    That’s not air con, that’s a swamp cooler. Air-conditioning works by the same mechanism your fridge does. And the cool coils condense water vapour in the air, thus reducing humidity.

      Haha holy shit…they thought THAT WAS AC?

      This right here is the bare minimum as to why education is so important.

        Just so you know, there are places where people live differently from you.

        Would you expect the same level of knowledge about keeping a house warm at the equator? Because I’d argue you need to better your education if you do.

        I’m living in an area where AC is completely unnecessary. About +15°C in warm summer nights (that’s when I open my windows to let fresh air in), +30°C peak but all houses here are well-insulated (they have to be because of winter).

        Of course it’s different in the USA, you have higher temperatures and don’t insulate your houses (a well-insulated house keeps its temperature: it stays warm in winter and cool in summer).
