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?
