Is it true that europeans dont have air conditioning? Why not? Is it the jews fault? Do they just love to be uncivilized?

>>510355959 (OP)
They have nice weather

>>510356097
Surely there is at least one day a year in euroland where they would want the temp of their house to be a bit cooler.

Their anti growth policies make energy cost like 2-3x American prices.

The whole thing about not needing except for a few months is copium.

A lot of Americans don't 'need' it except for a few months either if you're fine with living in 78F+ indoor temps..

They're simply too poor for it.

>>510355959 (OP)
they think it will get them sick, ive literally seen germcucks run out of the room and hide when they seen the air conditioner monster

Europeans have been taught that air conditioning ackshually makes it hotter.

>>510356236
That's because they mostly have minisplits which are prone to water getting stuck in the tray creating a mold problem if it doesn't drain properly.

Americans mostly have central HVAC so it's not really a concern here

>>510356236
What? What is that founded on? Thats facinating

>>510355959 (OP)
Too much money spent on heating. Firewood costs more and more. There's no extra cash to spent on installing AC.

>>510355959 (OP)
Europe has historically had a milder climate and the old buildings aren’t designed for it.

>>510355959 (OP)
We survived for thousands of years without air conditioning. Air conditioning is for the domesticated modern man.

>>510355959 (OP)
Too expensive operating costs. Also to clarify. netherlands is one of the few countries where the roles are reserved and the government is rich, but the population is poor duo to excessive taxing.

>>510356533
>In Norway, a significant portion of the population uses allergy medication, with oral antihistamines and intranasal steroids being the most common. A study published in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that 74.4% of patients used intranasal steroids, and 60% used oral antihistamines in the past year. Another study from NIH indicates that 10.7% of the population uses antihistamines for systemic use.

>>510356533
yeah well you see it’s also about health and productivity in extreme climate change, and it’s become a modern expectation. Cognitive performance and work output drop in extreme indoor heat.

>>510355959 (OP)
Look at a world map with a latitude lines nigger. Bagdad Iraq is further north then where I live, nigger.

>>510355959 (OP)
Supposedly they are dying in masses

>>510355959 (OP)
>Is it true that europeans dont have air conditioning?
really depends

>my modern apartment
has a AC in every room
>my parents house
doesn't, because it was build in the 1990s with very good draught designed into it
now with climate change and days regularly >35°C and hot nights they plan on install it again
>my grand parents house
doesn't have AC because when they've build it post war, 30°C days were considered hot
and nights were ALWAYS <15°C
so the bricks stored enough cold from the night to never let inner temp above ~25°C
literally no need for AC

today
again
different situation
they also currently in the process of adding a split AC to the bed and living room

>>510356899
People that do not respect the heat and hydrate for it can die easier than they think.
Also, if someone is used to 80 degree highs, then gets hit with a 105 day... that is brutal.

>>510357045
I think it's just their aging population

>>510355959 (OP)
Please tell me thats a heat pump not just an air conditioner

>>510356873
or any heat really

>>510356203
>Surely there is at least one day a year in euroland
last year there were two nights too warm for comfy sleeping
this year there was one because it's a shitty summer
why would I need A/C when I only need a room fan once a year?

>>510357392
because the one year you have ten days in a row of 35+ temperature will be the year you die of heat stroke in your sleep

>>510355959 (OP)
we have 2 hot weeks a year max

>>510358299
>because the one year you have ten days in a row of 35+ temperature
not going to happen you climate change jew

>>510356930
when I put heat insulation on my 1980s house, it became warmer in the winter AND cooler in the summer
because a thermos works both ways
was considering adding A/C for the bedroom but now it really doesn't need it
also if you want a colder bedroom, get married

>>510358299
they don't die inside the house when it happens, retard. they literally collapse outside in the sun, quit being a literal mongoloid.

>>510355959 (OP)
My AC is on 24/7, I do not care about muh environment. I sleep on an AC, and I have it turned on during winter for heating, and during summer to keep me cool. I also dine exclusively on KFC and can't stand salad. I think I'm a honorary American.

>>510359377
>I think I'm a honorary American
to be honorary American you also need to have your credit card maxxed out and have other outstanding debts

>>510359458
plus a subscription for avocado sandwiches
forgot that

>>510356097
1 month of hot summer. Underwear is my conditioner.

