Why do Europoors give New Worlders shit for having A/C?
Is it jealousy, stupidity, or both?
Pic related: my new A/C, which is pumping my apartment full of fresh, cool air at this very moment.
>>61539586
bro you're fucking poor
>fresh
not if you live in a city. better buy an air purifier unless you enjoy cancer
>>61539586
whats does the robot thingy do?
I always wanted an AC, now i have basement room so it ok.
>>61539586
>that sloppy patch job
does your landlord hate you?
most of mine tell you up front you can't have A/C because they don't like the negative curb appeal.
>>61539622
>whats does the robot thingy do?
It's a humidifier.
>That shitty window unit
>Not having central air in North America
>Not at least having an inverter.
Jesus bruh
>>61539655
m8 literally nobody except for the super duper rich has central air
>>61541332
>literally nobody except for the super duper rich has central air
Is this trolling?
>>61541355
nope, not in New York at least
>>61541332
Everyone has central air, even my shitty ass apartment has it.
>>61541332
What kind of backwater shithole do you live in? Even cheap apartments have central air and heating.
Or just toughen the fuck up desu.
Especially in Canada of all places you waste of genetic material.
>>61541332
everybody in texas has central air. i live in a student ghetto, and my apartment has central air and a window unit.
>>61541400
>especially in Canada
>a country with a continental climate, i.e. hot summers
>australian education
>>61541465
Australian education rightfully doesn't give a shit about NA geography, we have a country large enough to cover most bases in that respect.
But seriously though, assuming central heating is independent of the air-con in OP's building, fucking why? Can these people seriously not stand weather in the high twenties to low thirties? That's weak.
>>61541400
What about me? I live in Phoenix, it was 4 people died a few weeks ago because they didn't have access to A/C.
>>61541332
LITERALLY everybody has central air.
>>61541513
Trying to sleep when it's 30 indoors is basically impossible. If it actually cooled down sufficiently at night where I lived, AC wouldn't be necessary. As it is though, trying to get by without is futile.
>>61541622
>Trying to sleep when it's 30 indoors is basically impossible
It's really not. Unpleasant I'll accept, but "impossible" is just being a princess.
>>61541734
Just shut the FUCK up
>>61541332
There was only one time in my life I never had central air and it was in a shitty college apartment
>>61541734
Must be that Abo blood
>>61541734
>tfw /int/ memes are accurate
>>61539622
thank you for asking that, that was my very first thought upon seeing op's picture.
>tfw my mobile AC unit won't arrive till Monday
Just kill me now....
I live on the second story of a building with central air...still have a window unit because central isn't enough when it gets really hot or even when it's mildly hot and someone turns on the oven.
Heat rises.
North America has one of those retarded climates where any humidity in the air basically just sticks around forever and never fucking leaves.
Where I live, the average humidity is around 85% during the summer months.
>>61539586
well it's the middle of summer and it's cloudy windy and rainy.
>>61541923
sounds awful
>>61541919
It's glorious, if only it were hotter. Tornadoes suck though
>>61541400
I can sleep hot without aircon, but when I was in Toronto, shit was at 100% humidity all day and night. It was only 20 C or so in the evening but I was sweating my balls off. When it's hot in Perth at least, it's always dry.
>>61542096
Humidity always makes things worse.
why don't you use things like these?
>>61541355
My house was 200 years old so no
Only shitty prefab McMansions in the Northeast have central air
>>61542211
Looks wasteful

>>61539586
It's an unecessary waste of energy. Just get your house properly insulated and use heat recovery ventilation for use both in summer and winter
>>61542467
You do realize that North America has much more extreme temperature variation throughout the year than western Europe, right?
>>61542580
Yes, but you still don't need an AC when it's just 30°C outside as in Canada.
>>61542211
Not op. It's more difficult to install. We have this at work in the server room.
>>61542689
You realize that North Americans work year round and don't take two month long vacations because it's too hot, right?
>>61542689
That's still hot as fuck though...
>>61542737
You're probably talking to a "new" German.
>>61542737
You aren't used to normal temperature variation anymore, that's it. I'm from the far north of Germany (55° N) and 30°C isn't hot as fuck. It's normal summer temperature.
>>61542728
So do we, the French are the ones with the long summer vacation.
A well insulated home with HRV will be around 22°C when it's 30°C outside, which is fairly comfortable. And this was my point, an AC is not necessary in these climates.
>>61542749
kek

What climates? What are you talking about? You probably think Canadians live in igloos. Toronto is at the same latitude as Rome and the average July temperature is 3 degrees higher than Berlin.
>>61542914
saved
>>61542846
>It's normal summer temperature.
Hamburg's July average is 4 degrees lower than Toronto.
>>61542934
>>61542988
I actually thought about Vancouver, which has the same climate as Hamburg, just with less rain and a bit warmer in winter.
An latitudes don't say anything. Germanys most famous beach resort is on the same latitude as the Hudson bay
>>61542934
You really need to look up Celsius to Fahrenheit conversions friend
without A/C I couldn't survive in summer
>>61543029
>>61543039
We use Celsius in Canada, you dope.
>>61543081
>Germanys most famous beach resort is on the same latitude as the Hudson bay
Yeah I don't suppose they're south where there is no sea. I've been to the baltic and it's cold.
>>61541770
>It came to this.
>>61541589
Yeah that's different though, Phoenix is a furnace and warrants A/C.... but Canada?
>>61539586
It never goes above 20c or below 5c here so their is no point.
>>61543106
>>61541332
Good bait lad
>>61541770
hey it's not his fault that you're a pussy
>>61543125

