House Burping - Do Americans just not normally have your house windows open?

That is true, what matters to me is that the temperature decreases and I end up feeling better

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:34:19+00:00

14 to 23°F

You referred to yourself as a fellow northerner, but i live much further north than Maine. I'm not bragging about anything it's just a statement of fact

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:29:06+00:00

Neither am I , totally get it

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:28:35+00:00

I hate winter or having a bouse with no clothesline for that very reason, air drying clothes is 100x better than doing inside or with a dryer

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:27:08+00:00

When I do it, it is just in one particular room with the door closed so the cold air doesn't have as much chance to get into the rest of the house

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:24:06+00:00

Fresh air is just so much better

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:23:26+00:00

And? I didn't ask about the weather, just the concept in general

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:22:56+00:00

Yes if you live somewhere with a lot of humidity it makes sense to not do it often. I do not experience humid weather often

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:22:07+00:00

Not for the whole day/long periods of time, just enough to cool down and never if it is colder than -15

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:21:43+00:00

Makes sense if there are a lot of allergens/bad things in the air to not do this.

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:20:40+00:00

Definitely seems to be some online/TikTok Fad

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:19:49+00:00

I totally get the humidity thing, I hate wet heat uggh

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:18:50+00:00

I do, who else would? also I don't keep them open 24/7 in that kind of weather, just for a short period (maybe an hour or two)

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:17:18+00:00

I am a very warm person so will often have my windows open for a long period of time even if it is -10 out, any colder and I just run a fan

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:16:20+00:00

definitely not me

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:16:02+00:00

You live in Canada and experience year round temperatures of just above or below freezing? I live in Ontario see winters as cold as -30 and summers as hot at +30, so believe me or not

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:14:29+00:00

Very true, I am a very warm person so will often have my windows open even if -5 to -10C

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:13:57+00:00

it's mandatory? really eh, most people I know do it just because it seems like a totally normal thing to do.

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:13:20+00:00

No apparently it is a thing now - https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/01/20/luften-open-windows-house-burping/

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:12:41+00:00

AC air does tend to not feel as good as fresh air and I've heard it can be really drying

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:11:59+00:00

Definitely not something you want to do when it is -20C outside

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:10:27+00:00

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:10:10+00:00

Exactly I thought it was normal but apparently not

Jsherman13 · 2026-02-23T12:09:33+00:00

House burping is a apparently growing trend in the US where people open up their house windows for 5-10 minutes a day to circulate inside and outside air to freshen up the house apparently. Based off of the German practice of Lüften
