People, I am begging you, if you have air con in your flat please PUT IT ON YOUR DATING PROFILE.

@Natsura yes, that's the joke

[natsura@catgirl.center]

@girlonthenet@mastodon.social i get it though... we all gotta do shitty things to survive sometimes.

[jn@boopsnoot.de]

@Natsura @girlonthenet desperate times (second european heat wave of 2026) require desperate measures (meeting only airconditioned people)

[girlonthenet@mastodon.social]

@Natsura I also cannot stress enough: it is a joke

[natsura@catgirl.center]

@jn@boopsnoot.de @girlonthenet@mastodon.social yeah i get it.. i spent nearly a month in Switzerland last July, and I swear it was hot as hell... and my fiance's flat doesn't have air conditioning, so I would have taken a grapist if it meant having air conditioning NGL

@girlonthenet Air con is hot ig.️‍

Heat pump! Heat pump! Heat pump!

@girlonthenet I was in our local Budgens earlier. They had their AC cranked up to insane levels. It was icy cold. Utterly brilliant.

Admittedly, they'd probably frown upon you doing date night kinda activities in aisle 2.

@girlonthenet same goes for Employers:

• If your office doesn't have an A/C, I won't even consider entering it…

@gilester45 @girlonthenet

It's generally polite to start with aisle 1, and only move to aisle 2 once trust has been established.

@neil @gilester45 Incredible

@girlonthenet got it. so now i have two tips:

1. pic with my dog (substitute dog with kitten or any other furry frens you have)
2. pic with my air con

[mxverda@lgbtqia.space]

@girlonthenet no, heat pumps are bettet

[prlzx@hostux.social]

@neil
… this is a teaser toot for a follow up article on why you were no longer allowed to submit jokes for Christmas crackers.

[krnlg@mastodon.social]

@MxVerda Plus, they go both ways!

@girlonthenet

I could probably sort out a tent in front of the open refrigerator, if that might be tempting?

[drajt@fosstodon.org]

@girlonthenet Strictly speaking a properly insulated building, such as a passive house should need neither heating or cooling, so no A/C required.

It still needs to move air about and be properly constructed, but it shouldn't need A/C to stay cool.

Flat? Flat?
