German here, I don't get that joke. What the fuck's an Air Conditioner? Some time of specail air you put in your hair after using shampoo?
Yeah, it's for when your air is too flat and frizzy.
@EmoDuck @The_Picard_Maneuver
Don't many German cars have "airco"? 😅
Anyway, in rare cases it's to moisturize the inside air, some are able to heat, but most of them are used to cool down temperatures in a room or building (like in supermarkets in summer) and are a common thing in resident houses in the hotter parts of the world...
I think it gets its name from being able to condition the air temperature... 😅
jesus christ, germans know what air conditioning is
@JudahBenHur Yeah, by the time I realized it might have been sarcasm, the toot was sent and I was already doing something else... 😅
Oh, well, somebody's gotto be the idiot sometimes, might as well be me... 😅😂
in middle school I raised my hand and asked why the evaporation from the oceans didnt rain down into freshwater lakes and make them salt water also and I think about that about twice or three times a year, I'm in my 40s
But that's a very good question for a child?
Right? I can think of far more embarrassing things I've asked as a child.
I was like 13 ;_;
In elementary school I once asked how chicken eggs get fertilized if their shell is hard (we'd just learned about salmon spawning)...the look my teacher gave me still lives rent free in my head.
Dehumidify
To add to this, reverse cycle (aka heat pump) air conditioners will dehumidify the air during cooling operation as humidity in the air tends to condense on the (cold) indoor unit coil and leaves via the drain pipe.
These air conditioner units usually have the modes; cool, heat, fan only & dehumidify, which is why they arent just called 'air coolers' or 'heaters'.
@lazyslacker or that... 😅
Doesn't work on your mom though, still wet
So on the whole somee are able to heat thing is going to be dependent on where you live, put where I love most heatpumps (air conditioners) that are whole home units or minisplits are reversible heatpump meaning they can both heat and cool
Not sure if this is the correct word for it (really bad at German) but I think the word for it is Klimaanlage.
