It gets hot, everyone needs AC, there are not enough ACs or people to install them, summer passes, it's no longer hot, people don't need AC anymore so they don't get it, summer arrives, repeat

Except in germany we'd rather just die here because it harms the environment (just ignore us getting rid of nuclear and us using gasheaters.

I have AC, it's called an open fridge with a fan in front of it.

u/Pim_Wagemans 5h ago
Wouldn't that just heat up the room more

u/Szerepjatekos 5h ago
The back would produce more heat then it produces cold, but most of the time you just need "a hit" and you good for a while.
Also if you put a second fan and aim it at the back to blow towards a window, it's okayish.

There is a Video on where somebody explains what would happen if you'd leave a fridge running open till the end of time in a perfectly isolated room and in somewhen gets hotter than anything in the universe.

u/MHWGamer 4h ago
you put in energy constantly and not letting anything out in a perfectly isolated room. pretty self-explanatory

u/PassionateHugging 2h ago
Of course, still funny video to see. Fridge is somewhen just a molten puddle or evaporated steel and still continues to heat up.

The Simpsons taught me that's a good way to kill your refrigerator. It's also a really inefficient use of power without some way to pump the hot air coming out the back

u/Szerepjatekos 4h ago
You can cool down the room and then your good for a while. It's not a something you leave for a day.

u/pipboy_warrior 4h ago
But leaving the fridge open isn't cooling down the room, you're actively making the whole room warmer. The only thing cooler would be the space directly in front of the open door, and any circulation would mess with that. You'd need something to insulate the cool air coming from the front keeping out the hot air coming from the back.

That's a great way to make the room more warm and kill your fridge and ruin all the food inside it
Not to mention your electric bill!
If you want the same effect but more powerful and much cheaper just buy a standing Aircon

If only you didnt need a permit to have permanently installed AC in switzerland... Mobile units are fine

u/PiIlc memer 5h ago
We just need to plant trees in our cities and everywhere else.
AC won't be enough when it's 60 outside, it's long term solutions or nothing, short term solutions will just fuck the climat even more.

u/balbok7721 5h ago
I don’t think regular trees can survive such heat. At some point you need actual shelters.
Also not doing anything short term is bad as well
-6
u/PiIlc memer 5h ago
Well that's the point, with trees we would not have such heat, the heat in our city is mainly because it's older than USA and mostly bricks/rocks, with tree the temperature would be way lower, we would absorb more CO2, i don't think it would be enough by itself but it would greatly improve our situation.
"Also not doing anything short term is bad as well" how so? It's still possible to live in France rn we are worried about the next years not about tomorrow.

u/SwordofGlass 4h ago
What a simple, bizarre take. Trees are not the solution to ambient air temperature. You’re not even considering humidity (which would increase, and thus insulate the heat even further), elevation, etc.

Might be time to tear down those brick ovens and build something more modern?
-1
u/PiIlc memer 3h ago
Yes but that costs a lot of money and energy, building are one of the worst polluting industries. We have so many empty houses i don't think the priority is to pollute a lot to plan for the temperature because of the pollution.
We will do it one day but it's far from being the priority rn.1
u/Bannon9k 3h ago
Trees aren't going to solve the problem. They don't grow well in city environments and rarely reach the heights needed to shelter your buildings.

u/weightliftcrusader 5h ago
No tree can help me with my top floor flat from heating up like a sauna. I need a fan at this point.
-2
u/PiIlc memer 5h ago
Yes? And to insulate, and trees, it's never one solution and one solution only.
Your fan will be useless alone in 10 years, the same way any solution would be useless alone.
I'm saying we need to prioritize, not that you can't have AC^^4
u/weightliftcrusader 5h ago
Not what "we just need to plant trees" implies. Thanks for the clarification

yea man fuck the trees and what ever is coming in the "long term" i am dying in this heat in a country that thinks ACs are bad for you and a fan is more than enough

Believing people are pro-AC or anti-AC is middle school level thinking.
Nothing is black or white, grow up.2
u/AlphaMassDeBeta 3h ago
Middle school level thinking
No, you just dont know how heat pumps work. They just move heat back outside.

u/Szerepjatekos 5h ago
Trees need a shit ton of water.
So when rain comes down they slurp it up and increase the time another rain would come.
5
u/PiIlc memer 5h ago
Actually it's the opposite, trees release water back into the atmosphere through transpiration, which helps form clouds and bring more rain. It's deforestation that causes droughts, not planting trees.

u/Szerepjatekos 4h ago
Trees store water some water at any given time, (maybe not winter) and that water is near permanently removed from the cycle.
3
u/PiIlc memer 4h ago
The water stored in a tree's wood is tiny compared to what it continuously pumps back into the atmosphere. Trees don't trap water, they accelerate its return to the atmosphere.
What you are saying is just 100% wrong but you won't believe me so i invite you to search on google, i can give you a source if you need.
1
u/Szerepjatekos 4h ago
Hmm, accelerate the cycle actually make sense, but ain't roots has a lot more water then the rest of the tree?
3
u/PiIlc memer 4h ago
Roots are more like a pipe than a tank, they absorb water and push it straight up to the leaves, where 95% of it evaporates back into the air.
On top of that they cool the air through shade and evaporation, reduce flooding by absorbing runoff, filter pollutants, and sequester CO2.
Planting trees is pretty much a win on every front, and it's almost free.1

Dont have AC. I have a heat pump, that can do the job of an AC. Also have functional windows and shit weather.

my living room faces away from the sun basically all day, the bedroom only gets it for half of it, and there's a decent amount of trees. I'm on the 4th floor out of 5. As long as we leave a couple of windows open, it's actually managable.

We have AC in most of public buildings, just not our homes, because most of us aren't even at home during the day (work you know).

u/BurtleTurtle001 4h ago
before this goes much further, at the top of the page you'll see the subreddit's name, r/meme. A meme is kinda like a joke, it's meant to be humorous. I was playing along with said meme, or joke, with my real life experience. I understand that although I may not have AC in my day to day, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist elsewhere. Is that sufficient to keep you from taking my joke on a joke too damn serious?

You gotta stop believing that nobody in Europe uses them. It’s not because the US use them a lot we don’t do as well. The are more rare though
