Edit: apparently Voyager doesn’t do underscores for italic?
_ It works on my end (without leading and trailing spaces) _ -> It works on my end (without leading and trailing spaces)
Looks like it’s specifically when an underscore follows a normal letter instead of whitespace. Not sure if that’s as intended by the markdown spec, incorrect in Voyager or unspecifed
With underscores:
normal_italics_ normal italics
With asterisks:
normalitalics normal italics

That’s almost certainly intended behavior, otherwise any underscore would trigger formatting (much like the asterisk does instead of allowing snake_case_naming
The markdown specification recommends using asterisks specifically for that. It is not exactly intended, but left to the interpreter. Most markdown interpreters leave the underscores intact if they’re inside a word.

You can escape formatting characters with a leading backslash.
The italics show up for me fine, so they’re getting through!
I changed it in the edit
Ah, gotcha.
Its all a scam
OnlyFans doesn’t even sell fans.
It turned into a heated argument with a manager who, in the middle of project she complains is “taking too long” (despite constant scope creep, moving targets of adding stuff and changing expectations)…she walks up to my desk with her home modem/router she got from ISP. She kept saying it’s “wireless” but didn’t understand that 1. You still needed to plug the coax into the wall and 2. YOU STILL NEEDED TO PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO THE FUCKING WALL

Is this from Blade 4?
Pretty confident it’s from Deadpool and Wolverine.
Can’t believe I forgot about that. Best Blade movie since the original.
I actually quite liked all of them to some degree. I even enjoyed the awful CGI rubber ninjas fight scene; I know the movement was unrealistic but I was young enough that I figured it was superhuman vampire flexibility. However, I agree that the first one was the best.
Trinity was my second introduction to Ryan Reynolds, so that helped some. (I’m pretty sure I first saw him in Van Wilder.) Also Wesley Snipes saying “gootchie goo” to a baby was pretty hilarious, though reflecting on that I’m not sure they ever explained how he got that child back to its mother.
Also, I think Natasha Lyonne was in that. I knew I recognized her when my wife started watching OitNB, but it took me forever to figure out why.
Well, I guess I’m about to watch Blade 3 again.
The “rubber ninjas” instantly ruined the film for me. That scene is seared into my memory, and takes second place after the entirety of The Phantom Menace for film betrayal.
Like I mentioned, I honestly kind of enjoyed it as I was able to explain away the lack of reality. What really bothered me was, I think right before it, Whistler comes out with some sort of big firearm, then just stands there while a ninja knocks it out of his hands and slaps him in the face.
Again, I explained it away to myself (vampire ninja has superspeed, standing still was just meant to demonstrate that) but, even if that was what was intended, it just wasn’t very well done.
True story
There was at series!?!
Its true there is a fan in the base of all bladeless fans, but the fan is smaller then traditional fan designs and moves the same if not more air then traditional fans.
Air is pulled in through the base and forced through a thin slit. This fast stream of air creates an area of low pressure, drawing in and amplifying surrounding air behind the slits.
Because air “sticks” to itself, when you get some air moving (by breathing out, for example), the initial bit of air that you move “drags” some air with it from beside and behind. This is what Dyson calls “air multiplier technology”.
Dyson uses this property of air to claim that they only have to move a fraction of air (with the fan in the base) of all the air that blows past you.
Here is a example of how this works, and how you can use one breath to fill a large bag.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAAelB7nN14
Here is a image of the multiplier effect, from the original intake of air at the bottom. You can see the air is multiplied from behind and infront of the fan.
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.
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.

I hope you win some international competitions with this handle so the announcer has to yell out “SATAN’S MAGGOTY CUM FART wins!”
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?
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
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
That’s just a nickname, they are called Maultaschen 99.9% of the time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maultaschen
They are basically very large ravioli, but with a more German flavor (for lack of a better word). As far as I know, the origin story is more legend than fact, but it’s a funny anecdote nevertheless.
Very tasty, I recommend giving them a try if you ever have the chance. Vegetarian and vegan versions are available BTW (at least in Germany).
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.
(tbf: the catholic church made a similar claim during the medieval ages).
Carpinchos (capybara) are fish.
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

