Is this black shit on my AC mold? How do I get rid of it? Is this what's making me cough my lungs inside out?

Scrub it with bleach

Yes anon, you need to clean it and stay away from it.
The cough will get worse because it's irritating your lungs so mask up when you clean it.

is it like a ring around the edge of the fan blades? i don't know what kind of ac i have, but i see this kind of build up at some friend's houses

no. its looks like insulating foam that used to be taped or glued to the side

Looks like water is seeping in when it rains

Aye aye

Bet I was going to go grab a thing of masks today anyway. If I clean it off with an old rag should I toss the rag after or is that being extra and it should be fine with a wash?

That's the thing that really confuses me because I know exactly what you're talking about which is what I thought at first but something about the way these seem to be in splotches makes me believe otherwise
Also wtf when did the file limit drop to 2mb?

spray it with bleach

Yea mold can be a problem, some ACs have self cleaning mode, you can remove and clean the filters manually.
