I’m not convinced. So I asked my own independent panel of experts, and they all agreed. The panel:
Two of my experts, pictured here, also agree.
So far I’ve only seen experts making the same claim and no counter arguments, so therefore I will mark this as true until proven otherwise.
To be fair, the one on the left is deaf so he did not hear anything when asked and simply agreed.
Actually experts recommend keeping it closed in the event of a fire lol
Journalists mean “capitalists” and “rich people” when they say “experts”. Journalists are just “writing what they’re told to”, which makes them complicit.
Why the fuck would rich people care about this? This place is fucking ridiculous sometimes.
If you give a pet a good home, I won’t judge you. Me personally, however; I would sooner sleep outside than keep my fuzzy kitty from curling up in the crook of my arm, placing her paws in my hand, and resting her little head on me so she purrs like crazy before we both drift off to sleep…
It doesn’t matter which side of the door she’s on, she wants it open.
we all want what we can’t have
My cat FINALLY figured out that I don’t want her on my chest to sleep. She jumps up in the middle of the night and nestles into my arm and purrs herself to sleep. It’s so cute. And I’m allergic to her. It’s worth it.
My cat is exactly like that, such a precious little cuddler…
Except that she wants to lick my face constantly. And that is not conducive to getting any kind of sleep. So she gets shut in a different room at night.
cat is just trying to prevent all the spiders from climbing into your mouth and you lock her out.
Those spiders are excellent nutrition!
How am I supposed to get proper gains without my little nighttime protein snacks?
My wife used to wake up tired some mornings and not know why, until I pointed out that the difference was whether her cat was nibbling on her shirt all night.
My cat has a grooming routine that he starts when I go to bed. So my body’s signal for sleeping is when everything goes quiet except the subtle sounds of *lick lick lick*.
Even reading this made my blood pressure go up.
I sneezed by just thinking of that :(
is this about airflow? that really is valid, people don’t get enough fresh air inside imo.
about the cats, yeah, they definitely deserve a spot next to you.
edit: i checked and yes it’s about co2 buildup. keep the air moving, open that door.
It’s a fire prevention thing to keep doors closed, if a fire breaks out when you’re asleep it really can make the difference in you surviving it. But, the cats aren’t going to let me do that, so we all go down together.
That’s what the smoke detectors are for. They are mandatory where I live.
Is there data to support this? I imagine if a fire breaks out in an apartment and I don’t wake up in time, I’m fucked anyway. Hopefully smoke detectors in all rooms will do their job.
I mean, instead of asking for information you want, you could just go look for it. Maybe clicking this link and even reading a touch won’t be too difficult? Not trying to be an ass, but it took seconds. https://www.bhg.com/sleep-with-bedroom-door-shut-11888160
Why are you on an online forum if communicating with other people is such a burden for you? lol
Are you asking for anecdotes or information? Because it would’ve taken less time for you to search than for me to search, write a comment, and post a link. Why are you on the internet if you want other people to read for you? Good on you to attack me for your laziness.
I’m with you on this one. The way they rudely asked that question, then forced you to look up the answer and post the link. It should be illegal.
And then there’s your contribution.
They weren’t asking you to search, they were asking if
youthe person they responded to knew anything off the top ofyourtheir head.I also explained my viewpoint and expected to hear what they think, i.e. tried to have a normal conversation. But we’re on the internet, so yeah…
Bro, no one was attacking here until you rolled up and attacked. You weren’t even the person they responded to. You could’ve said and done nothing and no one would have ever known or cared. Instead, you decided to cause a scene.
Quite the scene too, expecting someone to read a little in this day and age instead of skim comments online and take it as fact.
I think they were looking for a conversation. If saving time is the goal, we wouldn’t be here in the first place.
Ain’t nobody saving time here.
Bro literally asks for “data to support this”
So I guess they wanted someone to say
yeah theres data to support this, trustmebro™
And thats it
Because usually people looking for DATA would use the internet search function, NOT expect verbal responses which DO NOT constitute data
I dont understand all the idiots downvoting you because I wouldve done the same thing
You want data, search the web
You want anectdotes, talk on a forum
Its annoying when people expect to be spoonfed credible data on a forum rather than taking 5 seconds to find it themselves (and sharing it, imagine that, fucking utopic) instead of someone else spending double that time finding it and writing a comment with sources in reply (thats called spoonfeeding)
But hey here comes the airplane I guess
“Hey, you seem to know something about this, is there anything specific I can look for to learn more instead of starting from zero?”
