I paid for an Air Conditioner about 18 months ago. That's how I deal with it.

Bought an LG air conditioner for $200 3 weeks ago. Keeps my room at a nice frigid 70 degrees. Even came with a remote so I can avoid getting up and maximize my shitposting time.

I feel you bro. 8:00 at night and the heat index is still over 100.

>>55740189
Btw I have central air, but my battle station is on the second floor so it's 1000 degrees upstairs and -15 degrees downstairs

My shitty apartment only has a window unit. It vibrates weirdly and leaks water inside my apartment sometimes, so I tilted it backward so that the water all drains outside. We'll make it, lads.

How do you get fresh air and oxygen into your home without it costing $$?

>>55740837
Open a window.

>>55739450
Fans and long T shirts for more airflow.

>>55739503
Fans only make it hotter.

>>55742120
In a vacuum, maybe

But for an apartment/room, it makes it cool.

My upstairs neighbour has an air conditioning unit, so I put an intake fan in my vent and it steals their cold air.

I'm using a state-of-the-art new piece of tech that came out Last Thursday.
It's called an "Air conditioner"
It's fucking amazing; just magically cools the air. Like fuck, I can't even imagine how it works; bitch who invented it be damn smart, nigga

>>55744616
pls mom

>>55744616
fuck you and you're gay shit!

>>55739450
Air Conditioner.
It's cheap, effective, power efficient.
Cools the air, cleans the air, lowers humidity.
Can be weekly programmed, got wifi controls.

And it's piss cheap.

Anyone not using an AC already is just plain retarded. It's so fucking cheap, it's crazy.
(A Chinese Gree, or Midea unit is cheaper than a ghetto PC build.)

>>55744678
>Like fuck, I can't even imagine how it works
Physics?
There is a load of refrigerant that transfers the heat, usually it's R-410A. The heat is transferred between the inside and outside unit using the copper pipe and said refrigerant.
The two tubes that you have to run between the inside and outside unit is the said refrigerant one, and the water drainage. ***

It's not really magic and it's not complicated either.

There are only two golden rules:
Always make sure the water drain pipe is tilted by a few degrees, to make sure the water does not stay in the pipe. ***

Always clean the AC before you use it each season. An AC cleaner is piss cheap, and you just take off the front of the inside units and spray that shit inside.

Btw I'm this guy:

You don't know the meaning of heatwave

>>55742952
It's cheaper and easier to make dry air more humid, instead of removing humidity. It costs what... 10$ to get those things that just make water vapor?

Not being a pussy, ever tried it?

Ctrl+F ice condoms...

Jesus, guys. You are stupid. For those who aren't endowed with AC's, ice condoms are the nr. 1 alternative. Fucking educate yourself!

Is AC=muh ozone/global warming still a thing?

>>55744925
god damn, dude...
I actually have a moderate understanding of refrigerating systems. Not down to a T, like I couldn't explain in detail, but that post was OBVIOUS satire about how stupid OP's question was.

>>55745165

Have you ever actually SEEN the Sun? like IRL?

Refrigeration really is some freaky science wizbiz bullshit though.

I understand it pretty well btw.

>>55745370
I saw it like 3 days ago, most people I know are still suffering sunburn from it.

I'm not joking.

>>55745289
No.

The only ozone harming is when they release the refrigerant. But no one does that anymore.

1) The new refrigerants are faaaar less harmful to the ozone layer.

2) You get fined to hell if you release it. In Europe you must track all your purchase/usage as a company and/or technician.

tl;dr: Nope.

>>55745362
And I had a few hours of sleep. I am sorry.

I turn on the air conditioner for 5-10 minutes every hour or so. My room gets hot so quickly.

>>55745515
Why would you do that?
If you have an AC that is not a decade old, it will just turn off the compressor and let the fan run only, resulting in almost no power consumption.
