Koreans get killed for that.
House has a fan that can't be turned off at night.
Koreans: guess I'll just die
I don't get it
A superstition that fans must not be left running constantly.
Trains in Korea periodically restart the air conditioners in the cars to say that they weren’t constantly running.
It’s that you can’t sleep with a fan on in an enclosed room with no open windows. Thats the murdery bit.
A constantly running fan isn’t a problem there as far as I know.
if you were in a room with no ventilation (ie shut and sealed windows, a door with an air seal and no air vents)
- in zero gravity
- OR in a room with a heat index of 90°F+ (heat index not temperature)
- OR in a room that puts you in danger of hypothermia (especially if you have heart issues at the same time
it's possible that a fan might exacerbate oxygen deprivation or the affects of the extreme temperatures
If you have normal windows, a gap under the door and a vent of some kind then it simply won't.
Locked in a house with a killer fan that has a mind of its' own!
Ma'am, we've traced and located the source of that breeze, it seems to be coming from...

Fan death
Meanwhile me with a fan that can be plugged into a power bank via USB-C
Me with a fan plugged into a 1kW ups: 😴
That's a lot of power that probably won't last long.
The unit is new, just replaced an older one, and an event a couple weeks ago showed about 3h of runtime. Fan was on a low setting, other small devices were running, but no heavy load on the ups.
So I'm assuming the 1kw is just the maximum output at a time?
It's the capacity of the batteries. Technically the max output, for a very short time :p
Meanwhile me with a Bluetooth speaker and my phone's built in ambient noise feature.
I have battery powered fan from Xiaomi.
That's what ups are for.
When I was in the navy, when the ventilation would go out there's a fire somewhere (real or excersize). There's a fan next to your head in your bed (annoying AF). When it would go out, you'd wake up in fear, jump out of bed and put on your clothes asap before the fire will be notified over speakers. After 5 months at sea, I couldn't sleep without a fan next to me. Waking up in fear multiple times every night. Luckily that's all over now. Now I can't sleep because the world is so fucked up.
Definitely how I feel when the power goes out and I can't use my CPAP, get absolutely shit or zero sleep, I need to get a generator at some point
I’ve got this bad boy. Has a nice big battery in it, can last a few nights without being charged.
It’s not a fan, but the white noise is really good and it has lots of sound options. Highly recommended.
Why would you even sleep with a fan? Does nothing but stirring up the hot air.
I guess you've never met an armada of mosquitos, huh?
I think I've Pavlov'd myself into instantly falling asleep once I feel the fan
If you’re actually being serious as opposed to trolling, up to about 88 degrees a fan is capable of cooling the human body sufficiently where lowering air temperature isn’t necessary.
Assuming it’s not too humid that is
Seems like I've never been to a country with high temperature and low humidity at the same time. Which is odd, because I've travelled several countries on all continents.
