This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is not air conditioning. Not to be the "actually" stereotype, but air condioners literally "condition" the air by removing humidity (it was actually designed for this purpose, a side effect of removing the humidity was lowering the air temperature). This is simply good ducting and natural exchange.

Good for the environment, yes! Air conditioning? No

These condition the air by adding humidity, so you are actually wrong.

You're completely correct, I live in an area where you'd never be trying to add humidity lol. I was also thinking in the context of why it was originally invented, which was wrong to do. I removed my comment
