    This is an Iranian guy who lived in a hole, smoked camel turds, and supposedly never took a bath his whole life.

    Just a little internet trivia as I haven’t seen this pic in like 15 years.

    Does this person never leave their room? Why run the fan when the room isn’t occupied? That’s just wasted electricity…

      Because when I’m not there my great Pyrenees likes to jump onto my bed and sleep directly in front of it as well while I’m at work.

        Are we assuming open windows or something? Either way, I’ve never seen ceiling fans used for ventilation, only for the same purpose as a floor fan, blowing air at you so you can cool down. Is ventilation a common use case in some places?

      I have central air in my apartment that has no on/off switch. I have to flip the right breaker if I want that fan to shut off. It does feel completely unnecessary at times.

        Just so you know, breakers are not on/off switches. Turning them on/off like that is awful for them, they degrade every time they’re tripped. The result of it is, best case, everything on the circuit eventually get destroyed because it’s doing weird shit to the electricity going through it because of a bad connection. Worst case scenario is that it can no longer trip when it should and your entire neighborhood burns down.

          Ah good to know. I don’t actually use them as off/on switches because I don’t fully understand the systems. But I really appreciate the response because bad decisions involving electricity is not a good mix. Thanks man.
