This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you don't have air conditioning, you live in Alaska or you're just crazy.

If america jumped off a bridge...

Wait that hits too close to home.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 98 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My guess: american guests expect 70s temps or AC. Homey runs airbnb, guests want it and go to his competition that offers it, therefore he's bullied.

poor fuckin' baby.

Much of Europe is getting hotter. AC is literally a life-saving technology on extremely hot days. No, it's not mere "comfort". Old people, in particular, are at high risk.

And it's not like Europe is completely blameless when it comes to global warming, either.

Dude climate change demands these. Have them powered by solar panels and its a win/win

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 28 points 3 days ago

They might have meant that. Americans using climate change to bully them to install a mini split.

I love living in a country/part of the country that doesn't really need AC. Today is the hottest day this week peaking at 27°c but the rest of the week is like 23°c. Perfect weather to go to the beach to cool off.

John American actually invented those, back when he created the cheeseburger.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

John American is a fat fucking piece of shit. Also, I fucked his sister. She's in-fucking-sane but fun in bed.

That's not a great place for a compressor, direct exposure to the weather means they are unable to exchange heat as efficiently. Why'd they put it up there?

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 59 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lack of space is the primary reason for putting it on a roof. It will get direct sunlight and there will random temperature differences so efficiency will never really be perfect. The condenser coils are also covered and it's not open like a ground unit would be.

They could put it in the shade, and that would be nice. I am curious where they should put it in this case...

[–] inktvip@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those “American style” ground units in Europe. They all look like the one in the picture and are predominantly wall or roof mounted.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

They exist, but primarily for heavy duty or professional use - think office spaces or supermarkets. Most homes are fine with wall units.

A sprawling yard to put things on is a very american thing.

Well you messed it up anon. You'll need a bigger antenna for good wifi ac

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Nah, that's the antenna to watch TV for the TV watching license.

I have heard that they recently passed a bill for having a toaster license you have to use to use your own damn toaster.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I heard about the TV Watching License from my boyfriend the other day. I honestly thought he was joking, what a way to find out he wasn't.

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Same with me. Literally I thought it was a joke. Although, I AM joking about the toaster license. It's a refrence to a clip from the 2012 libertarian presidential debate (if you did not know, of course).