>>510359377
Everyone in South Europe has AC, we have weather similar to Florida.

>>510359458
No debts here but I max it out within a week of payday.

>>510359612
that's a handy visualization
thanks anon

>>510356899
>>510356961
yeah but
at least in Germany
temps above >30°C were really rare in the last century when most houses were build

my hometown already had like 10 nights >20°C and a few days >35°C
which happened like one day every few years prior to 2000

some builders are still retarded
but most renovations or new homes include AC here today

>>510358681
>also if you want a colder bedroom, get married
you surely mean that my wife is always cold and takes my warmth kek

>when I put heat insulation on my 1980s house, it became warmer in the winter AND cooler in the summer
>because a thermos works both ways
that's why Germans rarely build ACs in the 2000s and early 2010s
insulation requirements are so high that this works... mostly

but it stops working once it gets hot for long periods
after 2-3 days without cool nights, no insulation will help you

that's what's happening today
you may be lucky with your location though, e.g. cities are worse than near forests or bodies of water

>>510359672
I know people who don't for the same pussy reasons a lot of people in this thread have stated.

>>510355959 (OP)
why bother
its hot only for like a week

>>510355959 (OP)
We do, we just dont like using it. Makes the air taste sterile/plastic. You just dont notice since you've been eating slop from birth.

>>510359612
certainly part of the reason

but climate doesn't work only based on latitude
oceans massively regulate temperature for land masses nearby
North Atlantic Current gets warm water to Europe
and generally continental Europe gets lots of warm air from Africa

whereas big parts of NA have harsher continental climate

Don't look at other countries new builds and enjoy your continuous mould issues
Big cif is keeping us back

>>510359734
>but it stops working once it gets hot for long periods
true, the temperature will always equalize itself in the end, just more slowly
but usually the heat inertia is enough to keep the house comfy until the temperature changes outside

ac is actually bad because it makes you never want to go outside during summer. people outside are having fun drinking and enjoying the beach meanwhile i am a prisoner in my own home because the ac is running and everytime i get motivated to go outside i open the door and a wave of humid hot air hits me and sucks all life out of me. i am ashamed of myself for betraying my ancestors like that and becoming a weak ac cuck

>>510359734
>you may be lucky with your location though
also true
I live at the edge of a wooded area plus I have trees over the front of the house where most of the windows point
I can imagine a concrete box in the middle of empty field needing A/C though

>>510355959 (OP)
europoor pole here
Have AC, its used maybe 2-3 weeks in a year.
Cost is quite high compared to purchasing power, but it is nice to have 21C inside home while outside its 39C (In retarded units: 68,9F and 102.2F )
Still considered luxury, especially since our brick houses are quite slow to accumulate heat from outside, so most people rely on shades in windows and that'll do the trick.

>>510360411
Opposite for me. When the AC stopped working recently I could no longer tolerate being outside because I was already hot all god damn day

You just need to increase your tolerance to heat. Probably start by doing cardio indoors in cool temps then by walking outside in the heat then doing cardio in the heat

>>510355959 (OP)
I live at 55° north.
USA is at 40° north. That is basically African.

I used to think air conditioning was for pussies but with the golems spitting out aluminum-heavy metals plastic from their hordes of cars and their servants burning bunker fuel I'm acquiring a heat pump soon, so I can have filtered air in the summer

>>510359612
This is why America is being overrun by browns.

>>510355959 (OP)
Yeah. It was 30C (86F) in my bedroom the other day. Quite unpleasant.

>>510356533
Modern buildings trap heat.

>>510356203
We make the most of it because it's grey, wet and cold the other 364 days of the year.

>>510363457
You're tough.
That kind of weather kills most Bongaloids.
Btw, wish me luck it's 100 degrees burger outside in Arizona and I'm going for a run.

>>510355959 (OP)
I have one, and I had never been in a house without one. I think its around 300€ to buy one, and maybe 150€ to install. But not in the fucking summer. Maybe it's because of cheap aluminium manufacturing nearby

>>510360411
It's the cold that is sucking the life out of you, literally. It forces your body to use all of its energy heating itself, leaving you tired and unmotivated.
It also makes you store more fat to compensate.

Only millionaires have AC and ice cubes here, it's true. I've only seen AC two times in my life.

