Having air conditioning appreciation thread

[Bless't]

When I used to live in Jersey, had an old ass wall unit that cooled maybe half of my living room in my apartment. Had to drag my mattress into that room on those hot ass nights to get a good nights sleep.



Now in FL... central air all day.

I've come up brehs.

One of the single greatest inventions


I just checked the wiki page. In 1934 a man in Charlotte built his house with ducts so he was known as the first private citizen with central. Though it was not explicitly stated, but I'm pretty sure he had all the 30s thots

When I first heard that there are places that AC didn't really exist like that I was . I thought that shyt was just standard in all cars and homes.

I was all when I had to plunk down $7K on a new HVAC system for my condo back in January. But since it's been 8000% humidity here in the DC Metro area this summer, I'm more than grateful.

Top 5 health problems associated with air conditioning


1. Illness and constant fatigue

Shivering at your office desk in mid-July? That might be the reason you are so tired. Research shows that people who work in over air-conditioned environments may experience chronic headaches and fatigue. Those who work in buildings which are constantly being pumped full of cool air may also experience constant mucous membrane irritation and breathing difficulties. This leaves you more vulnerable to contracting colds, flu’s and other illnesses.

2. Dry skin

Long hours spent in air conditioned environments causes your skin to lose moisture; if you are not aiding your skin with a constant supply of moisturizers you may begin to suffer from dry skin.

3. Adds to the effects of your chronic illness

Central air conditioning systems are known to enhance the effects the illness that you may already be suffering from. AC is notorious for increasing the symptoms of low blood pressure, arthritis, and neuritis, making pain management more difficult for those adamant on using their central air.

4. The inability to deal with heat

Those who spent a lot of time in an air conditioned environment become increasingly more intolerant of hot summer temperatures. This is mainly caused by the stress on your body from moving from a cool environment to the sweltering outdoor air. This intolerance of the heat has lead to an increase heat related deaths during heat waves, which now averages at 400 deaths each summer.

5. Breathing problems

Though your car’s AC may be a saving grace while stuck in traffic on a hot day they are the worst offenders for circulating germs and micro-organisms that cause breathing problems. Researchers at Louisiana State Medical Center found eight types of mould living inside 22 out of 25 cars tested. Air conditioners are also known to circulate air-borne diseases such as Legionairre’s Disease, a potentially fatal infectious disease that produces high fever and pneumonia.
