still a miss-labeling to call them bladeless fans, just because the blades are hidden. by that logic my beef raviolis are vegetarian (tbf: the catholic church made a similar claim during the medieval ages).
Bernoulli Fan is not only more accurate, it also sounds much cooler.
To play devil’s advocate, there are no exposed blades at the point of use. I’d wager people who buy “bladeless” fans are more concerned with aesthetics and avoiding a crying toddler than they are with semantic accuracy. We call Wi-Fi “wireless” even though the router is plugged in.
at work we have expensive fans with a cheap metal mesh around them - to avoid a crying co-worker. at home i have a cheap tower fan with a weird plastic mesh - there are no visible blades on it except if i crank my neck into a really uncomfortable position and shine a flashlight into it. which one of the two can i call bladeless?
luckily i already have a devils advocate and @arctanthrope@lemmy.world dropped the name of god. how well do i need to hide my fans blade to create a Ventilationbescheißerle?
beavers are also a funny thing: it swims, therefore it is a fish. fish aren’t animal.
i was more referencing things like @arctanthrope@lemmy.world expanded: hiding meat in dough. funny how many strategies they had to cheat a supposedly all-seeing, all-knowing entity.
Well, Beef comes from cows, and cows only eat vegetation, so beef raviolis are vegetarian. Now, I’m not a Rocket Biologist, but I think the math here is pretty conclusive.
You know … Bernoulli Fan - that’s way better idea than a room full of MBAs from expensive business schools and months of market research and focus groups with 2 way mirrors ever came up with. Well done

Pun intended, ofc 🤭

I can stick my peepee into a bladeless fan and not worry about cuts so there’s that.
well, no, see, you can’t.
you can stick it through it. but you can’t stick it in it.
You can’t tell me what I can and can’t do with my own peepee.
Username checks out
Regular fans dont have exposed blades either, there is a mesh over it.
I take it you’ve never seen a toddler stick their fingers through the mesh
Yes, I saw. The holes are small enough for an adult and far away from the blades for a toddler that it is safe.
My experience differs.

Beaver?

Religion is the king of all rules-lawyering.
there’s a type of German meat dumplings called Herrgottsbescheißerle, which literally means “little things that bullshit the Lord” for the same reason
Oh my god that makes so much sense suddenly

Is this what a rocket biologist specializes in?
The cynic in me thinks “bladeless” makes them easier to sell in fan-death countries.
Carpinchos (capybara) are fish.

This is such a rollercoaster to read LMAO
Tesla sounded like a cool name for a car too…
If only wasn’t owned by a Nazi.
And weren’t dangerous/death traps for no good reason. And had good service practices, and weren’t anti-resale.
Mr. Tesla is certainly rolling over in his grave.
