It's actually irritating to me that the sun is bombarding us with ionizing radiation

(I know, not the same intensity) but think about the amount of precautions we take before turning on a UV lamp. Or before turning on a very bright LED which you are not supposed to look directly at. Well, neither you should look directly at the sun, but you get the idea

In a perspective, sun is so radioactive it can even decay paint and plastic! It can literally cook you alive and make your skin fall in pieces. This just seems usual to us because we were born with it, people would freak the hell out if a medical procedure had the same side effects

Look, I can make a right wing campaign out of this! BAN THE SUN SAVE YOUR KIDS FROM 800T (Terahertz) RADIATION

On the other hand, what bullshit is it that my stupid human body can't survive being outdoors without medicinal cream. My ancestors would be ashamed.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago (7 children)

Your ancestors had melanin production to fit their sun exposure and seldom lived past 40

Your ancestors didn't shave

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I don't either, but my nose isn't hairy and it would burn to a crisp outdoors.

The worst is when is a cloudy Summer day and you're like there's no sun mf, no need to sunscreen! But you still get burned the fuck out.

I used to have that problem. I switched to 30 spf and don't get burned anymore. I can't really explain it, but my theory is that 50+ is marketing BS and doesn't actually do anything. Or it could be that Banana Boat brand just really sucks and Hawaiian is more like lotion so it actually stays on my skin and also moisturizes, which probably helps because dry skin = gonna get burned.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Get 100 spf, I've never even tanned on that shit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (7 children)

The difference between SPF 60 and 100 is like 1.1% better UV blocking, anything over SPF 50 is in a practical sense nearly useless.

For instance SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays, is it worth paying more and slathering more potentially harmful (to the environment) compounds on your skin for 98% blocking? I think not.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

what if your skin has a hit point system and that 1% difference is the breaking point of sunburn

This is my exact situation right now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I get a little pink from being outside for like ~20 minutes. That's not really hubris lol.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Not wearing sunscreen and getting a sunburn is a psyop to get men to buy more aloe vera.

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

Which, btw, might feel kind of nice, but you'll still get skin cancer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You got to give props to the people who convinced idiots that sunscreen causes cancer.

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

I hadn't heard that one. Somehow I'm not surprised though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah... The number of times I've heard something along the lines of "the sunscreen is worse for you than the sunburn" is too many.

I would wear suncream more often, but:

  1. I'm allergic to something in most brands of suncream so if I run out I'm having to deal with rashes all over where I used it.
  2. I hate how it makes me feel slimy after using it

There's this Loreal suncream spray I like that I can't seem to find that feels like water and when it's dry, it doesn't feel like you have suncream on. It's perfect for me! I'm not allergic to it either so I can actually go in the sun without turning red and blotchy!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, and it’s also def NOT cheap.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

that feels like water and when it's dry,

What does water feel like when it's dry?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Key word being "and".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (4 children)

New question for the "water isn't wet" fools unlocked.

only one way to find out

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

And then theres me who does not go outside that often, never uses suncream and doesnt get a sunburn when I decide to go outside for longer times.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pour one out for the back of my calves. Every summer I forget.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Incredibly, my legs somehow never get burnt

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Same until I got a bicycle

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it's cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared
