Angrily pointing at my 1000 thread count sheets produced from cotton harvested in a former African colony and demanding that you feel pity for me.

JFC, what kind of AC do you think the Egyptian cotton farmers had?

This is the second post I’ve seen where they’re complaining about the insulation. My brother in Christ you gotta close up the house in the mornings and trap as much coolness as you can inside.

The last place I lived had for all practical purposes no AC when it regularly gets to over 100 and closing the house up after 10am is vital to pushing the suffering to mid afternoon. Having more than one fan centered on you and cold showers do wonders.

Weren’t there just protests over there ABOUT the lack of insulation that the mainstream UK just kinda shrugged off or got mad at for blocking traffic?

Edit: I wasn’t aware that br*ts don’t insulate at all so whatever

Oh this is my thing

When you insulate a home for a cold, wet, climate you put what’s called the ‘vapor barrier’ on the inside of the home, so as to prevent the warm air inside from coming into contact with the cooler building materials and forming condensation.

In places where it’s normally hot, you insulate with the vapor barrier on the outside because you want to prevent the hot air outside from coming into contact with the cooler air inside, either because of air conditioning or the home cooling methods described in this thread.

So while the insulation does still work both ways, the method by which the insulation is applied does affect the efficiency by which the home can be cooled