>>61543059
>>61543106
he's right tho. it's pretty fucking hard to sleep when you're sitting there with sweat dripping from every single fucking pore
>>61543176
sunshine duration doesn't mean anything. >>61543059
If anything, use this map.
>>61543209
I corrected myself you annoying sperg.
>>61543189
Makes sense considering it's winter in Australia in July.
Also my point still stands. Aircon in 30C heat? It's hardly a necessity.
>>61543202
>sweat dripping from every single fucking pore
This must be the Canadian intolerance to warmth I've heard so much about.
>>61543125
A big reason we need the A/C is that our homes have a lot of insulation for the cold winter. This means they hold heat well, which makes summers unbearable.
>>61543242
That's the most reasonable argument I've heard so far, and makes a lot sense than Canadians insisting that 30C is too hot.
>>61543229
>Makes sense considering it's winter in Australia in July.
Compare it to the northern hemisphere. I didn't have an air conditioner when I lived in Alberta, but Toronto has a completely different climat. Humidity levels are vastly different near the Great Lakes as opposed to in the middle of a steppe.
>>61539586
wait a second, are you telling me that other european countries don't have air conditioners?
>>61543229
add on 90% humidity and it's literally hell on earth
>>61543296
Do you know what latitudes are?
>>61543272
When I was in Oz there was one cold night, and the house was colder than anything I'd experienced outside a cabin. Apparently nobody uses insulation there so when it was 8C outside it was 8C inside.
>>61543242
That's not how insulation works. A well insulated house is colder in the summer.
>>61543272
Most people in Australia don't live in the desert and most people in Canada don't live in the tundra. Sydney's hottest average is 2 degrees higher than Toronto.
>>61543081
>>61543314
even great britain reaches 30° in summer, so what's your point?
Of course I don't expect someone from Lapland to use it.
You only really need an AC for a few days per year in Finland so it's kind of pointless.
>>61543354
>even great britain reaches 30°
Reaching a temperature doesn't matter.
But have a look at
>>61543059
It's actually the perfect temperature today.
>>61541734
>what is humidity
25C in Germany are worse than 40C in Australia, I can tell you that.
>>61543375
that map is 16 years old, today the average temperature has increased.
And everything over 25° makes you sweaty, so it's reasonable to have AC.
>>61543398
I'll agree with that. I live in Aberdeen, and anything over 15 degrees is too warm for me.
>>61543430
Well its to be pissing down and 17 degrees over the week in Aberdeen so the rain will cool you down.
>>61543344
not really. there's still heat being generated in the house from all kinds of shit like appliances, lights and even the people inside. windows also still allow a lot of heat in and with all the insulation it's harder for all that heat to escape. air flow is also minimal so without the air being moved around that heat just sits there
>go to north america
>wake up cold
>go outside get hot
>go inside and get cold
>go outside and get hot
>go inside and get cold
Literally wtf are you guys doing
>>61539586
It really finishes the 3rd world look you are going for.
>>61543514
we don't go outside and if we do it's only to get in our giant SUVs which also have air conditioning. we use those SUVs to go to stores and shit which again also have air conditioning. we're never actually exposed to the outside temperatures for more then 2 min at a time
>>61543544
Well with you Scandinavian countries trying so hard to be third world lately, there is a lot of competition.
>>61543514
>be brit
>be cold all the time because shitty leaky houses
>>61543577
Sounds like something your prime minister would do.
>>61543547
That sound's awful desu
>>61543589
>cold
>britain
Britain is the comfiest climate possible, never very cold never very hot
>>61543670
it keeps us comfortable. the consumerist lifestyle on the other hand is pretty retarded but i don't see that changing now
>>61543479
When it's warmer outside, heat can't escape until it's warmer inside than outside. But again, I'm not arguing for no system at all. Just use a system where the warm air from outside gets cooled down by the colder air from inside that is released. If you add a small heat pump to that system and not a huge AC unit, you can easily cool your home at such low temperatures as 30°C.
>living in France
>African tier heat wave comes in, 40 C every day for 2 weeks
>no air condotioning

Holy shit I missed all of the conveniences of America, never again
>>61539586
They are pretty common in central/southern Spain
>>61543793
>move to the arab lands
>expect anything different
>>61541622
No it's not
>-20 in winter
>30+ in summer
While I wouldn't mind having an AC unit, it just seems wasteful to buy it and then only use it for like 2-3 weeks each year.
>>61543839
I was young and stupid and fell for the study abroad meme
Cozy in bed, window is open, 25 today. No fucking bugs. 35 next week but air conditioning is love.
>>61539586
that looks awful, it looks like something you'd see in an old abandoned house
>>61543751
my house is generally about 5C cooler inside then outside but that can still be pretty fucking hot and there's still a lot of humidity. sure you can just use fans to help move the air around but it still doesn't make it comfortable. you could also use dehumidifiers which are actually pretty effective but an air conditioner also fills that role AND cools the air.
>>61541332
>central air
???
>>61541856
20C is way too hot
>>61543981
Big ass unit in the basement/attic. Rooms supplied with hot/cool air through ducts.

Who even care about yuropoors
>>61544000
>>61543981
Go easy on him.
Anglos haven't even figured out plumbing yet.
Why not use remote heat transfer via hot water and insulated pipes to both heat your house during winter and provide you with hot water?
>>61539586
Only fat people care about heat
I keep the a/c on because I don't wanna die. It was 40°C here a few days ago.
>>61544000
They are usually outside the house here
>>61544081
Some do exactly that but it's usually just for heated floors and not the primary heat source
>>61544081
District heating is just one step away from full blown communism
>tfw if you don't have AC in your home you'll want to commit suicide
Gracias florida
I've never seen this kind of pechka in Europe.
If you need AC at 30° you failed as human being and need to lose weight
