  To play devil’s advocate, there are no exposed blades at the point of use. I’d wager people who buy “bladeless” fans are more concerned with aesthetics and avoiding a crying toddler than they are with semantic accuracy. We call Wi-Fi “wireless” even though the router is plugged in.

    I can stick my peepee into a bladeless fan and not worry about cuts so there’s that.

        You can’t tell me what I can and can’t do with my own peepee.

    Regular fans dont have exposed blades either, there is a mesh over it.

      I take it you’ve never seen a toddler stick their fingers through the mesh

    at work we have expensive fans with a cheap metal mesh around them - to avoid a crying co-worker. at home i have a cheap tower fan with a weird plastic mesh - there are no visible blades on it except if i crank my neck into a really uncomfortable position and shine a flashlight into it. which one of the two can i call bladeless?

    luckily i already have a devils advocate and @arctanthrope@lemmy.world dropped the name of god. how well do i need to hide my fans blade to create a Ventilationbescheißerle?

  there’s a type of German meat dumplings called Herrgottsbescheißerle, which literally means “little things that bullshit the Lord” for the same reason

  Well, Beef comes from cows, and cows only eat vegetation, so beef raviolis are vegetarian. Now, I’m not a Rocket Biologist, but I think the math here is pretty conclusive.

    Is this what a rocket biologist specializes in?

  The cynic in me thinks “bladeless” makes them easier to sell in fan-death countries.

  (tbf: the catholic church made a similar claim during the medieval ages).

  Carpinchos (capybara) are fish.

  You know … Bernoulli Fan - that’s way better idea than a room full of MBAs from expensive business schools and months of market research and focus groups with 2 way mirrors ever came up with. Well done
