Fans: Godsend or Placebo Slowly Lulling Humans into a False Sense of Cool

I have two fans, well, three if you count the one on my ceiling. I don’t count that one, because I’ve never really known what ceiling fans were for. Are they to circulate? Cool? Push warm air down? Who knows… hey, if you know the guy who invented the ceiling fan, send him my way, I’ve got some questions for him.

Anyway, I’ve seriously been debating the whole usefulness of fans for a while now. They’re a great idea, but where is that tipping point where all they’re doing is blowing around warm air? What someone needs to invent are AC units the size of fans that take relatively the same amount of energy to run. Then we’d have something useful.

Until then, I’m going to sweat. You can deal with it until it pisses one of you off enough to invent the fan-sized, eco-friendly AC unit.

PEACE
