@Lismarblue A lethal dose of caffeine would require you to drink 88 cans of Red Bull in a short period of time. You'd die from the excess water consumption by can 17 though.
@BitterPearlCos@sandwichhawk@Gryffix OMFG you just put it in the window! I run TWO fairly beefy window units in my house all summer while sleeping and it uses about $0.85 a day worth of electricity.
Are things really that bad there that you guys can't afford a $200 window unit and $1 - $2 a day to be comfortable?
@storageinator@sircalebhammer Exact same setup. We use the central AC to keep the house at 78, but then cool the bedrooms to 65.
I calculated the cost and with both units running it's legitimately under $1 a day. Units were both under $300 and one is 6 years old and the other is 4. Both still work like new.
@BootyPootiePoo @ipnotjcaa And your room will be slightly above refrigerator temperature within an hour. It's kinda crazy how well these work in a small bedroom.
@GoodBannedName@dzdarrell @ipnotjcaa A small window unit legitimately only costs like $30 a year to run. These people have somehow built up air conditioning into some monumental undertaking that's going to rewrite their entire existence. $200 and a Saturday afternoon and this all goes away.
@TasteSubjective@ChristinaTasty Unfortunately they can't install window units because they're not allowed to open their windows (no I'm not kidding, look it up).
@mightydudbolt@DomenicTencati Yes and historically women would point to all of the "privilege" that men receive in society. Even the most ardent feminist knows there's no basis in this claim when it comes to today's younger males, so all they're left with is the hostility without any sort of explanation.
@g0rthaur257427@st_louis_stan I had such severe OCD/health anxiety I couldn't function anymore. A low dose SSRI resolved those issues nearly 100%. It comes with some pretty awful side effects but it's better than not being able to leave my room for fear of contracting some rare long forgotten disease.
@KimiGoatanelli Good God people, if it's really that bad just buy a portable air conditioner. I just looked on Amazon UK. They're around 200ยฃ with free delivery.
