN but you forgot to put into the account that heat wave never reached Denmark
>>222721804
>>222723462based
Europeans need to admit their stance against AC is purely performative. They have ACs in their cars, which arguably, is worse for the environment since that AC is powered by gasoline whereas home AC units in France can be powered by clean sources. Its PURELY cope. insane people like this need to face the music. 1000 people dead in France for their arrogance.
>>222723499yuros hatred for ac is like thirdies hatred for blacks in soccerthey'll yap on and on about it and then turn around and use it/support them if they benefit from it
>>222721804My family has AC but it only works in the living room, so basically one room has a pleasant temperature and the others are still as hot as a tropical jungle
>>222721828>>222721804Degrowth lefties have damaged the grids so far that they can't supply ACs anymore
>>222722056God this is fucking tragic How many more years will we have to tell you that window units are not those things from 70s movies?
>>222722115But you can afford the vacation every year
>>222723499Understand anon that the people who are arguing against AC are just being contrarian idiots online. Not a single one of them would say no to a nice cooled room during summer with the exception of a few tree hugging hippies. You are arguing with people who are willingly and knowingly baiting people for this very reason. Twitter has been basically 99% "US vs Europe: AC Fight" for the last month and that shit has trickled down to Reddit, 4chan and all other sites.
>>222723909Shhh don't break kayfabe we're trying to prank them into actually becoming China's new main business partners
>>222723909I have ac but only use it during the night because I need to sleep well (ironic that I'm writing this at 3:30 am but my tummies is hurting and can't sleep)
>>222721804it never gets too warm where I liveif it gets too cold I just put more clothes onfølesbramann
>>222722165>carbon footprint
>>222721804I'm American and I only use a ceiling fan
>>222724108hope you feel better soon anonykins
>>222722165>muh carbon footprintLmao, kys idiot
