What do Europeans have against air conditioners?

>>514842863 (OP)
Grin and bear the heat puss puss

A/C was a relative luxury until fairly recently, and around the time that Europeans became wealthy enough to afford it they also started implementing stricter green laws that disincentivized more widespread adoption

>>514842863 (OP)
We have it. Its called opening a window, works great if you are under 400LBs

It's as easy as that folks

Ok you got me. I'll buy an AC, you get yourself a brain. Deal?

>>514843884
It's been nearly ubiquitous amongst white people in the southern US since the 1970s. Almost every home in the deep South built after 1970 would be virtually unlivable without AC. Anything built in the last 25 years where energy efficiency is the highest concern is a death trap without AC.

My parents are boomers and grew up in kinda rural areas without much money. They told me one of the reasons the niggers wanted to get into white schools so badly was because white schools had air conditioning. My mom told me she didn't have air conditioning at home until she left for college, but she exaggerated. Her mother preferred to keep every window and door open in the house to let the sea breeze blow through (they lived on the beach), so they really only ran the AC when it was raining or particularly hot. She didn't have 24/7 AC until she left. My dad said he first got AC when Kennedy was in office, but it was a window unit in his parents' bedroom, so it didn't count yet. Neither of them had central AC until they bought their first condo in the late 1970s. Boomers like to brag about how long it was before they had AC and how lucky we are to have always had it when in reality their exposure to AC is similar to people my age and the Internet.

>>514842863 (OP)
I worked in an office where the women denied me to turn on the AC because muh climate change.

There has not been one year in the last 80 years of any European country that a person could die from heat exhaustion where the person didn't purposefully cause themselves to die by not drinking water or finding a light amount of shade.

We hit these temperatures every single year in USA for most the country.

>>514842863 (OP)
Europeans are so smug and stuck up that they would rather be sweaty all day and risk dying of heat stroke than admit Americans were right about A/C.

>>514842863 (OP)
Because Europe is usually cool enough that it isn't needed, but with climate change that is changing.

>>514845076
Sure. We will admit we are stupid as soon as there is a 4chan.eu

A few years ago it was 40c here, I got through it with a desk fan and ice lollies no problem

>>514842863 (OP)
Nothing at all.
We're on Canada's latitude, you know.

>>514848768
That's wonderful in the winter.
It won't cool houses in the summer, which is the primary function of A/C.

>>514842863 (OP)
Europe rarely needed air conditioning until recently. Especially the more northern countries.

>>514848007
We aren't against it, it just doesn't get cold enough in the winter in most places to really justify it, except maybe the really big cities like chimpcago and jew york and maybe denver. Everywhere else we have mild winters and that kind of infrastructure project couldn't be justified. I don't even need heat in the winter where I live.

>>514850311
Any warmer than 77F (25Cuck) and I'd want AC in the summer even if it was only for a few days. I can tolerate down to 45F (7Cuck) in my house in the winter if I'm not sleeping, but it rarely gets that cold especially with my PC running and my 50 inch monitor on all day. Sometimes I'll even throw the window open during the winter.

>>514846869
I actually just spoke to my dad. He said his family got an AC window unit in 1952, and that actually they had full AC throughout the house 10 years later. he was 3 1/2 when they got that unit and says he only remembers it because they were the first ones in the neighborhood to get an AC, and his parents never let that go. He said they ran it during the day and turned it off at night. Stories change over time. I don't really know what is true.

My dad says his parents used to brag they got both a television and air conditioner in 1952.

Summers legit feel just as hot as I always remember them being. This year wasn't even that bad

Only gets uncomfortably hot for like 2 weeks a year, I can survive with a fan. In the south everyone has AC.

>>514842863 (OP)
Nothing, almost every apartment has air conditioning these days. Is this some kraut thing again?

Bro, 1950's. AC units were flying off the damned shelves the moment they were able to make them small enough to be window units.

>>514848768
that would be like.. socialist and stuff

>>514842863 (OP)
Its actually not that bad. It was 89 degrees here the other day and I just slept naked with a fan on me.

