Meanwhile me with a fan that can be plugged into a power bank via USB-C

Don’t sleep with fans. Celebrities get cancelled for that.

Meanwhile me with a Bluetooth speaker and my phone's built in ambient noise feature.

[eiri@lemmy.ca]

I don't get it

Fan death

[aeronmelon@lemmy.world]

A superstition that fans must not be left running constantly.

Trains in Korea periodically restart the air conditioners in the cars to say that they weren’t constantly running.

Me with a fan plugged into a 1kW ups:

[niktemadur@lemmy.world]

Locked in a house with a killer fan that has a mind of its' own!

Ma'am, we've traced and located the source of that breeze, it's coming from...
Inside the house
Inside the house

[superkret@feddit.org]

Koreans get killed for that.

[lordwiggle@lemmy.world]

That's what ups are for.

When I was in the navy, when the ventilation would go out there's a fire somewhere (real or excersize). There's a fan next to your head in your bed (annoying AF). When it would go out, you'd wake up in fear, jump out of bed and put on your clothes asap before the fire will be notified over speakers. After 5 months at sea, I couldn't sleep without a fan next to me. Waking up in fear multiple times every night. Luckily that's all over now. Now I can't sleep because the world is so fucked up.

Specifically you can’t sleep with a fan on in an enclosed room with no open windows. Thats the murdery bit.

I’ve got this bad boy. Has a nice big battery in it, can last a few nights without being charged.

It’s not a fan, but the white noise is really good and it has lots of sound options. Highly recommended.

I have battery powered fan from Xiaomi.

[rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de]

Why would you even sleep with a fan? Does nothing but stirring up the hot air.

[masquenox@lemmy.world]

I guess you've never met an armada of mosquitos, huh?

[kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I think I've Pavlov'd myself into instantly falling asleep once I feel the fan

[ziglin@lemmy.world]

That's a lot of power that probably won't last long.

[funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works]

if you were in a room with no ventilation (ie shut and sealed windows, a door with an air seal and no air vents)

• in zero gravity
• OR in a room with a heat index of 90°F+ (heat index not temperature)
• OR in a room that puts you in danger of hypothermia (especially if you have heart issues at the same time

it's possible that a fan might exacerbate oxygen deprivation or the affects of the extreme temperatures

If you have normal windows, a gap under the door and a vent of some kind then it simply won't.

[wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world]

The unit is new, just replaced an older one, and an event a couple weeks ago showed about 3h of runtime. Fan was on a low setting, other small devices were running, but no heavy load on the ups.

[theraginggeek@lemmy.world]

Definitely how I feel when the power goes out and I can't use my CPAP, get absolutely shit or zero sleep, I need to get a generator at some point
