Today I learned that Germans don't like or use air condition. Apparently it's like an American thing.

Now I know why Europeans smell.



HOTH: You freeze to death in America. You go in any office, in any restaurant, and you freeze to death. In Florida, you go out like this here - short sleeves. And you go into a restaurant. First, they serve you ice water (laughter). And then the air conditioner brings you down to 17 degrees.

SCHMITZ: And yes, he says, each time he visits America in the summer, he ends up catching a cold from all the air conditioning. He says he usually can't wait to return home, where the best remedy for the heat is open windows, a neighborhood fountain and his local biergarten.

He must not know that you dont catch a cold because it is too cold. You catch a cold from other people.

They have air just not really central air like that.
They suggest you open your windows at night and lock the cold air in during the day by closing them at dawn

I felt similar to when I went to lake tahoe. We rented an airbnb. Got to the house and it was hot as hell. Ac wasn't working. We looked it up and it said most people living there didnt have ac. It gets real cool it might due to the dry heat and because you are near the water. So it night, we just opened the windows and were good. But during the day sucked.

Bruh, most Americans don't really comprehend that fact. I still have to tell my wife on an annual basis that the kids aren't going to get sick if they don't put on Triple Fat Goose coats as soon as the temperature dips below 70 degrees in the Fall.

I aint gonna hold them. I was an adult when I found out as well, lol. But I dont tell people that.
I like to act real smug about it.

Me: You think you catch a cold cause it is cold outside?

Yea I think there is a reason it only happens to me when the weather changes, but not during the rest of the winter. The body must have a temporary period where it is making the adjustment and while that happens you’re more susceptible. To me that says the myth is not flat out wrong, just not specific enough about what’s happening.

True, but that do want really last as long and cant be passed around. That is why they dont call it a cold since it is not a virus.

While we at it, go ahead and edit my quote where i said "acceptable". For the life of me, I knew that was the wrong word but couldnt think of the right one, lol. I was looking for "susceptible". Go ahead and change that for me so i dont look like a dumbass after coming off real smug about the whole cold thing.

Colds have similar symptoms to acute illnesses like hay fever and sinusitis that can happen due to staying inside being exposed to allergens and the weather changing (reduction in temperature and humidity can cause nasal passages to swell).

I get hit with both during the winter which is why I don't run the heat during the winter. I need all the humidity I can get.
