Why do so many supposedly educated people from developed countries have completely pseudoscientific beliefs about A/C?
It’s so bizarre and frankly, embarrassing to even read. You will sweat exactly the same as you would at 30% RH at 72 degrees on a cool day outdoors. There’s nothing mystical about the air conditioner at work here.
- abanana 2mo agoWhat on earth have you misread here? He's saying they want to be in a warm room (so they'll work up a sweat), not in a cool room (so they won't). What are these pseudoscientific and mystical beliefs you've read before and apparently mistakenly applied to this post (because they sound interesting, if only in a "WTF?" kind of way)? I can't make head or tail of what you think his meaning is, and given the downvotes, it seems others can't either.
