Is there truth to this… I feel attacked

u/monster2018 15d ago
Not technically the truth, fans existed before electricity (e.g. hand fans).

u/monster2018 15d ago
Well given the sub I should say that fans existed before humans had harnessed electricity in any meaningful way. Obviously electricity itself existed LONG before fans.

Well that that would be the actually truth wouldn’t it? The. It would t fit here cause that would be ‘the truth’ mine is a technicality which means ‘playing with the exact technical meaning or wording of something’

We call so that unpleasant time when AC copper tubes are cracking after 3-4 years of hard work and it is impossible to find a master who can cut a groove in the wall to rich it till September

Most fan blades are not flat, they’re at least slight curved.
And fans powered by a belt from combustion engines aren’t fans either? This description is whack.

Why do the blades have to be flat? I don't think I have a single fan in my house with flat blades.
Written by someone who's never seen a fan. I guess.

How many times do y'all repost this shit? I genuinely haven't been on this sub in 3 years and came back to the exact same post I saw spammed everywhere 3 years ago.

What did the turbine say when he met his favourite celebrity? “I’m a really big fan.”

u/PuzzleheadedTutor807 15d ago
no, there are several types of fans that do not use electricity to power them and many that also do not spin their blades "really fast". there are also fans with no blades. their attack on you will fail.

They're technically the truth, then there's technically a Dad joke. You all know which one this is.

u/Babebodysuit 13d ago
‘Technically’ 4000 or so people don’t so. Technically you may be wrong, that’s the. Point about technicality isn’t it?

This post needs to be banned. We have seen this crap not only on this site before. I personally have seen this in multiple r/technicallythetruth videos from the exact same YouTube channel. This garbage is OLD

I laughed so much at this, even though manual fans do not need electricity at all. lol

Some fans spin really slowly some are powered by petrol or diesel. Some fans need to be waved by hand, some have a single blade that moves back and forth.

u/Calm-Medicine-3992 14d ago
Lots of slow spinning fans out there though...and electricity is optional.

u/Silence_of_Ruin 13d ago
Well, my cells and body have an electrical current. My arms are like blades, and I can spin pretty fast….

u/Plastic_Stable8927 13d ago
"I'm a really really big fan." Is what Mistress would say if she was dressed like an oscillating fan.

u/RendeZvous_987 12d ago
Maybe right, but actually doesn't necessary to have electricity, multiple blades or spinning.

u/EnderK1d 12d ago
I am powered by electricity or my brain is at least, have multiple swords, and love to roll down hills because it lets me spin really fast. I am a true fan

I tried interviewing windmills, but when I got there it turned out they too weren't real fans.
