Unless you've got great blackout curtains, you can only ride that thang until the dawn. So... still pretty good!
Who doesn't have rolling shutters on their windows? Are they not common where you live?
Not everybody has those even where you live.
Nearly everyone though. As in, I can't recall any street with a single home without them.
I live in a building of 140 flats and nobody has shutters. Next door building, even taller, is the same. The flat I lived in before this one also had no shutters. My parents' single-family house doesn't either. I was always fascinated by shutters on windows when I stayed at a friend's house as a kid. Come to think of it, I've never had shutters on any windows on any building I've ever lived in. My in-laws' house does have shutters so there's that.
Wow, that's weird. I genuinely believe nearly every (German) home/apartment/room I've ever visited had shutters.
In my apartment complex with ~30 (?) flats I don't know whether everyone has shutters - but I do know all flats on the other side of the street have them (because I actually look at them in the evening) and my nearest neighbors considering I can clearly hear multiple one's going down in the evening/up in the morning.
Maybe it's a regional thing? I live in the South and shutters are everywhere.
Just so you know, feddit.org is a German instance, so your interlocutor is probably German as well.
And the shutters are certainly not common outside of Germany. I've not had them at any place I've lived in Australia, Korea, or Vietnam. Same with that famous German double-opening window. It's fantastic, and the rest of the world should adopt them, but should does not mean has.
Technically feddit.org is a German speaking instance - it's operated/owned/managed in Austria.
I wouldn't have been too surprised if having rolling shutters was only uncommon in other countries. But the fact they aren't ubiquitous in Germany was a genuine surprise. It's as if there were regions without those windows you mentioned - which do exist apparently in the North according to Wikipedia.
Canadian, never seen those except for commercial storefronts. Not once have I seen those on residential buildings.
I’ve seen these covering store fronts in some cities. However, they’re only on the first floor and are usually covered in graffiti. Everywhere else? Maybe, maybe in some beach-front properties, but that’s it.
The vast majority of homes and apartments I’ve lived around (northeastern US) do not have rolling shutters. If there are any shutters at all, they are the kind that goes alongside windows, and are likely to be purely decorative. Older properties may have shutters that were originally designed to close, but most people treat those decoratively too.
Over here - at least in Southern Germany - rolling shutters are the norm. The main reason I imagine is improving energy efficiency because heating is expensive. This is basically what your average multi-story apartment building looks like:
Basically all windows have rolling shutters. The same applies to your average single family home. You might have to zoom in to see the rolling shutters in their opened position:
I think it is more sun protection in the summer, plus they are quite useful for, well, blocking out lights and noise at night. Modern windows are pretty damn energy efficient, and old shutters were drafty as hell.

Do you still luften?
Its a european thing afaik
no
Not me. Where I live it's more common to have window blinds, which are okay, but still let a pretty good amount of light in when fully closed
Well, how much light does it take to kill a vampire? A single photon? And what kind of vampire is it, bc for example Bram Stoker's Dracula was ok with being outside in daylight.
I couldn't tell you how much light it takes to kill a vampire, but the amount of light coming through my blinds would probably do it

I mean, if we are going with that, than you're still gonna run into, at some point, the problem of maintaining uh... well, adequate bloodflow/pressure to the disco stick.
So... sure, sure, you can keep going, assuming you can handle them augmenting their blood flow with your own.
At that point this begins to remind me of the mouse with the electrode hooked up to the pleasure center of its brain, just keeps pushing the button until it starves to death.
Sooo... should you just fully donate your own entire blood supply....well, what are vampire rules on the consentability of corpses?
Can they enter a room or home with no specific owner?
... I think they can.
For more pain you can do this in sunlight on the roof

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.
