Who gets chapped lips from a sunny day? Where are you, the fucking Sahara desert?
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.
I love sunny day, but even more...
I LOVE THE RAINY NIGHT.
The best chapstick is enough water.
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.
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 the desert heat. Chapped lips aside it's my dream.
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.
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.
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.
I have this too. Some genius did not invest in window blinds on the outside.
By midday I can just open up everything and let the 32c air in because it already warmed up to that temperature.
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.
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 hate sunscreen, the only thing worse than being sweaty all day is being sweaty and oily and sticky.
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
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.
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.
There's more of a comfy-ness to being enveloped by warmth when its cold out.
"normoids" is really something.
You don't have to lie out in the sun naked from dawn to dusk without water to enjoy a sunny day.
theyre lovin the D
Y'all are a bunch of lizard people, anon gets it. The sun is literally trying to kill you.
So is oxygen, but you gotta keep breathing.
The sun at least also makes you happy.
the comments here made me smile. glad to know lemmy isn't all basement dwellers
Some of us dwell in caves.
I love sunny, snowy days. 20°C and above is just "hot" for me
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:
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.
They forgot skin cancer
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
I am the normoid. I really enjoy it. I guess I'm well equipped for the future.
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
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:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
