Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I actually enjoy humidity (lemmy.world)

I am currently in North Carolina and while I will acknowledge it is hot, and the humidity doesn't help, it isn't particularly irritating. It's like a hug from the air. I've been to New Orleans at the end of summer when it's supposedly bad but I enjoyed it. It almost makes the heat a little bit more bearable because there is something to work with?

Florida checking in: it's good for your skin! I don't like getting sweaty in the 10seconds it takes to walk to my truck, but i prefer it over everything else.

Do you get sunburns in Florida, or does the sweaty humidity prevent it?

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

Can confirm humidity doesn't help. Salt water drying on your skin can also make it worse, just a fun fact, so rinse off as often as you can when leaving the water to help prevent it.

Also these people are insane. I'll take a dry heat over humidity I can't hardly breathe through any day. Sweat exists for a reason, humidity won't let you benefit from it.

Have been badly burned in Florida when the humidity was high, can confirm.
