I love sunny day, but even more...

I LOVE THE RAINY NIGHT.

Who gets chapped lips from a sunny day? Where are you, the fucking Sahara desert?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

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.

The best chapstick is enough water.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours 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).

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 2 points 14 hours 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.

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

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

I hate sunscreen, the only thing worse than being sweaty all day is being sweaty and oily and sticky.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

OP thinks sunny days are too hard. I have no idea how he survives rainy days. A bit of snow would kill him instantly.

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.

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."

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 3 points 13 hours 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.

[–] skulkingaround 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] imaqtpie 1 points 7 hours ago

Ah, a fellow man of culture.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours 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.
