One time when on vacation in Naperville, I wanted some stuff to make food instead of eating out. I went to a grocery store by a CVS called H mart. There was a lot of fans on there. |

Fans don't have souls, whereas computers accumulate the souls of Koreans at the rate of 1/95840 processors built by Samsung. Computers presented a net soul theft until approximately 1988, but since then, they represent positive chi except in the homes of bitcoin miners who possess over 100k processor cores. Please learn something about indigenous knowledges before you imperialistically criticize them.

Bet North Korea has zero fan deaths. No starcraft binge deaths too, for that matter. These southerners should really look up to their neighbors imo

all fans in Korea have razor edges and heat-seeking extending necks like a comfier version of The Pit and the Pendulum. Seems dangerous but the market wants what it wants.

A decade ago, I spent some time in South Korea, and arrived there mid summer. Summer in Korea is hot and humid. My apartment came partially furnished, and I was sharing it with two South African dudes. We each had a private bedroom, and each bedroom came with a medium sized oscillating fan, which was the only cooling option available in the whole place (in the winter it had "floor heaters," at least.) The problem with these fans is that there was a mechanical timer that controlled how long it would run, with the max setting being like two hours. So, when bedtime came, I'd turn the fan on, twist the stupid mechanical timer on, and then hop into bed, only to wake up two hours later covered in sweat with the goddamn fan off. Turn the fan back on, then, repeat. At the time, neither I nor my room mates had any idea about Koreans and their fan death, but this was definitely annoying. So, I went to the local electronics store to find a fan that didn't have a mandatory timer. However, I couldn't find one! So the problem kept up until one night, I awoke in a hot sweat to a lifeless fan, and unable to take it anymore, grabbed a screwdriver and took that bitch apart in the middle of the night, found a way to lock the timer into a permanent "on" position, and went back to bed. The next day I did the same operation to my roommates fans. Sometime later I was eating lunch with some of my Korean friends, and I started telling them about my adventure with the stupid fan designs in their country. The table got very quiet, until one girl piped up to inform me that the timers were for our protection, because the fans suck oxygen out of the air and if we left them on all night we could asphyxiate and die. I could tell she wasn't joking, and was being dead serious, but I had no idea how to respond, as I was the only non Korean there and it was obvious everyone at table believed this.I think I said something along the lines of "um, well, back home in America, everyone runs their fan all night and nobody ever dies...I don't think this is a thing that happens?" We argued back forth, and they seemed just as shocked that *I* didn't already know about this, and that this wasn't something Americans worried about. Finally, the original girl, logically concluded the argument by realizing "Well, Americans must be immune to it!" Anyway, I'm sorry to whoever moved into the apartment after me and the South Africans left, because we left those fans with the safety timers disabled, just waiting to suffocate some sleeping Koreans. I hope I didn't murder anybody.

It's the act of running them that kills you!!! Are you even reading the same thread as me?? I sleep with my noisy computer and my floor fan on. Sometimes I also turn on the air conditioner's fan function. I have a death wish, and that's what makes me cool

Are you even reading the same thread as me?? Can't you read? I'll be in the sauna at the Turkish bathhouse in Taipei's red light district in about 20 minutes if you wanna throw down bro. Bring your fan. Fan death is a uniquely funny South Korean phenomenon. The conservative nature of the society, general taboos towards death, and the family dynamic of encouraging children to take big risks for a worthy payoff and feeling no shame if they fail (because you can always try again tomorrow) probably means that they're super afraid of being seen as failures. What's the biggest failure? Killing yourself because you won't try to be successful. Thus it's easier to blame someone's sleeping pill OD on an electrical appliance in the room than face the fact that your idiot child is a failure.

I don't know man, as grim as Korea can be towards its young, aspiring middle class types, I thought that historically fan death was mostly deeply misunderstood carbon monoxide poisoning (from those underfloor heaters). Nobody I've spoken too that isn't like, 70 believes in it anymore.

i always put my computer into "sleep" mode when I go to sleep, because it boots up faster than shutting it down all the way. but lately windows has decided that it want to wake up in the night to download new updates or mine bitcoins or something? loving windows 10 never respects any of my settings  so now i have to put the computer into "hibernate" mode and turn off the power bar. it can't wake up now, it physically can't! take than microsoft, try and wake up my computer now fuckers
