The sun is a deadly lazer

So is oxygen, but you gotta keep breathing.
The sun at least also makes you happy.

Dihydrogen monoxide also tries to kill you
vithigar@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
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.
Ziglin@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I would be much happier without it.
RBWells@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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 6 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 6 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.
Default_Defect@midwest.social 6 months ago
There’s more of a comfy-ness to being enveloped by warmth when its cold out.
ChexMax@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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 6 months ago
I love wearing 10kg of clothes just to stay warm outside
boletus@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I literally do. Layers are so comfortable and safe feeling
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 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 and it was glorious.
RBWells@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 months ago
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.
RBWells@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yeah I grew up before there was A/C all over, even in school didn’t have it until I was 12, and as bad as heat with no air conditioning is, it’s not as deadly as freezing weather with no heat. What do the homeless people do in cold places, do they just die in the winter? There is no season here where going outside in regular clothes would kill you, at least. Uncomfortable, sure.
But again, I think it’s some epigenetic adaptation, I really do run cool, and now my kids do too.
skulkingaround@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Those people can speak for themselves. I like getting plastered then walking around shirtless in below freezing temps. Makes me feel alive.
imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago

coaxil@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I swear shorts and t-shirt until about 5 degrees C, love it.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 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.
HelixDab2@lemm.ee 6 months ago
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.
dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 6 months ago
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
HelixDab2@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Doesn’t bother me; it’s 2 minutes to spray it on, and then re-apply every hour that I’m outside. As long as I’m wearing a hat to shade my face, I don’t have to worry about putting any on my face, and then sweating it into my eyes.
Doing hard manual labor in the mid-day sun at the height of summer though? That’s def. unpleasant as fuck. I can do 2-5 hours, and then I’m just done for the day. I don’t know how some people can do that for eight hours a day, day in and day out.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 months ago
OP thinks sunny days are too hard. I have no idea how he survives rainy days. A blizzard would kill him instantly.
DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
I hate sunscreen, the only thing worse than being sweaty all day is being sweaty and oily and sticky.
boogetyboo@aussie.zone 6 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 t-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 6 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 6 months ago
No particular hat obsession that I’m aware of. Think you just knew a weirdo.
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 6 months ago
Why does Niue have a feddit
fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 6 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)
LwL@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Granted I think my heat intoletance is abnormal and when I get a doctor that doesn’t dismiss it out of hand I want to see if there’s a reason, but simply sitting in my chair at my pc in 22°C in t shirt and shorts is uncomfortably warm for me. 40 is just awful. Then again I barely notice a difference for anything above ~28, it’s all horrible.
Leviathan@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Chapped lips in the summer? I’ve only ever gotten chapped lips in winter.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Just live in the Mountain West. The air is so dry it actively mummifies you every day of the year.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 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 6 months ago
I love the desert heat. Chapped lips aside it’s my dream.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 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+ weather with 80%+ humidity doesn’t even let you sweat do what it’s intended to do!
three@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Been living in the desert for 6 years now, chap stick and lotion is a small price to pay for no swamp ass.
NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 months ago
There is no hell quite like 100/100.
The air is hot water. You are hot water. There is no relief. You don’t even want to breathe.
Humidity sucks.

I love sunny days when it’s reasonable temperature outside, between 15-20°C when you can do sports with t-shirt and shorts without getting uncomfortably hot
banghida@lemm.ee 6 months ago
You mean 24-28C so you don’t get sick from low temperature?
fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
No.
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
24-28°C is tad bit too much but doable. We had bunch of 28ish days this summer and it was quite miserable especially after climbs on mountain bike.
15-20°C is just around where you can wear a sweater when just chilling around, and drop it when doing sports

Life in a northern climate at this time of year, my dude. Already had to bust out the chapstick from how dry it’s been.

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

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. -_-
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I nearly died from being out in the Sun too long, and yet as an adult I insist on lying out on the beach like a chicken leg on a grill (with water this time at least).

state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months ago
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 6 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 6 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.
