Went to Europe in winter and they had no A/C.

Didn't really "need it" obviously, but the Air B&B was very insulated and warm. Great for December/January, but you could tell that shyt would be a death trap in July.
And this is what American’s don’t understand when we have heat waves that are “only” 85-100. We are built to keep heat in, we even have extra insulation in our roofs and everywhere with a cavity.

Plus our houses are made from bricksx not plaster boards and wood. People often forget UK is super north too, we are longitudinal parallel with Canada

The other week my house was 90 for 3 days straight, about 79 at night. Nothing we could do.

Always weird whe europeans act like they dont need AC. Saying shyt like it never would get hotter than 80.

If i so much as see 70+, that AC is on. Not even a question

Nothing weird about it. Most of the world lives without AC. Europe for example doesn’t produce most of its own energy, it’s expensive Incomes are considerably lower than the U.S.

They can’t afford to be running AC like that. I know people in the states with $400-$600 electricity bills in the summer that they can’t even afford.

Me, imma be in the AC though.

This, plus the high levels of humidity. It's a lot.
