I'm disappointed that this is on YT, shouldn't it be on OnlyFans?

  OnlyFans lost its purported audience years ago, when they made the decision to include human adult content in addition to fan-related content only. The adult content quickly took over and now you can barely find anything relating to fans on there. Reddit is a much better place for that now, and if you aren't particularly precious about documentary-style fact reporting, you're much better off browsing r/fanfiction.

    haha true, though I don't think that's what GP meant

      > you're much better off browsing r/fanfiction. The punchline is buried a little bit too deep, but pretty sure they're just playing along.

        I thought "when they made the decision to include human adult content in addition to fan-related content" in the first sentence was already pretty obvious

    I think the joke blew right past you.

      Alas, I'm afraid that was you.

        You seem a bit stuffy. Might need to cool off.

        Noctua makes fans. OnlyFans… Get it?

        The joke is that OnlyFans was for fans but was taken over by humans. Now it's not funny because I've had to explain it.

        I'm sorry :/ I even included the r/fanfiction at the end, but that was also apparently too obscure.
        cheschire 5mo ago
        I’m sorry too. my stupid jokes in response to yours earlier were just me taking advantage of bad fan puns but others seem to have jumped on the downvote bandwagon.

  Since this has turned into a "giggle about fans" thread, one of my favorite company names is Big Ass Fans [1]. They make really large fans for warehouses, etc. And their logo is a donkey. 1: https://bigassfans.com/company/about-us/ https://bigassfans.com/company/about-us/

    I have split feelings on Big Ass Fans. I got three of their house fans from Costco a few years ago. Great fans - low power draw, good looks, includes a nice light, good noise profile, etc. The fans didn't include wall panels, which I wanted rather than only remotes. No problem, I figured I'll order 3 of them from their site. However, there's an obvious bug in the shipping calculator, where the cost to ship three little wall boxes came out to $40+$40+$40 = $120. (And where the shipping page called this a "flat rate".) If I wanted to order 50 wall boxes, the shipping would be $2,000! The shipping cost was completely incongruent with other items in their shop - e.g. I could order 100 branded mugs for a flat shipping charge of $40. (And this is on top of the wall controllers that where already $123 each for some pretty simple electronics.) I had probably a dozen support interactions over a couple weeks over both phone and email trying to get Big Ass Fans to fix their broken website and/or just put the wall controllers in a $30 flat-rate shipping box for me before we finally settled on a $55 shipping charge where I still felt like I was getting ripped off.

    we have a really large version, in our factory for 20+ years - its a game changer for the folks who do the real work around here.
