Air-conman.
The air-conditioner is one of the weirdest invention of Man. We switch on the air-conditioner, and we put on jackets/more clothes to insulate ourselves against the cold of the air-con. We want blankets on ourselves so that we won't be too cold.
So why bother conditioning the air with the air-con then? We give ourselves a good condition to hibernate due to the cold, then we use blankets to make ourselves feel warm.
Why not just skip the air-conditioner and the blanket altogether?
Also, air-conditioners use a lot of electricity. So it contributes greatly to the not-so-abstract concept of 'global warming'. The Earth heats up, making the need for air-conditioners ever more dire. So we use even more air-conditioners, and global warming worsens. The Earth heats up even more, and the cycle continues.
Like, wtf? Why not skip the air-conditioner altogether? Return us our cool temperature please. I think there was a time when Singapore's natural average temperature was 25 degrees celsius. Now it's...what? The balls-sweating temperature. It makes me melt and makes my balls sweat perpetually. Largely thanks to the air-conditioners.
The greatest irony--I thank the air-conditioners ford cooling me down. I thank divine powers whenever I get into an air-conditioned room. Humans are so weird I don't know how to describe them/me.
Air-conditioners are such a scam.
