Omg he sleeps with a fan. That's adorable.

He's already kind-of dead, what's the worst that could happen?

What? Why on earth should that be unhealthy?

Are you by any chance from Korea? Cause that hysteria about "fan death" seems to be a prevailing urban myth around there:

But apart from people with dust mite allergies and the like, where air circulation can increase the allergen content of the air, sleeping with an fan on does not come with any health risks whatsoever:

No, from europe, Swiss. There's something you learn here as children, not to sleep with wet hair. Same reason, uncontrolled (from your body) cooling in a state where your body has limited capabilities to counter it, limiting your immune system. I'm due to circumstances a bit more prone, i'd get a sore throat if i'm not covered, but that doesn't mean it's good for you.

Edit: right, tropical climate, forget it.

Gonna need to see that source citation pls

Trust me I've totally had a cold for 34 years because of my fan. /s

Suffocation by fan (somehow)

[โ€“] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

No, I don't think I will.

I knew a guy who slept in a coffin. Apparently women were really into that. I mean he was a good looking guy, so he didn't have any trouble with women in general, but apparently the coffin is what really got the ladies going.

My first car was a hearse, so I bought a coffin too, it's great for metal festivals ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿป

That being said, sex in a coffin isn't so practical...

I was just about to ask how the hell you get the good angles, short of closing it and bending them over the top like a grieving widow in a cheezy cop flick (well +sex). I mean it's possible they're more spacious inside than I'm imagining, but...

And another thing, why aren't coffins shaped cool anymore? Why did we discontinue the trapezoidal aspect? The only reason I wanted to be buried instead of cremated is to have a slick ass Dracula coffin (I wish Count Orlok's was the cool kind because I'd rather reference him, but oh well...)

(Alright I went a googlin', turns out Caskets are rectangles and Coffins are coffin-shaped, they're not interchangeable terms. There's hope yet!)

Yeah, some stuff works but overall everything is more restricted. Best thing to do is to use it for hot vamp foreplay/roleplay.

Yeah was about to say this. Another fact: Graveyards are connected to a spiritual building (e.g. a church) while cemeteries are independent locations.

Huh, neat! TIL, thanks!

Maybe it's the coffin I'm missing for my sleeping conditions!

[โ€“] 4oreman@lemy.lol 3 points 1 month ago

wow. this is totally me.

Fan death. But maybe he's not worried.