What exactly is the problem with tens of thousands of useless old people dying from heat every summer? The problem all western countries have is too many old people.

>>514842863 (OP)
Posted five times a day

You only used to need one for a month and a half of the year, and presumably you might go on a 2 week vacation during that time as well. A single fan would make it feel pleasant.
It's entirely survivable still even with such modern day high temps if you dont heat up your home and have good walls that will cool off at night.
But you will still sweat your ass off if you have to prepare a meal or work in a room on something

>>514842863 (OP)
too expensive
at least 5000-6000 euros to install one

>>514842863 (OP)

Had a tenant complain the washing machine was broken
Had a brand med service tech test it.
Retest it.
Call support.
I'm right there, too.
No issue.
Come to find out, the German tenant, would stuff the machine to the brim with clothes, like 3 weeks of clothes,
put it on the most energy efficient delicate setting
and that's what he was complaining about - his clothes weren't coming out clean
He demanded to use the eco friendly option to save the environment
We had to explain to him:
You can save the environment
or you can have clean clothes

A couple of years ago one neighbour installed a noisy A/C. The people around (me included) sued him for the nuisance. He was quickly ordered to remove it and pay us modest reparations.
Fuck you if you can't endure a few hot days.
>>514844033

>>514842863 (OP)
We have very tame coastal climate. If there ever is a heatwave it's 2 weeks at most. Our buildings are made from proper materials, insulated and often old with no planned installation point for permanent AC. Most europeans don't see a reason nor do they see it worthwhile to install AC for the week every year that the temps climb to 30°C.

Drive down south and you will find AC being more common where it's actually hot half the year. Public buildings are legally required to have AC. Companies need to provide heatbreaks and free drinks if they don't have AC and the temps climb above a certain threshold.

>>514852160
This works really well, warmed my room once like this because our radiator malfunctioned on a friday evening at -21°C

>open window at night when it's cold

Also think 25 to 30 degrees not 40.

>>514843884
Absolutely dumb take
We put ac on our properties in the 90s, shortly after communism failed. It was cheap too.
Western euro cucks are just retarded cucks, green laws have nothing to do with it

suburbanite americans need ac because they are confined to their mcmansions, while europeans be like "oh what a nice weather I'll go out for a walk"

>>514845849
Yeah, modern homes aren't designed around lack of AC at all.
Old homes
>Large windows on opposite walls to allow air to pass through
>At least ten foot high ceilings so heat would rise
>Windows above internal doors to keep air circulating in the house
>Large covered front porch with sitting areas to keep in the shade

The heat level is basically the same for the past 200 years. Seriously annoys the hell out of me when I see "hottest year on record" in the media when you can go back and see that shit is false. Using AC though? Those same heat dissipating features are just inefficient power drains, so they aren't common anymore.

Vaxxed?

In Britain we get 2-3 weeks of the year where the expense could be justified. Our houses are designed to hold heat, because our weather is fucking shit.

>>514842863 (OP)
your "air conditioners" arent even real thing, cope harder muttoid

>>514842863 (OP)
I don't know much for southern europe but in France it just get really hot in the south, the west and the north have an oceanic weather and AC has the reputation to make you sick since you get that cold/hot difference. It maybe because we don't use much AC in cars since gas is more expensive that in the US.

>>514846568
Should have eaten ze bugs so that you can justify the massive carbon footprint of running the ac for 2 minutes.

>>514842863 (OP)
We don't need it. As long as you get proper isolation for your house you are usually fine. I live under the roof and I just take quick showers and open my doors towards the side without the sun. Recent years have been much milder anyway.

>>514842863 (OP)
Most of the time in this country we don't need AC so we just suffer with the heat. Many homes in hotter European countries either have AC or were designed with hot weather in mind and don't get overly hot. I got an AC unit this year.

>>514842863 (OP)
Euro bros.. i am sorry, last summer The +28°C heatwave was too much, I bought an A/C.. America won.

>>514842863 (OP)
They're everywhere in southern Europe. You can't survive a summer in Belgrade without an AC

>>514852160
I'm still laughing.

>>514857363
You can get one on Facebook marketplace for $150.

