I'm not convinced. So I asked my own independent panel of experts, and they all agreed. The panel:

    Two of my experts, pictured here, also agree.

    Hahaha you really know my cats, don't you! They are trash cans. They eat everything. They come home with neighbor's trash. When I bake a bread and leave it to cool down, I find it half eaten while I smell their diarea. They always act like I never feed them. Spoiled brats. And they were born in captivity, with parent born in captivity. So it's not like they learned to survive on the streets. They have zero survival instinct.

    Also, the text with the dark 3-color is on point. She's the biggest attention whore, drama queen and diva. She eats the fastest and then tries to steal the food from her sisters. She managed to break in into the room with full bags of food by grabbing the door handle and then she managed to dig open the really thick food bags. She then started to growl to keep her sisters away from her loot, because 8kg of kibbles is not enough to share, everyone knows that.

    Also, I like you name :)

    If you give a pet a good home, I won't judge you. Me personally, however; I would sooner sleep outside than keep my fuzzy kitty from curling up in the crook of my arm, placing her paws in my hand, and resting her little head on me so she purrs like crazy before we both drift off to sleep...

    My cat FINALLY figured out that I don’t want her on my chest to sleep. She jumps up in the middle of the night and nestles into my arm and purrs herself to sleep. It’s so cute. And I’m allergic to her. It’s worth it.

    is this about airflow? that really is valid, people don't get enough fresh air inside imo.

    about the cats, yeah, they definitely deserve a spot next to you.

    edit: i checked and yes it's about co2 buildup. keep the air moving, open that door.

    It's a fire prevention thing to keep doors closed, if a fire breaks out when you're asleep it really can make the difference in you surviving it. But, the cats aren't going to let me do that, so we all go down together.

    I mean, instead of asking for information you want, you could just go look for it. Maybe clicking this link and even reading a touch won't be too difficult? Not trying to be an ass, but it took seconds. https://www.bhg.com/sleep-with-bedroom-door-shut-11888160

    Bro literally asks for "data to support this"

    So I guess they wanted someone to say

    yeah theres data to support this, trustmebro™

    And thats it

    Because usually people looking for DATA would use the internet search function, NOT expect verbal responses which DO NOT constitute data

    I dont understand all the idiots downvoting you because I wouldve done the same thing

    You want data, search the web

    You want anectdotes, talk on a forum

    Its annoying when people expect to be spoonfed credible data on a forum rather than taking 5 seconds to find it themselves (and sharing it, imagine that, fucking utopic) instead of someone else spending double that time finding it and writing a comment with sources in reply (thats called spoonfeeding)

    But hey here comes the airplane I guess

    It blows my mind that people will take safety advice from a random comment, question it, and expect another random comment to clarify for them, especially in a platform as small as Lemmy. It's so alien a thought process to me that I can't understand it, but it makes it easier to see how misinformation spreads so easily.

    Are you asking for anecdotes or information? Because it would've taken less time for you to search than for me to search, write a comment, and post a link. Why are you on the internet if you want other people to read for you? Good on you to attack me for your laziness.

    I’m with you on this one. The way they rudely asked that question, then forced you to look up the answer and post the link. It should be illegal.

    Bro, no one was attacking here until you rolled up and attacked. You weren't even the person they responded to. You could've said and done nothing and no one would have ever known or cared. Instead, you decided to cause a scene.

    I just keep my window open. Unless it rains, then it's closed.

    The apartment faces East and West, so as long as the kitchen window is cracked open, the air moves, not even a closed door stops it, it just travels through the small gap at the bottom. Nearly knocked me down once with how strong the gust got.

    You could just sleep with the window open, rather than having the cat jump on your belly at 3am waking you up and scaring the hell out of you.

    I have a CO² sensor. When I sleep with the door shut, the CO² climbs up to and levels out at >1800 ppm.

    I have a noticable headache the following day when I do this. I've tested it for nine days and now I've got a doorstop which prevents me from closing the door completely by accident or with drafts

    Brew vats of algae in your room. Creates a ton of oxygen and is really easy to care for.

    What kind of algae? I want to grow a vat of it. Assuming it's a fresh water algae.

    There was research into algae to make fuel, started during the arab oil embargo, killed off by big oil, then exxon eco opted it and made sure it went no where and finally just killed it. But the national renewable energy laboratory has a bunch of strains at cost. The best strains mysteriously disappeared from the university of hawaii that is holding them.

    Mine goes up to 2850 or so, even when I air out the room in the evening down to 430 or so.

    But luckily no headache for me. I can't handle having the door open, I'm the last flatmate to get up in the morning.

    Well there is no forced air. There isn't really any variables to have anyone look at. Short of sawing a hole in a wall, door or window.

    According to this calculater:

    • 400 ppm CO₂ in air would be about 0.72 g / m³
    • 3000 ppm CO₂ in air would be about 5.40 g / m³

    The room is about 20 m³ in volume. So in total that's 14.4 g to 108 g in a night. Ignoring any that diffuses under the door into the hallway, this would imply I breathe out 93.6 g of CO₂ in 8 h at rest.

    A common number I see online for adult humans is 1kg per day. Makes sense that a significantly higher than proportional part of that is during waking hours, so I expect quit a bit less than 300g at night. Seems pretty plausible to me all-in-all.

    Get a Snake plant. They create a lot of Oxygen and easy to take care of.

    You would need hundreds of houseplants to offset a single human's CO2/provide enough O2.

    I'm not anti house plants, they have benefits, but a single plant will not make a meaningful oxygen difference.

    6 Normal size snake plants can produce enough oxygen to keep a single human alive fyi

    Source? As far as I'm aware that's a false claim that's been circulating for a while. It distorted a NASA study about air quality, not even about oxygen production. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-nasa-study-snake-plants-oxygen-survival-212605533455

    Put it this way, to provide enough oxygen for a human, you would have to grow the equivalent plant matter worth of carbon. We eat a lot of carbon, that's a lot of plant growth per day.

    A skit of three lines:

    Man: I am the son of God!

    Woman: That's blasphemous!

    Man: But sister, surely you know our father?

    God is a unified field of consciousness that arose from the supersymmetry of the ever-present, eternal emptiness to then fold in and on Itself across eleven dimensions to form a topological matrix that acts as a monadic nodal communication system; entanglements defined by the communication process of Server, Client, Holy Internet.
