    There's also something genuinely fascinating about Americans not realising that you don't need that stuff anyway.

    I see them like "Europe is backwards because they don't have A/C" but the average temperature where I live is like 10°C lol

      Whoever says that is probably from the South. There are a lot of places within the US without A/C, even places that have very hot summers.

        It's actually kind of crazy how common it is for Midwest or northeast places to not have AC. Like the hot times are usually only a few weeks, but still hot and humid weather fucking sucks without AC.

        Our AC was down for a.bit earlier this year and it's amazing how quickly you can adjust. Like the first day or two sucks but you get accustomed.

        Who needs AC anyway

        Hi, I do. I get migraines and high temperatures are one of the biggest things that can make them more frequent (at least in my case). If it gets above 24-25 C it becomes significantly more likely I'll get a crippling headache, so I have to use AC to assure that it doesn't in fact get above 24-25 C.
