a heat pump? an aircon? an antenna? 😖

A roof
Jackcooper@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes I’ve heard they’re very poor over there
TheGreenWizard@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Judging by (what looks like?) the slate roof, I’m guessing this in in the UK?. So its probably the AC unit. (I’m sure slate roofs exist outside the UK, I’m just guessing.)
echodot@feddit.uk 10 months ago
It looks to be corrugated iron not slayed. Corrugated iron would be a really weird roofing material in the UK, as it’s terrible for insulation. Also if he was from the UK it would be on the news because no one has air conditioning. It’s really hard to even find someone who knows how to install it.
It can’t be anywhere in southern Europe because they’d already have air conditioning, could be France or Germany though they tend not to have aircon by default.

Dude climate change demands these. Have them powered by solar panels and its a win/win
Gladaed@feddit.org 10 months ago
They might have meant that. Americans using climate change to bully them to install a mini split.

Any energy from solar going to AC means solar energy not going to the rest of the house.
jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
solar produces more in the summer, when an AC is more needed
Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 months ago
Unless you’ve got a battery to charge, or are otherwise constantly running something that takes more than a solar panel generates, most of it probably isn’t going to the rest of the house anyway.

Well you messed it up anon. You’ll need a bigger antenna for good wifi ac
lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
Nah, that’s the antenna to watch TV for the TV watching license.
I have heard that they recently passed a bill for having a toaster license to use your own toaster.
QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I heard about the TV Watching License from my boyfriend the other day. I honestly thought he was joking, what a way to find out he wasn’t.
QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
If you don’t have air conditioning, you live in Alaska or you’re just crazy.

This guy’s European roof looks better than the prettiest American houses
rtxn@lemmy.world 10 months ago
American eyes can’t bear the blinding light of the truth and they scurry back into the gooncave.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
As an American, I’m offended by this characterization…
I don’t have a gooncave.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Is that a European roof? I haven’t seen corrugated iron anywhere there, but then again, I haven’t been everywhere in Europe.
rtxn@lemmy.world 10 months ago
More likely to be asbesthos sheets. Still regrettably common in former Soviet countries.

I love living in a country/part of the country that doesn’t really need AC. Today is the hottest day this week peaking at 27°c but the rest of the week is like 23°c. Perfect weather to go to the beach to cool off.

Yeah fuck my neighbour let’s flood his windows with more heat, I’m cool
Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It actually adds to the updraft increasing the windows effectiveness.

Wait that hits too close to home.
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Do these pe*ple not know window units exist???
mholiv@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Those only really work for American style up down windows. In Germany and most eu countries a different style are used. They are hinged on both the bottom and the side and you can choose which set of hinges to use. Very useful but not compatible with American style window AC units. If you google for “German window” you’ll see the memes.
Godric@lemmy.world 10 months ago
if you google “german window”
That sounds suspiciously like a sex act, not falling for that one!
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’ve seen the memes I just don’t understand how no one has come up with a window unit that can be properly mounted to them. Window units have been around for decades and not one engineering company has capitalized the idea?
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
I mean, you could turn it on it’s side if the pump was still at lowest point and you moved/turned the lines and radiator to the proper positions. Not sure how feasible that is. If the cooling loops, fluid reservoirs, and radiators were reconfigurable for that purpose, it would tap into a new market for the manufacturer that pulled it off.
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
My guess: american guests expect 70s temps or AC. Homey runs airbnb, guests want it and go to his competition that offers it, therefore he’s bullied.
poor fuckin’ baby.
frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Much of Europe is getting hotter. AC is literally a life-saving technology on extremely hot days. No, it’s not mere “comfort”. Old people, in particular, are at high risk.
And it’s not like Europe is completely blameless when it comes to global warming, either.
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
(not so) cool story bro.
bassad@jlai.lu 10 months ago
come on, most of the world have worst temperatures and no AC