>>510355959 (OP)
even if they did their electricity bill is too high to use it

>>510358681
Insulation helps for a while, but if the heat lasts for more than a few days the entire house gets hot, and then the insulation keeps it hot at night.

>>510358864
they're not even allowed to open their windows, let alone go outside

>>510355959 (OP)
I've always had and most people i know have. I haven't used it once this summer yet though.

>>510359612
45N latitude literally just flew over my house

Guys, you're being tricked.
I know americans are incredibly stupid (dumbest population alive) but I didn't think you were SO stupid.

In europe mostly everyone has AC, I have 5 in my house, and every house has them. I don't know anyone without AC.

Honestly, I can't even imagine how you could believe such a thing, but...in the end you're an american

Yes I've broke the joke but you can't be tricked for so long, come on

It seems like no one of you ever went out of home and spoke with someone else

>>510355959 (OP)
Who wants to be cold in summer? You can be cold all you want in wintertime.
>>510356234
I never set my A/C below 77 degrees / 25 C when I'm traveling in tropical countries.

>>510359672
Southern European latitude is much higher though so your sun doesn't burn as much. Bulgaria and Greece are Massachusetts tier latitude. Even southern-most point of Greece in Crete is around SoCal level. Meanwhile Florida is around the same latitude as the Middle East.

it's rarely hot enough over here to justify the costs of AC for residential buildings
i bet it's the same in most parts of the US but Americans have turned into such feminine pussies they need the air that touches their skin to be conditioned at all times

Seriouspost:
>In the past there wasn't really a need
>now people are increasingly getting ACs
>however split ACs require a hole and retarded home owners don't allow rentcucks to drill one, so people mainly get these mobile ACs or a portasplit
That's about it.

>>510355959 (OP)
>Is it true that europeans dont have air conditioning?
Depends on the europeons. The west and norf barely have them. In Goymany it's almost a slur. In souf europe there are everywhere. The most southern parts of Europe are at the same latitude as Virginia and Kentucky.

Because it’s not hot.
You spastic.

>>510356820

Wow

White people and their frickin allergies. IDK what has happened to us that ordinary pollen is so damn irritating. I tossed out my allergy pills a while back and been rawdogging it, but it's fucking annoying sometimes. Not to mention disgusting having a bandana damp with snot hanging from your belt.

>>510358681
The problem with insulation is if the building generates heat inside. A hostel located above a grocery store with huge refrigerators, for instance. Or an attic apartment which traps all the rising heat from the three stories below. Or even use of an oven to bake something.

Eurofag here. The OP is correct. It sucks here. So what ever you do. DO NOT MIGRATE TO EUROPE!

>>510355959 (OP)
I went to Italy once. They do have AC in some places but it's not very powerful.

>>510355959 (OP)
i guess we are not Eurpeans than, since air conditioning is norm here and electricity is cheap so can run them 24/7

>>510355959 (OP)
don't see the reason getting an ac for one(1) week of unbearable heat

>>510363998
what the fuck is that?

>>510355959 (OP)
10-20 years ago it wasn't so important but the jews are controlling the weather (globally) really, really hard right now. So people are getting all kinds of weather that they typically wouldn't get naturally. So, it's just new normal things

It would be almost impossible to live in Florida without air conditioning. It was one of the least populated states in the US before air conditioning.

>>510368522
Just how cheap is your electricity?

>>510368881
well righ now i pay 28$ monthly for electiricy and thats with AC runnin 24/7 (35 celsius outside here).

>>510355959 (OP)
because we don't weigh 500 pounds and don't need them to survive.

>>510358299
It need to be 50 degrees outside for 3 days for my house to heat up to 30. Currently 30-33 outside and my window is open.
AC would make more sense for heating.

>>510355959 (OP)
souferns have them
in the north you only need them for 2 weeks max per year so its not worth it

>>510369179
I use AC for both heating and cooling. The AC is practically activated for most of the year.

>>510369591
You live on the equator, of course there's a need for cooling

>>510355959 (OP)
>Is it true that europeans dont have air conditioning?
yes
now sto pbitching about it, we have more important issues at hand!

>>510355959 (OP)
Americans live in African latitudes. I am in mother fucking Latvia. If it hits 80 degrees F we go to the beach and it only gets that hot a small handful of days each summer before it rains again and knocks us down into a daily high of like 59F. I have 1 portable A/C for my master bedroom just in case but I haven't turned it on this year.

