    I used to work at a zoo. When you introduce a new animal to an exhibit, you soap the window so they don’t hurt themselves in their confusion. Just… Take a bar of soap and fog up the window with it.

    Probably smells a lot better too.

      I’d guess this would be significantly cheaper too.

      window binds still let the light into the house where the energy then turns to heat.

      Heat-reducing window-tint on the other hand is pretty easy to install.

      honestly, on the outside, the yoghurt probably isn’t a particularly durable layer (i.e. going away after the first rain,) and probably gets to smelling funky. On the inside, it’s probably going to also smell funky.

          With a title that good I will actively avoid reading it and make my own explanation. Much funnier.
