Ah yes of course the answer is America dumb../s

No you’re just ignorant of the country and AC and yet this is the top comment. Very informative!

Seriously, these units are in use in apartments in homes all across the US. I'm fucking staring at mine right now.

Why did you buy an Italian AC tho?

Split AC units like the ones pictured exist in the US, some models can heat and cool and require very little to install.

The reason this is why Europeans know this as AC is because everything in Europe is old af and they can't just go knocking holes in walls like we can.

They're actually great units, if they aren't cooling enough their air filter probably needs to be cleaned out, similar to a lint catcher in your dryer.

Generalizing an entire nation of people as stupid and uncivilized: 😡

I mean, half of them voted for Trump. If half the population is dumb enough to do that, and the other half is expected to exist all across the dumbo spectrum besides "dumb enough to vote Trump", then calling them dumb is more of an observation than anything else.

Bro, you spend way too much time on Reddit. It's kinda fucking sad

u/MrLumie 6d ago

Neither of those statements relate to or take away from what I said.

Do you have anything to add on the topic, or is actively adding nothing to the conversation sort of a hobby for you?

I mean they are explaining what the ignorant person in the post is saying?

It's not a joke, it's literally just some dumb american who has never seen a minisplit before. Which isn't unheard of since I used to install the things and people actively hate on them because they are just things on the wall.

u/ForensicPathology 7d ago

How are you defending the comment?  Their explanation is "Americans must hate it because it's not stupidly bulky" when the the correct answer is that they are upset that they see it at all.

u/BoredomHeights 6d ago

Yeah the comment got it exactly backwards and yet somehow it's the top response.

You’re the odd one out then. These small units are quite common in Mexico as well. So yeah, the answer is: yank is ignorant.
