You don’t have to lie out in the sun naked from dawn to dusk without water to enjoy a sunny day.
Chapped lips is in the winter
Chapped lips in the summer? I’ve only ever gotten chapped lips in winter.
Just live in the Mountain West - Colorado, Arizona, Utah. The air is so dry it actively mummifies you every day of the year.
They forgot skin cancer
“normoids” is really something.
I love sunny, snowy days. 20°C and above is just “hot” for me
the comments here made me smile. glad to know lemmy isn’t all basement dwellers
Some of us dwell in caves.
I love WEARING SUNGLASSES.
I love WEARING A HAT.
I love DRINKING WATER.
I Love WEARING SUNBLOCK.
Jesus christ dude, if you get yourself into some kind of shape that isn’t round, you aren’t going to have these problems.
OP thinks sunny days are too hard. I have no idea how he survives rainy days. A bit of snow would kill him instantly.
I only disagree with the drinking water one to be honest. The others I find legitimately annoying. I still wear sunscreen, but only because sunburn is even worse
partly cloudy weather best weather
Bri’in moment 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧☁️☕🔪
In the fall we usually get a few hours of rain and then it clears away to cloud or sun and that’s my favourite weather.
Because the warmth from the sun feels wonderful on my skin. It’s energizing and uplifting.
I am the normoid. I really enjoy it. I guess I’m well equipped for the future.
Meanwhile, people who say they love cold weather:
“I like sweaters, coats and boots, bundling up, sitting inside by a fire with hot cocoa.”. Really sounds like they enjoy being warm, not cold after all.
So maybe “I like air conditioning, watching the sun from inside, the feeling of coming in out of the heat in the summer, a refreshing cold shower in the morning, being able to wear fashionable sunglasses and hats.”
I swear shorts and t-shirt until about 5 degrees C, love it.
Those people can speak for themselves. I like getting plastered then walking around shirtless in below freezing temps. Makes me feel alive.
Yeah, but I’m too poor for AC so the summer is all suffering. Climate change is making it worse and worse and I hate the whole world more and more.
Solutions to being too cold - put on more layers, get a hot beverage, do some light exercise
Solutions to being too hot - get to some AC, splash water on yourself, take off layers
The problem is that the first set of solutions is generally more accessible and work-friendly. I can’t take off my shirt on a site visit for work (or even wear shorts, and being in damp sweaty clothes is miserable compared to being chilly and needing to warm up.
I prefer being outside in cold weather. If I had my druthers I’d keep my house at 60 degrees in the winter and bundle up. I’ve lived in a house where I could wake up and see my breath in my own bedroom on especially cold days and it was glorious.
Ha! Well as much as I hate the cold, I hate the heater even more. Resist turning it on until it’s really too cold in long sleeves and a sweater. Air conditioner we keep at 78F, and it helps to keep the house from mold/mildew, improves air quality. Heater dries everything out and feels awful. We do set the heater to 60F, and don’t run it often.
I like feeling the cold around me while protecting my vitals from it.
As I’m sure you’ve heard and maybe even contemplated, I can generally warm myself up. It’s a lot harder to cool myself down, at least past a certain point.
I have the opposite problem, when it gets past a certain coldness I can’t warm up without an external heat source. Hot weather I can be cool IF I am in the shade with a breeze, grew up without AC in Florida so probably just adapted.
School kids here do have to do heat danger videos for athletics though, for some ungodly reason they do practices in the afternoons not before school and kids were dropping in the heat. It is dangerous like extreme cold is, I don’t go do yardwork when it’s the top of a summer day.
Was just saying that if people can say they “love the cold” because they like being warm, it’s no sillier to say you like the heat because you like cooling off.
There’s more of a comfy-ness to being enveloped by warmth when its cold out.
Yeah, but that’s just a mindset. You can turn that mindset on in the Florida summers too. When you get in your car and it’s an oven until the AC cools it you just pretend you’re in a sauna, breathing that hot air from the coals. You’re sweating while you’re doing a job/project, you just pretend it’s like hot yoga.
A hot tub feels amazing. The heat can too when you decide it does. When you finally give into the heat and decide you’re just gonna be sweaty today, it feels great.
I love wearing 10kg of clothes just to stay warm while I’m outside
I literally do. Layers are so comfortable and safe feeling
anon rawdogs sunlight, blames society
> Doesn’t know about sunglasses
> Doesn’t know about sunscreen
> What even is water
> Acclimated to climate controlled rooms
> No really, what is water
> Do you even walk bro
As someone who wears sun hoodies to avoid negative effects, I respect the evils of the sun.
That being said, people in the US need to learn acclimation. It does not need to be 15 degrees colder inside. In 2 weeks your body normalizes.
As someone who does not live in a climate controlled home but occasionally stays with people who do, I wholly disagree. I love being able to breathe and think rather than having to be in a place that’s just 7-10°F colder because of a lot of effort airing at the right times.
I FUCKING LOVE PUTTING THE STINK GOOP ALL OVER MY BODY EVERY 15 MINUTES AND HAVING AN UNCOMFORTABLE CRUSTY CARAPACE SO I DON’T ACQUIRE CRAB DISEASE
YOU JUST NEED FANCIER STINK GOOP
are you walking around shirtless everywhere?
It’s hot bro
cannot relate, haven’t taken off a hoodie since 2018
you will be boiled in your own juices by the fire gods
And I will be a damn fine meal
Get a sun shirt, homie. Reflects the sun off your skin so you’re cooler, plus you don’t have to wear sunscreen.
To be fair, exposing yourself to the sun is unsafe. During summer the rule is: Don’t go out into the sun. If you have to go into the sun, cover yourself with clothes. If you can’t cover yourself with clothes, wear sunscreen. And limit the sun exposure to an absolute minimum. There is no safe tan.
But how else will I resemble a leather couch in my 40s?
For any good farm you have to prep, vitamin D farm is no exception.
The basic two-step human respiratory process completely baffles anon. He regularly forgets whether he should inhale or exhale. Anon is well known for tripping over stray dust particles.
Y’all are a bunch of lizard people, anon gets it. The sun is literally trying to kill you.
The sun is a deadly lazer
Not anymore, there’s a blanket
Solar Flares: Fuck everything in that general direction and fuck your blanket in particular as well.
So is oxygen, but you gotta keep breathing.
The sun at least also makes you happy.
So is oxygen
Disingenuous nonsense. It’s basically impossible to encounter a harmful concentration of oxygen in day to day life, while harmful amounts of sunlight are commonplace.
A lack of sunlight also doesn’t kill you in less than ten minutes.
I’m talking about ROS, which you can’t overdose on in the course of a day, but which are damaging your DNA and therefore cause cancer.
Why are you so hostile?
I would be much happier without it.
Dihydrogen monoxide also tries to kill you
