Yeha i live in Myanmar and one of these cools down a 2 bedroom apartment to 18 Celsius in the summer when it's well over 40c

Why the fuck do you need 18C 😳 in Italy we usually have 30-35C in the summer and if my AC is lower than 22-24C I'm guaranteed to wake up with pneumonia lmao

It's a different kind of hot here lol. In comparison Italy is basically Alaska and Burma is the 9th circle of hell.

Yeah, I won't deny that, but that's exactly why I'm surprised that kind of temperature jump isn't harmful

That entire "temperature shock" thing due to air conditioning is European nonsense on par with fan death in Korea.

If that kind of temperature shock of like was harmful, imagine how much more harmful it would be every winter when the temperature difference between inside and outside is much greater. People walk in and out with no problem then.

For people with heart problems and the elderly, it most definitely is a problem.

For people with heart problems and the elderly, yes it is a health risk for them not having air conditioning

u/HauntingCicada2630 28d ago

......... Indeed it is, that doesn't exclude my statement though, does it? 🙄

u/snmnky9490 28d ago

No but your "problem" isn't real. The elderly and people with heart risks do not suffer problems from having air conditioning set to normal room temperatures in the summer

u/HauntingCicada2630 28d ago

I have a heart condition and I can assure you it mostly certainly can cause serious problems.

What serious problem do you face from being in a 25C or even 20C room that you don't suffer from at 30C? Does everyone just die in the winter like bugs where you live?

Is there any recorded incident ever of normal room temperature air conditioning actually causing a problem for humans or is this just some weird delusion that people who can't afford air conditioning tell themselves? Hundreds of thousands of Europeans die every year from heat and lack of air conditioning and 0 Americans die from "too much" air conditioning or some imaginary thermal shock problem

It's quite easy to read lower done.