>>510356234
>energy cost like 2-3x American prices.
So if an American apartment electric bill is $75 you think Europeans can't afford $150 a month? We can, we just literally don't need A/C.

Now ask me about my 900 square foot woodshed and my boiler furnace system because HEATING is what we need 7 months of the year (at least).

>>510356234
>anti growth policies
we don't have as much mineral resourcs as you do bro, including energy. we tried to make a deal with the Russian and it failed spectacularely.
>They're simply too poor for it
because we don't live on the richest continent in the world, and we are even worse off than China is domestically if you don't count Norway. and they're not even in the EU... hahah shits's fucked bro

>>510370659
Just get an AC for heating as well. The AC never turns off in my apartment.

>>510368522
>russia
>i guess we are not Eurpeans then
nope
i still respect you though

>>510368713
window lock, landlord has the key but will report you to the police if you unlock it yourself, or worse, remove it (illegal cutting instrument)

we use heat pumps instead
cold in the summer, warm in the winter and electricity bill goes down 70%

>>510356234
Cope more, I've had 1 hot temp inside day thus far this whole year, not our fault your building standards suck so much cock your windows basically suck in and amplify heat exponentially, or is it just so damn hot in the US?

>>510356203
i'm not gonna pay 1500€ for 2 hot days in a year

>>510370854
My house is really big. It's wayyyy cheaper to heat with wood pellets. I also have a fireplace.

>>510364775
I saw a bunch of mini splits and VRV systems in Italy and Spain last summer. Nothing in the UK on the same trip.

>>510355959 (OP)
I didn't use it for the longest time because I dislike them, but when the temperature gets above a certain degree (like 35 Celsius), I will switch it on for five or ten minutes at a time. Pretty much everybody has an AC here and many use it for heating during the winter period.

>>510369098
>>510369098
damn nigga

>>510355959 (OP)
Maybe in central/northern europe, here every house has at least one

Wtf is this schizophrenia post
I have AC
Like majority of people here all over across Europe

>>510356203
The first floor is stone and half into the ground cause the house is on an incline - slept with a blanket right up unitl the end of june. Second floor is traditional mudbrick and plaster that i covered with fibran cladding a couple of years ago, but still even now with temps of 38C outside, inside is pretty comfortable - helps the windows have UV layer. I use the AC mainly in that period between October and November when it's not cold enough to fire up the furnace.

>>510373110
Yea Americans don't get it. They live in stick sheds that would be hotter than the outside without A/C. High temp here today was 80F and tonight the low is 55F. American highs are like 96F and lows 85F.

>>510355959 (OP)
Despite you paying for the national defense and supplying LNG to Europe, there are too many pensioners that can't be supported. So we have to let them die off in heatwaves. And also this can support the narrative that hydrocarbons are le bad and killing people (because we don't have any and the strategy seems to be to try to shame other countries into not using them, which you can see how well that's going).

>>510355959 (OP)
Theyre super poor. They couldnt even afford the electricity even if they could save 10 years wages to buy a little a/c

that's hilarious

>>510356203
I have ac and I don't use it. Max temp indoors would be around 26 celcius it's usually enough to just open a couple of windows.

>>510375247
Just put one in your window

>>510375523
Those doesn't exist in europe and our windows are not compatible anyway. The window mafia (I'm serious, but more of a cartel than mafia) made it that changing you windows is insanely expensive, like 2k per window for a classic sized window, and they will fuck up your walls changing those, they just don't care.

The problem with window is, the goverment decided to create grands to help people change their window to better isolated ones. What happened is, the window mafia increased the price so it would stay the same after the grand, (grand depending on how much you make, good luck if you have a decent wage, no grand for you). When government decided to stop the grand, prices never went back. Now replacing your windows is a luxury you can't afford.

>>510375999
But you already have windows. Just put them in those.

>air conditioning.
That would be insanity. Its so pleasant here.

>Do they just love to be uncivilized?

They dont really have a choice

Reading through the thread it seems like a lot of euros have houses made of different materials that dont trap heat as much. Thats interesting considering how much builders stress over making sure american houses are very insulated. Im glad i made this thread i feel like im learning

>>510356203
Well for us it was "well its only really hot a few days a year" so nobody had fucking airco until mid 2010's, but now each summer has been pretty fucking hot so they're becoming more common
