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.
I am the normoid. I really enjoy it. I guess I'm well equipped for the future.
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 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."
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.
Yeah, but that's just a mindset. You can turn that mindset on in the Florida summers too. When you get in your car and it's an oven until the AC cools it you just pretend you're in a sauna, breathing that hot air from the coals. You're sweating while you're doing a job/project, you just pretend it's like hot yoga.
A hot tub feels amazing. The heat can too when you decide it does. When you finally give into the heat and decide you're just gonna be sweaty today, it feels great.
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 have the opposite problem, when it gets past a certain coldness I can't warm up without an external heat source. Hot weather I can be cool IF I am in the shade with a breeze, grew up without AC in Florida so probably just adapted.
School kids here do have to do heat danger videos for athletics though, for some ungodly reason they do practices in the afternoons not before school and kids were dropping in the heat. It is dangerous like extreme cold is, I don't go do yardwork when it's the top of a summer day.
Was just saying that if people can say they "love the cold" because they like being warm, it's no sillier to say you like the heat because you like cooling off.
I love wearing 10kg of clothes just to stay warm while I'm outside
I literally do. Layers are so comfortable and safe feeling
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.
So is oxygen
Disingenuous nonsense. It's basically impossible to encounter a harmful concentration of oxygen in day to day life, while harmful amounts of sunlight are commonplace.
A lack of sunlight also doesn't kill you in less than ten minutes.
I would be much happier without it.
Dihydrogen monoxide also tries to kill you
The Cavetrollmode is strong in this anon.
anon rawdogs sunlight, blames society

> No really, what is water
> Do you even walk bro
I FUCKING LOVE PUTTING THE STINK GOOP ALL OVER MY BODY EVERY 15 MINUTES AND HAVING AN UNCOMFORTABLE CRUSTY CARAPACE SO I DON'T ACQUIRE CRAB DISEASE
are you walking around shirtless everywhere?
It's hot bro
Get a sun shirt, homie. Reflects the sun off your skin so you're cooler, plus you don't have to wear sunscreen.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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
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
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.
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.
