They should add a little sticker that certifies that the humidifier supports water conservation, but in the sense of energy conservation or momentum conservation.

I ripped them a new one for an air conditioner I bought that made more heat than it did cool!

That's why I laugh at the desktop AC units. You're just going to make the room hotter.

The average temperature of the room is irrelevant if the portion you're sitting in is being cooled, though.

Yes it's creating more heat, BUT it's creating that heat somewhere I'm not at, so it's doing it's job.

Do you also laugh at your refrigerator? 😉

I do actually, but it's more of a sad laughter because there's nothing inside
