Willis Carrier invented the AC as a byproduct. He was actually trying to dehumidify a factory that printed magazines. The print runs would get fucked up in the humid air of summer. The thing he invented to dehumidify also cooled and he wisely realized cooling was where the money was

We officially crossed into subtropical like two? Years ago? One example is that storms don’t clear out/dehumidify the air. The hot just gets wet.
when can we talk about the fact that NYC seems to have a monsoon season now

(which side note, AC's don't just cool they ALSO dehumidify so if it's 85F and crazy humid I'll just run the A/C on dry mode)
But secondarily we're just confused like you've had decades to adapt. And we don't understand why you haven't.

If you are buying an air conditioner, you do not want to buy "the most BTU's you can afford"
Measure your space and size your air conditioner appropriately. An oversized AC will turn off too quickly and not properly dehumidify the space leaving you feeling hotter than expected at a given temp.

driven to the edge by the climate of this city, I roam the streets dragging my faithful dehumidifier behind me, trying and failing to dehumidify the whole of bristol
the only consolation is that we are back in dehumifidier season, and every few days my gallant little robot delivers me a neat cube of free water

I spent the weekend cleaning out the closet so now I have a 3d printing closet. I can dehumidify a smaller space now and keep the fumes and sound more contained. It’s been a lot less distracting during work hours too.

Also if we move towards heat pumps and renewable energy, we can heat and cool spaces effectively and efficiently! Heat pumps are basically magic. (And I’ve got all of mine set to dehumidify in my flooded house right now)
Fun fact: air conditioning takes less energy than heating and no less important. The belief that it's "decadent" is puritanism.
Air conditioning is an absolutely vital life-saving technology on a swiftly-warming planet, and people who claim it's somehow more shameful to cool a home than it is to heat one are idiots.

Me looking at the damp, moldy walls of a basement: Man, I really need to dehumidify.

I have made other videos on dehumidifiers, but the gist is that if you have air conditioning and are using it, a dehumidifier should only be necessary in unconditioned or poorly conditioned spaces. If your aid conditioning can't dehumidify effectively on its own it was designed poorly.
