Mildly Interesting

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.

architecture like this would be better for the environment than industrial air conditioning

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

Seeing a lot of contrarians in this thread who just don't like that the Middle East had literally cool tech before America... pardon, before the people who stole America from the Americas, had literally cool tech.

Probs they are gonna call this thing "weapon of mass destruction" as a pretense for the next Yearly Oil Extraction invasion, conveniently ignoring that from an environmental perspective """modern""" AC is over twelve hundred times the WMD Iranian Air Conditioners ever were.
