    What is death by fan supposed to mean? Like how would you die from a fan?

      Many people believe that death by fan sucks but really, it blows.

          If the hydrogen and oxygen get redistributed in the wrong way, the room will fill with water and you drown.

          That’s basically what they think, yes. That it interrupts the flow of the air, as if capillary action was needed to pull air into your lungs. I’m not sure how the myth started but at one point they were selling fans with special guards or something to protect against the imaginary risk.

          Of course, I might be wrong - I read about this on the internet.

      I used to work in a real sweatbox of a factory so we had huge fans running all day. It was deceptive because you’d normally be drenched in sweat but the fans prevented it. So you’d drink a gallon of water and take maybe one brown ass dehydrated piss. I could see something like that being blamed on a fan. Just heat exhaustion or dehydration
