  Awning. They’re a great way to reduce the need for AC by providing shade in treeless regions.

    80% of the flats where I live have one above their balcony - and we are not even close to treeless.

    I was really bewildered by the idea that someone might not know what these are…

      In some places where air conditioning is omnipresent they’re uncommon. There’s a technology connections video about them that touches on it

      I mean you have trees, so they’re mostly on the balcony. I live in a large city (not many trees) of mostly row homes, and they’re on like every window of the side of the houses that face the sun. Not just patios.

      But he’s right though.

      Also heat pumps!

  The lost technology of awnings. Technology Connections strikes again!

    Since no one has provided the Technology Connections link yet… Enjoy losing the next 20 minutes to learning about awnings!

    Wait, he did a video on awnings? That sounds like a fascinating half hour I never knew I needed.

    • DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Don’t need to look to know it’s at least an hour.

      Not dedicated to awnings, I think it was part of one of his home heating/cooling videos. Been awhile.

  It either breaks your fall or you leave a hole that is a perfect silhouette of your prone figure.

  Happens in real life, too:

      I love how they show both takes back-to-back in the final cut. It makes no sense from a continuity perspective, but if he’s insane enough do that shit twice you’re damn right we want to see it.

    Huh… I would have imagined a falling person would rip the rivets right out of the fabric and have part of the frame go up their ass, killing them even harder.

    • sga@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      basically any amount of energy conversion is lossy - a loose fabric stretching and pulling on frame in a “wider fashion”, and any deformation of frame will require a lot energy - all subracting from your fall. and fame up in your tushie is at worst a life long pain in sitting or in bowel moments, a direct fall is iinsta death from basically anything above, lets say, 10th floor (pulled number out of thin air, but assuming a roughly flat contact, and human not falling like a diver reducing the direct load o spine(by crushing their arms))

  Hey it’s not just cartoon characters, an awning also saved Indiana Jones’ life!
