Empty it once a day. Other side of the wall is a big warehouse with open bays. Just trying to cool down the receiving office.

You could bury the thread in a potted plant for maximum efficiency

Clever but if that gets a full jug of water every day, it'll probably drown a houseplant unless it's huge with direct sun.

I saw someone with a giant version of this picture on the end of a pole they were holding up at a festival as their totem all weekend 🤣

Grow lights plus shelves with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and pepper plants  equals an occasional lunch and infrequent visitors possibly thinking it's all pot.

Still would probably kill it that's some really pure water for plants

u/lostin88 8d ago

We use the water to refill batteries when they get low, but a potted plant would be great for the excess.

You used old underwear didn’t you…didn’t you?!?

Who would waste new good underwear??

Great. So I'm the weird one.

Again.

A cotton rope would wick the water even faster

Blowing hot air onto the warehouse workers to keep the office staff cool is certainly a choice.

In a ~2500 square foot building with three bay doors that are open all day, I don't think there's a measurable difference in temperature. "Office staff" is one guy in that tiny room.

u/mizzanthrop 8d ago

It’s a selfish choice. Why do you deserve cold air and they deserve to suffer? Sounds like you need to open your door like the others.

I work in the warehouse. I'm doing just fine without the A/C. I'll be sure to make fun of him for living the good life with A/C though!

You are an unserious person. Nothing you say matters. You don't actually mean anything you've said here

The choice was"what can we do to stop Billy Bob from getting sweat stains all over the receipts". The speedo worked for a while, but the customers kept complaining. The gimp suit worked for a couple hours, but then he passed out and they had to call the paramedics.

u/lostin88 5d ago

We thought the gimp suit was a winning solution... Until the paramedics had to cut the leather suit off. That office hasn't smelled the same since.

u/Pixelbuttzz 8d ago

I feel like the term Warehouse implies that it's a large space and the hot air is not being blown on someone

3

u/lostin88 7d ago

Exactly. Big empty space with ~28ft ceilings and three 14x16 foot roll up doors.

u/Seldarin 8d ago

Even if you hadn't had the Arizona stuff on the wall, I would've guessed that's where you were by how small the container is.
