No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Likely doesn’t matter. Like. At all.
Ac is likely chilled to a given temperature regardless of what the final temp is called for.
The air is cooled by blowing it over a radiator on the cold side of the AC’s compressor, the radiator then absorbs heat from the air (putting it into the coolant.)
As long as you’re not putting more heat into the coolant than the chiller can extract, it’s only going to remove so much heat- more if it’s slower, because it’s in more time, it then it’s spread across less air, if that makes sense.
Regardless, the way temperature is controlled is by mixing it with additional ambient-temp air. (Either cabin air or outside air.)
So technically, it would be most “effecient” to have full cold, but (as already said,) the ac system is effecient enough it basically doesn’t matter.
Going the other way doesn’t matter at all because it uses waste heat from the engine in a bypass loop. That said, if you have a cold car you’ll slow down the engine warming up by turning on the heat. (You can see this when it’s very cold by warming up the engine and watching the temp gauge when you turn on the air.)
EVs are a bit different- heating from cold start is done with electric heaters. Once the car is moving and the motors are hot, they typically use waste heat from there.
I assume there’s little difference between ice and ev in cooling,
