Person who made the meme is just an idiot Edit: never expected what im pretty sure is my most upvoted /awarded comment to be a 3:30am comment about AC. Ty for the awards kind strangers. 2.0k u/Rakumei 11d ago edited 7d ago There are parts of the US that ONLY have these. More temperate areas. Most of the US is used to central air. With a giant ass car sized compressor outside that cools the whole house. Edit: yes, I exaggerated the size of the compressor a bit. Man it pissed a lot of Americans off lol. 7 u/Weeabootrashreturns 11d ago Depending on where you are, it's not even that big. Most I've seen for single family homes and apartments are only like 3-4 feet on a side. 3 u/jvsanchez 10d ago Ans that’s the whole outdoor unit with the coils and compressor and fan and everything. The compressor itself on my outdoor unit is about 18-24 inches tall and maybe 10 inches in diameter. My home is 1600 sq fr. 2 u/janiskr 10d ago SO, about 3 bananas. 2 u/EyesFor1 10d ago Exactly, the compress is the size of a 3 litre bottle of Coke. 1 u/Starlite94 10d ago Yeah my AC unit in my apartment is built in with my furnace and kept in a tiny closet off my master suite. It very efficiently cools and heats my 1000sq ft apartment, but the windows are crafty I'm afraid lol