Beaver?
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.
Religion is the king of all rules-lawyering.
This is such a rollercoaster to read LMAO
Pun intended, ofc 🤭
A traditional fan also pulls air from around its blades using the same principal. A bladeless is just a gimmick it has no actual benefits.
Here’s a video on the subject:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySSo5PmZZJM
It turns out, a bladeless fan is even less efficient than a traditional one. It works better, when you remove the casing.
it has no actual benefits.
- no toddler will put their hands in to it
- can look better for some people
Thank you.
Much like Sharper Image’s Ionic Breeze, this is a very expensive bullshit tower, but I am seeing them everywhere lately. Box fans are fucking amazing. Get a box fan.
I did one better, I got myself a ceiling fan.
Of course they have benefits. Depending on the situation of course. I wouldn’t put one in my computer, but I sure as shit have one in my home with a kid running around. Turns out a fan with all the heavy spinning hardware stuff in it’s base is less likely to fall over than one with all that stuff up on top. Honestly all my Dyson stuff work fucking great for their intended purpose.
Paying the absolute minimal amount for something isn’t necessary the goal of life. You’re not a corporation.
None of what You said is about efficiency, which is the subject here. Not paying corporations for bullshit is one of my goals in life.
unironically love Lemmy for the explainers you get on a shitpost. Only stumbled on this cause I was looking it up myself. Thanks for the write up :)
Keep in mind, that the explanation is wrong.
It’s the same reason I use a beef bouillon cube in place of real meat when I feed my vegan friends. It’s much smaller so it doesn’t count.
My god, the sass - it’s magnificent.
Sir, this is a
Wendy’sshitpost community.It’s also just Dyson’s completely overpriced bullshit. It makes weak air flow and has no real benefit for use as a fan.
Project Farm has tested them a couple different times. They’re expensive aesthetic toys.
*Edit: While I’m on a bit of a Dyson rant; I’d just like to also say that I HATE their hand dryers that some places bathrooms use.
Works pretty well on my end
Any similar priced fan likely works better. Especially the fans seem to be garbage IME…
The dyson we use in the office is worse than the other fairly standard fan for a fraction of the price (airflow and loudness…)
Fans are usually loud in proportion to their speed. Quiet ceiling fans have a big diameter and many blades. Doesn’t a small fan cause a lot of noise?
Honestly depends on speed, quality of bearings and motor, blade geometry and thickness as well as any possible enclosures.
The biggest source of noise with fans is air cavitation.
It’s also possible to reduce perceived noise with some blade spacing tricks. I remember reading about how Apple designed the MacBook fan blades to seem really quiet under normal load. It was pretty interesting to read. I’m too lazy to find a link, but it should be easy to find with a quick search, if interested.
Yep, which is why those Dyson fans emit an annoying high-pitched shriek.
I just imagined someone turning on a fan and hearing an electric f1 car drive by
Yes. It’s not necessarily the size that makes the noise, but rather the rpm required of the smaller fans to move an equivalent amount of air. I have a fan in my phone, for instance. It is so small that it spins at 23,000 rpm to make just a small amount of air movement I can barely feel, but easily hear. My ceiling fan can’t be heard at all but still moves WAY more air while spinning at a couple hundred rpm. The air turbulence from blade speed is most of what you hear from a fan.
i don’t think the point of the post is about being useless or inefficient, but about the misleading name
Speaking of the dyson. IMO one of the worst fans out there: extremely weak (see measurements on YouTube), extremely loud and very fragile… Have one in the office, and I hate it…
A classic fan, fraction of the price performs better in all relevant categories…
Btw. They also create a “bigger” airflow around them so in that regard not better…
Don’t forget the fact that they cost like 400 plus dollars for reasons
I’ve never really understood this multiplayer thing, sounds like a free energy gimmick. You can move more mass at the same speed without putting in more power.
You’re basically trading energy to move higher volume of air. The fan can move smaller amount of air at higher speed, but larger amount at a gentle breeze feels nicer and helps with circulating the air in the room better.
You could achieve it by taking that exact motor and slapping a bigger fan onto it, but that looks less cool and probably produces more noise? Maybe there’s some efficiency differences if the motor is better at spinning fast, but as a spherical cow in vacuum it should be similar.
It’s cheaper to make electric motor spin fast with low torque than slow with high torque, a ceiling fan of the same cfm needs a bigger motor than a standing fan.
I would counter that a small fan spinning at high rpm makes more (annoying) noise than a large fan spinning at a lower rpm.
But due to it being hidden maybe it can be isolated easier?
Yeah, the fan being completely shrouded in plastic will dampen a lot of noise. And for the price, the fan is probably well balanced and somewhat optimised. From what I recall, the dyson bladeless fans are near silent.
So it’s like a lever, you aren’t just magically getting more volume at the same speed without more power, it just slows down when interacting with the outside air, ie conservation of momentum
maybe it works kind of like how water works. Water also sticks to itself, like how separate droplets combine very fast when close enough.
Nothing sticks to my breath, especially in the mornings.
how does serverless architecture work?
When you open a serverless website in your browser, it becomes a regular app.
sure, but by that rationale when i open any website in my browser it just becomes a static page served from local cache, meaning everything is serverless 99% of the time :)

Oops! It’s all fans!
It’s OnlyFans!
If only.
Ionic wind generators also exist. Cool to have a particle accelerator but not very strong and catches dust (that’s why they’re called “air purifiers”)
But it’s bladeless on the outside, and that’s what people care about.
That’s totaly worth the $300 price tag that the OG Dyson one has cost when it was new.
Edit: they still cost hundreds of dollars. You can get any other brand’s version for like $50.
I like the ones with dc motors. They are much quieter.
So are regular fans then, the blades are inside a mesh
(I thought this was going to be about the guy dressed in a toga trying to sneak two of his friends into a showing of The Odyssey by hiding them in a little Trojan horse. (Worked until the horse tipped over and the two friends fell out.))

I always thought it was a rotating, wide rubber belt. Maybe with fins. Idk
Surely that would work better. ?
And don’t call me “Shirley.”
I looked up the Dyson one and it uses a turbine rather than a fan, but it’s effectively the same concept. The spinny part is in the lower part.
I probably saw a diagram of the Dyson one at some point and that’s why I thought it worked like that.

Good luck creating one of those trendy diy air filters with a bladeless fan.
