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.

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.

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 13 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

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.

Y'all are a bunch of lizard people, anon gets it. The sun is literally trying to kill you.

Not anymore, there's a blanket

[-] DarkenLM@kbin.earth 3 points 8 months ago

Solar Flares: Fuck everything in that general direction and fuck your blanket in particular as well.

[-] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 17 points 8 months ago

So is oxygen, but you gotta keep breathing.

The sun at least also makes you happy.

[-] twoface@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Dihydrogen monoxide also tries to kill you

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."

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 48 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

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.

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.

[-] babybus@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I love wearing 10kg of clothes just to stay warm while I'm outside

[-] boletus@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago

I literally do. Layers are so comfortable and safe feeling

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

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.

Those people can speak for themselves. I like getting plastered then walking around shirtless in below freezing temps. Makes me feel alive.

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

I swear shorts and t-shirt until about 5 degrees C, love it.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Same, but I hate cold weather. It's not because I'm uncomfortable, it's because I hate all the things associated with cold weather:

  • shoveling snow
  • icy roads
  • so many ads (Black Friday + Christmas)

The temperature itself is fine, and sometimes I'll even shovel snow in shorts. It's everything else that pisses me off.

[-] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 30 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

All of those things can be avoided by following Australia's public health messaging that all kids have learnt since the early 90s. It started as Slip, slop, slap.

It's now:

  • Slip (slip on a shirt i.e. Cover your skin in the sun)
  • Slop (slop on sunscreen and make sure you reapply)
  • Slap (slap on a hat, ideally a wide brimmed sunhat)
  • Seek (seek shade - you shouldn't spend too long in direct sun)
  • Slide (slide on some sunnies - protect your eyes).

While the country does periodically catch on fire over here, I love our summers. But to enjoy them, you basically have to remember that you're made of meat and if left under the grill in the sky, you will cook.

If you're morbidly obese I can understand summer being very uncomfortable. But for most people, taking simple steps can make even a 40°c day comfortable.

[-] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 11 points 8 months ago

Thanks for the advice but still, 40°c is a long way above what I'm confy with. Somewhere around 30°c I'd preferably just lie down and sleep till the summer is over. Also, you guys really love your hats, do you? I know a Australian guy who was constantly wearing his sunhat year around (yes, even when it's dark outside 90% of the time) for multiple years after moving to Sweden.

[-] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago

No particular hat obsession that I'm aware of. Think you just knew a weirdo.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

The trick is to wear one layer that's gonna absorb the sweat and another layer for looking good. Bamboo fibre wifebeater with colourful short sleeve shirts got me through 45+ °C 90% h. no bother.

I'm writing this because I started with just the shirt, and two layers seems counter intuitive, but it's actually a lot more comfortable and better looking (fewer sweat stains)

Chapped lips in the summer? I've only ever gotten chapped lips in winter.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Just live in the Mountain West - Colorado, Arizona, Utah. The air is so dry it actively mummifies you every day of the year.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Eh, I live in Utah and I also only get chapped lips in the winter. It sucked the first year when I moved here, but my body adapted.

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I love the desert heat. Chapped lips aside it's my dream.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I think I might prefer a dry heat even if that's what would chap my lips. I sure as hell know I hate humid heat. 100+ heat with 80%+ humidity doesn't even let you sweat do what it's intended to do!

partly cloudy weather best weather

[-] mayo@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

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.

I love sunny, snowy days. 20°C and above is just "hot" for me

[-] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

The Cavetrollmode is strong in this anon.

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago

You don't have to lie out in the sun naked from dawn to dusk without water to enjoy a sunny day.

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Because the warmth from the sun feels wonderful on my skin. It's energizing and uplifting.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I am the normoid. I really enjoy it. I guess I'm well equipped for the future.

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Unless its crazy hot outside you shouldn't be feeling that way.

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

They forgot skin cancer

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I love all this and the fact that exposure to the sun can make my autoimmune disease worse and can actually do permanent damage to organs and could kill me if I get burnt bad enough. Got the diagnosis right after I got back into riding horses. -_-