>>514848007
Because we don’t like communism here.

Electricity prices lmao.

>>514848768
This is nice and all but that shit fails regularly and like everything else in the modern age it's essentially illegal to have backup solutions.

>>514842863 (OP)
We have access to a lost technology named "windows that can be opened"

>>514845849
Northern Europe isn't Southern US and our houses aren't built like those in the US. They are well insulated and generally stay cool unless you've got a heatwave lasting several days, which is rare. I can count the number of times I would have turned on the A/C this year on one hand. Like literally three times it went up to like 26 or 27° inside my home and I thought "it would be a bit more comfortable right now if I had A/C".
Anyway all new homes are built using heat pumps and you can reverse them to get A/C. Not really worth it retrofitting it for three days a year.

I suffered each summer from the heat, then I discovered shorts and stopped wearing pullovers

Serious answer. I never really felt the need to own one; my parents do, but they never use it except for one or two weeks during the summer. Fans and opening windows during the night are good enough for me.

>>514850210
>it just doesn't get cold enough in the winter
that was literally the same thing here with ac and summer until the last decade or so. that's the reason why ac are not so popular here.

>>514851414
I'm not part of the country that faces 100,000 deaths per year due to no AC.

Ive had ac longer than most of you anglokikes have been alive

>What do Europeans have against air conditioners?
It's a weird phenomenon. Supermarkets have ACs, more and more offices have ACs, but putting an AC where you live? That's crazy.

I guess there is this weird anti-luxury mindset going on in Germany. I am both pro-bidet and pro-AC, but the rest of my countrymen apparently want to live like Barbarians ...

Air conditioning is for cowards
People survived in the american south for 400+ years without air conditioning yet suddenly it's a necessity all of a sudden
Your southron ancestors would be ashamed of you for not being able to go a summer without air conditioning

>>514864358
Haha so what you are sitting around with your house at 75 degrees all the time? That’s abysmal.

>>514842863 (OP)

By ‘mega’ heatwave they mean 95 degrees.

>>514872648
I live in germany and I have never heard any anti a/c comments, ever.

Do mentally ill mindbroken americucks talk about literally anything other than ''muh europe'' and this stupid AC shit? You would assume with how much they obsess over this topic they would at least look at a map and try to figure out some basics, like the fact that ''the europe'' doesn't exist. Sweden is not the same country as Spain.
There are very few countries that have a climate hot enough for people to consider getting AC.
Countries that are closer to the equator that may require AC are closer to muslim countries which makes them more poor and shit, so no one can afford AC.

Do american freaks talk about literally anything else? Shouldn't they be talking about Epstein and Trump giving unlimited funds to Israel?

Muh 2003 heat wave hit France, not ''the europe''
Why are you freaks so retarded?

>so now no one from Finland can talk about American gun stats
You are insane

>>514874196
You’re doing the exact same thing you retard. Remove Baltimore, St Louis, Chicago, and about five other large cities (<0.1% of the land area) from the aggregate and suddenly the US as a whole is safer than almost anywhere in Europe. Our “gun problem” is almost entirely just niggers and spics in cities shooting each other and you lot make it out to be a common thing everyone here sees daily, meanwhile weather that we laugh at here kills thousands of your boomers every year
>but that’s France and not, uh *checks flag* what the fuck is a “latvia?”
So you’re all “Europe” when you combine like Voltron to flex on us but when a legitimate criticism comes your way suddenly the frogs don’t speak for you? convenient isn’t it?

You are mentally ill and arguing against strawmen. Europe lives rent free in your head and it's just a strawman that doesn't exist in real life. You made an imaginary ''europe'' in your head and you are jealous of your own strawman.
Dilate and kill yourself.

>>514872848
?? 24° is a great indoor temperature for summer, why the fuck would I want it any colder? Are you one of those retards who cools their home down to 20° in summer and heats it up to 25 in winter?

Cool story. Let me know when there’s a 4chan.lv where I can learn your language and then post “obsessively” (thread OP was obviously rage bait if you didn’t realize it) about a country I don’t live in and shouldn’t rationally have any reason to care about
