Guten Tag!

was recently made aware that people think air conditioning pumps in air from outside. Cars are a bit different because they have a closed cabin mode but air conditioners work by using a heat exchanger and fan to recirculate the air in a space over and over until it gets to the desired temp. if it pulled in outside air it would either struggle to keep the temp down or not work at all

There is an exception to this, and it's single-hose portable AC units (the kind that sits on the floor and has a hose going to a window panel). The hose isn't pumping outside air in; it's pumping inside air out (after using it to cool the compressor), but the net effect is the same. The air has to be replaced, so external air finds its way in through the gaps and cracks and window edges. This is why single-hose units are less energy efficient and less effective than dual-hose units. They can still cool a small space pretty well, so they're great for small apartments, but it costs more energy to do so. Dual-hose units are exactly as OP said; they pull in outside air, use it to cool the compressor (i.e. absorb the heat the compressor has pulled out of the inside air), and pump it back outside.

Any sci-fi media: the spaceship is a character

imagine if a character was canonically nonbinary and had the most androgynous name, appearance, style, etc. and people started only ever drawing them masculine or feminine or referring to them as a girl/boy and would say "oh well nonbinary people don't HAVE to be androgynous they can be masculine or feminine too :)" every time they got criticism for it....

what even is romantic attraction? is it just the want to be in a romantic relationship with someone or is it some kind of love? idk i just don't understand what the term actually means

"ICE said they would release this person if we got 10k signatures in a week!"

I really fuck with these arabic logos of ikea stylised to look like little house interiors
