theyre lovin the D
The best chapstick is enough water.
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).
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. -_-

Lmao. I'm considering doing a Dullahan costume next year for Halloween and using one of the horses for it lol
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.
I love the desert heat. Chapped lips aside it's my dream.
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.
You don't have to lie out in the sun naked from dawn to dusk without water to enjoy a sunny day.
"normoids" is really something.
They forgot skin cancer
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.
I hate sunscreen, the only thing worse than being sweaty all day is being sweaty and oily and sticky.
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
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.
Chapped lips is in the winter
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.
anon rawdogs sunlight, blames society

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.
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.
Yeah, idk what that guy is about, few months ago the outside temp was like 32°C and, because my apartment has crap insulation, the inside temp was either equal or higher. That was not fun and didn't help with going outside at all.
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 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 swear shorts and t-shirt until about 5 degrees C, love it.
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.
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.
Those people can speak for themselves. I like getting plastered then walking around shirtless in below freezing temps. Makes me feel alive.
Ah, a fellow man of culture.
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.
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.
There's more of a comfy-ness to being enveloped by warmth when its cold out.
Y'all are a bunch of lizard people, anon gets it. The sun is literally trying to kill you.
I am the normoid. I really enjoy it. I guess I'm well equipped for the future.
Because the warmth from the sun feels wonderful on my skin. It's energizing and uplifting.
