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

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Because the warmth from the sun feels wonderful on my skin. It's energizing and uplifting.
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.
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.
No particular hat obsession that I'm aware of. Think you just knew a weirdo.
Why does Niue have a feddit
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)
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.
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
You mean 24-28C so you don't get sick from low temperature?
No.
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
10-15 and I might put on longer trousers and a light jacket or sweater/hoodie when cycling
I ride my bike at 40C 🤣
I feel sorry for you, that sounds miserable
For sure beats riding it at under 20C.
Hell nah 😂
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!
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.
Been living in the desert for 6 years now, chap stick and lotion is a small price to pay for no swamp ass.
The Cavetrollmode is strong in this anon.
Skill issue
Drink water with electrolytes, wear sun protective clothing. Enjoy sunny days in spite of it being sunny.
Anon understands at most four, maaaybe five words of your sentence. The fewer the letters, the better. “With, sun, in, of, and it”, and even that is a legitimate struggle.
Unless its crazy hot outside you shouldn't be feeling that way.
