This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

It's annoying that they used a stupid ai generated diagram for how the bed works which is simply WRONG.
The illustration from the article:
click to see ai slop
The duct under the bed doesn't go anywhere, it's not connected to the chimney either.
With a quick 2 second search I could find very basic but clear diagrams which shows how actually this bed works, the search term was "kang bed diagram":
Another drawing:
People forgot how to think and search? Or the author doesn't know how these beds work?
I assume the author is a trained architect he should know how to draw, and recreating a diagram like this in a CAD program is like a couple of minutes work, if he can't use other people's work for some reason.
No no, it's very common to have ducts to nowhere and a tiny table on top of your bed.
The diagram is accurate because the last arrow turns around. Duh
