@UhtredofBham @FreddyLA7 I'm pretty sure that Auburn has already claimed him.

@FreddyLA7 Since someone has to say it at least ironically...

@FreddyLA7 This effect should only be relevant when someone goes from no AC to AC and would not be relevant for people living with AC.

But a European traveling to the USA or Americans turning on their AC for the first time in the Summer, the effects are likely real.

[petty042 @petty042]

@FreddyLA7 For people challenging that AC can make people sick, AC lowers indoor humidity. Lower humidity increased the mobility of airborne pathogens. Going from no AC to AC will cause your immune system to come into contact with more pathogens and respond.

[petty042 @petty042]

@FreddyLA7 There is an understandable mechanism to explain people reporting summer colds when they first turn on their ACs.

There was study looking specifically at AC in hospital ORs. Colder rooms led to more post-surgery infections with humidity driving things.

[petty042 @petty042]

@randomname6956 @FreddyLA7 But there is an underlying logic to individuals reporting getting summer colds when first turning on their AC for the year. Their immune systems are likely making contact with a higher number of airborne pathogens.

[petty042 @petty042]

@randomname6956 @FreddyLA7 The underlying mechanism was found to be the humidity.

Europeans likely have weaker immune systems as a result of lower indoor mobility of airborne pathogens and thus less primed immune response.

[petty042 @petty042]

@randomname6956 @FreddyLA7 There was a study looking at specifically hospital operating rooms where sanitary standards are exceptionally high. Cooling such rooms to a greater degree was found to increase the probability of infections after surgeries.

[petty042 @petty042]

@randomname6956 @FreddyLA7 You are slightly mistaken. Air Conditioning has been found in certain setting to significantly increase the transmission of pathogens. Air Conditioning tends to lower the humidity in enclosed spaces. Low humidity increases the mobility of air born pathogens.

@FreddyLA7 Judging American food off of Louisiana is like trying to judge European food off of Lyon and eastern France.

Get your German butts to a Louisiana crawfish boil before you leave.

@FreddyLA7 If these numbers were illusions created by currency fluctuations (the Dollar being up or the Euro being down), then one would expect to see that in real estate prices. If Alabama real estate seems reasonably priced to a German, then the incomes are real.

@FreddyLA7 Estimates of state-level GDP per capita across the USA from Bureau of Economic Analysis statistics divided by Census Bureau population numbers against World Bank statistics for countries as of 2024.

@GoodBoy97773735 @FreddyLA7 His one famous quote is from his demanding apricot dumplings during the Winter when apricots were out of season and responding "Ich bin der Kaiser und ich will Knödel!"

@GoodBoy97773735 @FreddyLA7 Emperor Ferdinand V's parents were double first cousins. One of Marie Antoinette's brothers and one of her sisters married a brother and sister and then married two of their children together to produce Ferdinand.

@LouisvilleDrama @FreddyLA7 Nothing besides the world's 6th largest pyramid, the second largest with a hotel inside. And even as a Texan, I have to admit that Memphis has some of the world's best BBQ.
