Here is the context of this copy-pasta: I am referencing an old redditor named Unidan, and this post was his downfall. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/people/unidan It is fun to take the copy-pasta and modify it to fit any all X are Y but not all Y are X type situations, to reference this bit of our shared internet history in a tongue in cheek manner. I don't actually have any problem with ...

Oh... So... LOL!

Thanks for the explanation, now this is actually really funny.

And you also did a pretty good job adapting it to the topic, thought you to be an actual ranting air conditioning nerd! :-)

Huh... I would have imagined a falling person would rip the rivets right out of the fabric and have part of the frame go up their ass, killing them even harder.

Here's the thing. You said a "heatpump is a A/C." Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies A/C's, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls heat pumps A/C's. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying "A/C family" you're referring to the taxonomic groupi...

I love how they show both takes back-to-back in the final cut. It makes no sense from a continuity perspective, but if he's insane enough do that shit twice you're damn right we want to see it.

But he’s right though. Also heat pumps!

Heat pumps are awesome!

I first heard about them when I was praising space heaters as a 100% efficient machine, and I was delighted to hear that there's somehow a more efficient heater XD

I want to know how he still walks, let alone is still alive, after all these dangerous stunts and accidents.

He landed wrong in a film called Armour of God, hit a ruck and crushed his skull.
Whereas I picked up something incorrectly a few decades back and I still struggle to walk at times!! The man is/was elastic, and insane.

In some places where air conditioning is omnipresent they're uncommon. There's a technology connections video about them that touches on it

Not really... People don't blast AC to their outdoor porch.

AC is everywhere in the US, and we still have plenty of awnings

Both of these are regional. Growing up in Ohio awnings were rare. And in some states ac is more or less common. I know in Washington's Puget Sound region it's more or less only in new construction because before the past decade or so it's been mild all year.
