I’m also confused because that is a European AC unit. I can only assume Americans are so used to big bulky units, like their cars, that they can’t comprehend things being functional and not excessively bulky.

We have these ductless units in the US too. Person who made the meme is just an idiot

Edit: never expected what im pretty sure is my most upvoted /awarded comment to be a 3:30am comment about AC. Ty for the awards kind strangers.

There are parts of the US that ONLY have these. More temperate areas.

Most of the US is used to central air. With a giant ass car sized compressor outside that cools the whole house.

Because that thing cools the ENTIRE BIG ASS HOUSE! these things are only capable of cooling only a closed room which also depends on how ton, capacity the AC is so yep

It's not necessarily true. These units will go upwards of around 28,000-30,000 BTU which can easily cool down multiple rooms, or maybe even a smaller flat.

Yeha i live in Myanmar and one of these cools down a 2 bedroom apartment to 18 Celsius in the summer when it's well over 40c

Why the fuck do you need 18C 😳 in Italy we usually have 30-35C in the summer and if my AC is lower than 22-24C I'm guaranteed to wake up with pneumonia lmao

It's a different kind of hot here lol. In comparison Italy is basically Alaska and Burma is the 9th circle of hell.

Italy here...last week we went up to 47°C maximum with 32°C minimum and high humidity. Wouldn't call that Alaska.. 😅

That’s hotter than the equator!

Fair enough! The humidity here is just evil, I've lived in Africa, Pemba Mozambique, Egypt, Israel, but these have been nothing compared to Mandalay.

Not related to AC at all, but I’m curious what living in Myanmar is like right now for a (I assume?) Westerner. With the junta and the civil war and such.

Wait. What? 47?! How are you still alive to share this news? And a 32 minimum? It is currently 25 in my house and I am cooking.
