It's a popular way to heat homes in America. The warm air is forced through ductwork by a fan and out of registers in the floor.

Does anyone remember the CineD Mod Challenge with the goon that was incapable of discussing critical film theory and personal interpretations outside of behind-the-scenes info? They were told to pick symbols, motifs, themes or other signifieds/signifiers from the film Alien, and they bombed the challenge with an essay about Ridley Scott's intentions with the film?

I can't remember the username or find the thread.

People like porn. Goons are just honest about it.

Nope. I fuck8ng hate porn, and the vast majority of current porn is SICKENINGLY REPREHENSIBLE.

I live in America, and have this in my home but have never heard it referred to as forced air. Everyone just calls it "the heat".

How do they distinguish it from a radiator or baseboard heaters?

radiators are almost unknown in america except in certain specific spots or old homes, and you only see baseboard heaters in colder northern climates. i've only ever heard them called floor heaters but they are also very uncommon where i live. a radiator you'd just call a radiator

nearly all american homes used forced air heating and it's just called "the heat", as distinguished from "the AC" if you were expecting cold air to come from the air vents, although both hot and cold air come from the same vent

That must be regional. Here in california people understand what forced air refers to, even though it's basically ubiquitous.

In Chicago all three are common depending on the age of the building you're in, so all three are used as intended. So if it ever comes up it would be something like:

Boring person 1: What kind of heat do you have?
Boring person 2: It's an old building so we have a radiator.

But in all three cases it's just referred to as "the heat" if you're asking someone to turn it on/off.

Baseboard heaters are all over the place in Oregon, anything that’s not nice enough to have central heat/air. They fill your house with the pleasant smell of burning dust every fall.

Multiple threads got to the point they were just sharing multiple customised gifs telling him to shut up and eventually he stopped posting. Haven't seen him for awhile, I think the last time was on twitter where he was doing the same schtick to a similar response.

When I lived in Vermont, the heat was a wood stove because that state is still in the 1800s. Especially outside of Burlington.

I'm jealous of people who have a switch to turn on "the heat".

Ceiling heat?! Heat where the heat already goes? Good idea.

I don't think I've ever lived anywhere the vents weren't in the ceiling, but this is Texas, where heaters are largely unnecessary. I guess the AC works just as well, but I've got no reference point :shrug:

No idea. The two houses where I lived in Portland had vents in or near the floor like I think houses usually do?

I could maybe see it working in the far south/southwest where efficient cooling is more important than efficient heating.
