Why dont you believe in fan death /jp/?

Has Korea tought you nothing?

>> No.9461227

Fan death = suicide

>> No.9461267

People in general are stupid, it isn't unique to Korea, believe it or not.
There is a belief among some people in the Phillipines that if you let a drop of water run down the length of your back you will catch a cold.
In many Western countries people associate a common 'cold' (rhinovirus) with cold weather, probably how it got its name. Some even suggest that if you go out in cold weather you will catch a cold, probably due to the phenomenon of a runny nose when coming from the cold outside into a warm building.

Then what leads to catching a cold if it's not a cold weather???

I thought if you went outside in a freezing rain, you would get mild hypothermia, which would weaken your immune system and make you more susceptible to common illnesses like the cold.

>> No.9461307

>>9461294

That is probably true, also people tend to be in close quarters in winter.
People exist though who believe going out in the cold will give you a cold in its own right, that was what I was getting at.
It's no less stupid than 'fan death' belief, really.

>> No.9461308

I have three fans on in my room at all times because my AC sucks.

Come at me Gonorrheans.

>> No.9461322

Since I slept with a fan on for whole summers and nothing happened? But I do point it away from me. Anyway, I thought that was about heating fans, why would I use one of those in the summer.
Plus this is /jp/ not /kr/, why did you open this thread here?

Theres a few "theories" they have.
My favorite one is that the fan blades literally slice the oxygen molecules in half making them unbreathable.

Why do you use it for noise?

>> No.9461373

I am living proof that fan death does not exist.

It's really hot here so I have two fans blowing directly on me on high, the ceiling fan on high, and a fan I use for noise when I sleep on high blowing into the air.

Sounds too quiet otherwise.

I grew up with my mom sleeping with a desk fan on high for the noise, and that ended up transferring to me. Now it's really weird to not sleep with a noise fan.

I sleep with the AC on and a fan pointing at me, never had any problems. I just can't sleep without it being freezer cold. I exercise daily and I've gotten tested for a bunch of different things and nothing has come up so I am sure this is psychological.

I don't have tinnitus, but I just like having the noise when I sleep.

Some of the best sleep I ever got was in the middle of class during high school. That noisy bustle just knocks me straight out. Probably why I sleep all day when everybody is awake and doing their lively things.

Maybe they only care about this in Korea because they make shit fans.

Another theory is that fan death exists only in Korea because of the unique snowflake physiology of Koreans.

They might be worse at it than others, but believing in retarded things because society tells you to is a worldwide phenomenon. People all over the West believe that looking at an image can victimize people thousands of miles away with no knowledge of this, by magic.

>Fan death is a widely held belief in South Korea that an electric fan left running overnight in a closed room can cause the death of those sleeping inside.
I've been sleeping with a fan all throughout my life and now I'm scared.

Because I've slept with a fan on countless times because of this fucking heat, and yet I'm still alive. Or maybe I died and didn't notice.

The reason fan death exists is because it chops up the oxygen molecules and makes ozone, which is toxic to humans.
