The fact you can take a hot shower on demand. Then get and and chill in your 70 degree abode while your food cooks in 2 minutes is amazingly awesome when you think about it.

Live in the tropics and say that. Have poor people (especially older ones) dropping dead during the summer because it's 40c or more.

I thought this was well known. Trump is our president for a reason, people really believed a billionaire from New York was "their guy."

I've often wondered about cars before AC.

Did people just show up sweaty and smelly as fuck everywhere back in the early 1900 summers?

A lot of those cars weren't enclosed, or they had those open canopies, free A/C!

I've ridden in a convertible on a 100 degree day without the AC on and it was still hot as fuck and I was super sweaty

Because when it is hot outside somehow the air becomes cold when it goes through an open window

And many, many more people died due to heat before the invention of air conditioning than they do after.

Air conditioning has actively saved lives since it came into wide spread use. Sure, for the average person it is just about comfort but you're belittling the actual good it has done.
