If only we still had bugs.

But we don’t, and that should fucking terrify everybody.

If only more people used redneck air conditioning. And I’m not kidding I’m going to school for HVAC cause I don’t want to starve in the street. Do y’all understand how bad this shit is?? It was supposed to be a medical device and y’all mofos set that shit to 65 to sleep. I’m not bougie and I understand that the 1% does most of the polluting but we need to change how we live

Whole house fans need to make a comeback. Our house was built in the 1920s and has one from the early 60’s before AC was common and I love that fucking thing. We still have some window AC units for really hot days or days when its hot and raining but it cuts WAAAAY down on how often we actually end up using them. Still uses some power obviously but nowhere near as much from what I can tell, and that’s a 60 odd year old one.

Problem is, I moved somewhere cold so I wouldn’t have to run the AC, and now summers here are just as hot as they were where I grew up. I can’t take the heat but it seems to be following me wherever I go.

In practice, with a normal amount of bugs it doesn’t really happen

The inside of the intake gets dirty as fuck.

Maybe it was an idea from back when trucks used to always have those little triangle windows?

When I had a Volkswagen, I called it, “180-60 air conditioning.” Flip it 180° and drive 60 mph.

Funny enough my dad used to mention about 4*80 ac in the car for similar reasons, which makes me wonder if there where a lot of speeding tickets at the time.

I’ve often thought that wing mirrors quarter glass should make a comeback. We must have solved the whistling problem by now.

In the janky old vehicles I had back when that was a thing I would do stuff like smear some heavy grease on the edge to block the wind. Bottom dollar cars get bottom dollar fixes.

My sister had a Plymouth Duster with little flaps under the dash that you could open to vent in some air from the outside.

The faster you go, the cooler you are. And also cooler.
