Original question by @[email protected]

To let a breeze into your room, do your windows open out from the bottom or the top?

If your windows are stacked (upper and lower) which part opens and which part stays fixed?

(Germans with 3D windows don’t count. Lüften is a weird cultish ritual and you should all feel bad.)

    How is “lüften” a weird cultish ritual? I’m not German, but opening your windows in the morning and in the evening while doing things like brushing your teeth or showering seems pretty standard to me.

      That would make the house hot af where I am. (Or cold af in the winter time)

      Also, humidity levels would increase, not decrease, because the air conditioner dehumidifies.

      …I suppose it’s not hard to guess that I’m in southern US. People sometimes die if their A/C breaks during a heat wave.

      Fun fact: Florida used to be much less livable. Its population skyrocketed when air conditioning was invented.
