...you only get the funds if, when you go to bed every night of the previous week, you do so enclosed in a room with the doors and windows closed, with one standing electric fan blowing at you (oscillating action, the speed set to 4 out of a possible 6).

Do you chance it? For how long?

Basically (I think) just saying that every night when you go to bed, you have to have the fan like that. If you miss a day, you don't get the following week's payment.

So basically close my bedroom door for 10K a week? Uh ok. Sure. I prefer my ceiling fan but whatever. I can change to a standing fan for 10K a week.

This scenario assumes that you possess normal sleeping habits, and sleep roughly every day. When you do so, you will sleep in this specified room. You're paid like a paycheck at your job; if you do not sleep in this room every time you go to sleep during the previous week, you will not receive the funds for that week.

You cannot, for example, fall asleep* on your couch. You must sleep in this room to receive your funds.

*exceptions are made for when you are just, you know, resting your eyes. You weren't asleep, you were just talking. It's fine.

what is this fan myth


South Korea has a deeply ingrained superstitious belief, that leaving a fan on in a closed room can kill you, because it changes the chemical distribution of the air (it doesn't), which causes oxygen deprivation and carbon dioxide intoxication.

It is so deep in their collective that even their news has reported cases of death by fan.

being an electric fan in an enclosed setting, the fan will strip the oxygen out of the air, replacing it only with the carbon monoxide you exhale. Every time you go to bed, you risk being asphyxiated by your greed as you challenge the gods to rip away your mortal breath.

I actually dont sleep with a fan anymore at home, because Ive come to realize it makes my throat hurt in the morning. But when I stay with some family I use a floor fan due to lack of A/C.

That said, its easy money. I can stop and start at will and make the money. Do it for a week, stop for a week, rinse and repeat. If I asphyxiate in my sleep, thats a peaceful way to go.

First you breath out CARBON DIOXIDE not Monoxide.

Second I have never read so much bullshit in my life. If it was the case I would have died decades ago as I need my desk fan to keep myself cool.

Ok it sounds like there is no stipulation saying this ends the week you fail to meet the requirement. So I just have to endure these conditions for a week every time I need another 10k. If I did that once a month Id still be a lot better off than I am now.

Only scenario I can think of is, perhaps decades ago, someone (or more than one person) died in their sleep from either suffocation or other natural causes or carbon monoxide poisoning and there was a running fan on in the room and whomever stupidly came to the conclusion that the fan was the cause of it.

However, I've also read that it could have possibly been a way to keep people from using up more electricity during the night, but even that sounds really dumb.