I searched “fire safety bedroom door shut” so I don’t think they really needed any help.
They also had thoughts about it that they wanted feedback on.
It blows my mind that people will take safety advice from a random comment, question it, and expect another random comment to clarify for them, especially in a platform as small as Lemmy. It’s so alien a thought process to me that I can’t understand it, but it makes it easier to see how misinformation spreads so easily.

But that is why here in Belgium it is mandated that doors have a minimum gap for ventilation while also keeping the door closed and also outside ventilation
You could just sleep with the window open, rather than having the cat jump on your belly at 3am waking you up and scaring the hell out of you.
My window faces a busy road. Air quality is definitely way better with the window closed.
Yeah, getting a good air quality monitor has made me understand the value of open windows. The co2 levels are so much higher with the windows closed
I don’t live in a climate that supports that. My cat can come and go as she pleases. My other cat won’t come in at night because it’s not his territory.
why not both? both is good.
I just keep my window open. Unless it rains, then it’s closed.
Does it help? Normally you need to open windows on (preferably) different sides of the building, otherwise the air hardly moves. If a door closed, the movement is blocked.
Wouldn’t it be the same case if you just have the bedroom door open? Like if just the door is open with no windows open.
Not if you have a central ventilation system.
The apartment faces East and West, so as long as the kitchen window is cracked open, the air moves, not even a closed door stops it, it just travels through the small gap at the bottom. Nearly knocked me down once with how strong the gust got.
Wouldn’t you still get some airflow through convection ?
Also osmosis, regarding the CO2 concentration of the air.
Next to me would be FINE. On my face? No, thank you, sweetums.
Who are the experts? Arsonists? Doors safe lives.
Somehow you’re the only one mentioning this and yes I’ve only ever heard sleep with door closed to buy time in a fire.
Closed doors, specifically
Furry creature types with ease
Paws playing music with keys
Telling their feeders what2 do
Are they predators or is it true
If you die the beast will eat yu
Barfing up sum vry nasty goo
Barbed penis and many fleas
But I wanna pet them, please
thank you
I’m just being me as I understand God wants me to be. What am I doing? I don’t fukken know, dude. But thank you for the thanks.
never heard of God, but appreciate the poetry
A skit of three lines:
Man: I am the son of God!
Woman: That’s blasphemous!
Man: But sister, surely you know our father?
God is a unified field of consciousness that arose from the supersymmetry of the ever-present, eternal emptiness to then fold in and on Itself across eleven dimensions to form a topological matrix that acts as a monadic nodal communication system; entanglements defined by the communication process of Server, Client, Holy Internet.
oh i c.
thanks god for for all the internet
I’d love to let my cat sleep in my room. He just won’t be reasonable about it and let me sleep. So the door stays shut.
The problem ya see. Is the cat doesn’t sleep in the room…
Those experts are clearly not fire fighters. A closed bedroom door can be the difference between having time to escape and having time to be flash fried.
People living in single room apartments: Fuck me, right?!
And now the cats present, 3am zoomies ahead of a big day
Well you’re sleeping in the kitchen so you’re already fucked
I have a bitchen. It’s a bathroom kitchen toilet combo.
The bed comes down from the roof on a pulley system so, yep, I’m quite posh.
Actually, my kitchen is separate with a door and everything. I’d count it as a “real” room if it was large enough for a table.
One time I accidentally left my bedroom door opened and gone to work, come back with a slightly trashed bedroom and poop stain on my bedsheet because they found an uncharted land that day. So no, not me, i don’t have the mental energy to deal with those thing again. Plus my allergy will probably kill me.
Holy hell, take care of your cats man.
Nothing serious, just that one of my cat love to scoot their butt onto fabric surface, been to vets and doc said there’s nothing wrong with him, so i just have to deal with it. 🤷
Should we take care of him, or “take care of him”?
When it’s time to go to sleep I call my cat and he comes willingly.
I’m just too triggered by having to have my bedroom door open all the time when I lived at home.
I would let my dog in bed with me but he twitches ad barks in his sleep
These advertising companies have gone too far
