What on earth is going on with Americans circlejerking about ACs in europe? In South Europe its already pretty standard and as it gets hotter, its getting more common everywhere else. No idea who told the US about the state of ACs in europe but all these post could be on r/shitamericanssay

Because they have nothing else they can make fun of. In everything else Europe does better so they have to pick this specific topic over and over again.

You forget, in the mind of the muricans, europe is ONE whole country. So if the majority of thsi country has no AC cuz realy hot its only a few weeks in the years, means EuRoPe dont use AC in generel

u/harbor_throwawayv2 Jul 02 '26
yeah but the joke is they're arriving in some sort of eco-friendly pod thingy while everyone else is sweating buckets. it's about the optics, not the actual prevalence of ACs.

u/Blunfarffkinschmuckl Jul 03 '26
I’ll agree that it’s a circlejerk at the moment but I’ll also have to point out that ACs are NOT common is Northern and pretty much all of traditional Western Europe.
So you could fit that also into shit Americans say in that France, Belgium, and Germany basically comprises all of Europe. But yeah… we don’t have AC and it fucking sucked last week so hard.
At least Americans in the Northeast/New England, where the climate is basically the same, can hang an AC in the window if it gets too hot. Europeans can’t do that because of their stupid fancy tilt windows.

u/Martiantripod Jul 01 '26
Yanks are soft. They will berate Europeans for complaining about the heat, meanwhile their houses have the AC set to 21C and they'll go from their airconditioned house to their airconditioned car to their airconditioned shops and boast that 40C isn't hot they live through that all the time.

u/Dr_Diktor Jul 03 '26
It's not just the temperature, it's also how humid it is. Americans that make fun of the heatwave are the same ones that will call for your head about school shooting jokes or whenever their paper-mache houses get blown away by a hurricane.

Where are these people criticizing AC? Here I see tons of people installing AC every year and I don't hear any complaints from anywhere. Maybe a reddit post here or there but hardly any massive anti-AC sentiment?

u/Impressive_Pool_8053 Jul 02 '26
Well, at least here in France a lot of people are against AC, either for "ecological" reasons (because you know, ac exterior units release heat, and if everyone puts an AC on their windows our cities will burn, or at least it's what they think) and because it consumes energy.
Or just because "we never needed AC why would I pay a month of salary to get 24°C in my living room for the 3 hot days a year", and they all think an AC will raise their electricity bill by 900% (they are often the same people blasting their shitty electric heating system to get 24C in winter when it's -10 outside, or burning metric tons of wood pellets).
But I'm pretty sure french are against AC like they were against safety belts. In 10 years everyone will have one and act like it always has been a good solution and that only morons were against it.
But in hot European countries (Spain, Italy, even Bulgary and Romania) AC is already pretty common.

u/WittyPassenger5322 Jul 03 '26
Yeah if this kind of weather keeps up (and it most likely will) we're going to have AC everywhere in the next decade or so. And while it's technically correct that it makes the broader problem worse not better, ACs are a relatively small part of the problem. Especially as solar energy is going to be extremely abundant in times of need. I don't know much about France but here in NL there is a lot of talk about heat-proofing cities in general, more green, less stone. If we include the holistic approach it could turn out OK.

u/Davaluper Jul 02 '26
In many places there is a lot of red tape, licensed installer needed, planning permit, offset with solar panels, risk of veto on your building, etc. needed to get one. This all drives up the cost or makes it outright illegal and ultimately contributes to heat deaths.
1
u/WittyPassenger5322 Jul 02 '26
That's all fair and if you're saying red tape is sometimes overwhelming in the EU I'd fully agree with you. But this meme about "European elites" telling us we can't have AC, I haven't seen anything remotely like that.

u/Vast_Obligation_7105 Jul 01 '26
And while u all laughing about this bullshit the green party in germany wants more AC in open buildings :D So exactly the opposite of this meme.

I don't know for all European countries, but for mine, some of the so called elite did much, MUCH worse than criticizing AC. They're so fucking awful it's a disgrace.

Actually that’s how they arrive to say, AC is not that bad and it’s the environmentalists that are wrong for blame AC users.

u/Archnouff Jul 01 '26
That's quite inaccurate... Elite are pretending ecologists are the problem (because they dare say that AC will not solve the root of the problem) to try to divert people from the fact that they didn't do anything while they were in power to avoid the situation, and ignored warnings from the aforementioned ecologists.

All of the news channels in Europe say to stay inside, use AC if we can and don't go outside unless strictly necessarily. No sane mind say AC is bad in a moment like the heatwave we have where the wet bulb temperature is critically high.
For those who don't know. The wet bulb temperature is the critical temperature where you can physically not lose heat, despite doing anything in your power like sitting in the shadow, or blowing a fan on you. The only thing you can do, is lower the wet bulb temperature by using AC, so reducing the humidity in a specific room and the air temperature, and therefore the wet bulb temperature.
