But ... but why would you open the window in -5°c?

Everything my dad taught me – and his father him, and so on – would go to waste if I didn't do that! I couldn't disrespect him that way... And besides, it's good for you, to get some fresh air!

Germans and their luften man, they're fkn crazy 😂 it's like some weird superstition they have where the air from the street has magical properties or something

Geez, living on a busy street in LA, this would waste all the work my HVAC filter and air purifier have been doing all morning!

It's not superstition, it's just to reduce the moisture in the inside air, and maybe get smells out and stuff. Things can get a bit stale when the window is never opened
