@Railcar8095 With respect to vaccines and autism, there is a correlation but as the old saying goes casuality is not causality until it is. In my view it warrants research. And I've got no doubt that the number of vaccines they are giving toddlers and children these days is overloading their immune systems.
I would mock you, but nothing I saw would make you look more foolish than your own words.

Read again my previous comment, then turn of the phone/computer and go hiking. Just disconnect for a bit.

My wife can spend all day in the sun and turn a nice shade of brown.
Not me. There is no "tan" for me. It's either pasty white or lobster with no middle ground whatsoever.

@Railcar8095 I have a better idea I will just put you on ignore. -
The British are the Americans of Europe, so that makes sense.

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

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

In the US it's cheap but unregulated
It’s the exact opposite actually.
US sunscreen is way worse than sunscreen in other parts of the world like the EU. It doesn’t block the harmful radiation as well. The reason is that it’s more strictly regulated in the US. IIRC it’s not considered a cosmetic product but instead it’s a medical product.
As such it’s subject to much stricter regulation and requires much more (expensive) testing before being allowed on the market. Due to this it’s considered too expensive to introduce the newer, more advanced sunscreen products in the US so you’re stuck with the older, crappier sunscreen.
I'm not sure I'd call US sunscreens way worse (they are still very effective at blocking UVB, just not UVA as effectively), but there are definitely better options abroad. There definitely aren't many options; that's part of why Hawaii banning two common sunscreen ingredients for marine toxicity reasons was such a big deal.

Incredibly, my legs somehow never get burnt

I mean of course, I'm saying even adding more periodically. Just feels like always some gets through
Yeah, my experience jibes with that too. I wear sunscreen everyday and I feel like I'm pretty conscientious but I end up getting red by the end of the day often. The problem with it, i find, is that it's time consuming to do one's exposed skin properly or it involves another person. I'm either working or recreating outside so I know I miss applications due to impatience and inattention. I switched to pants, hats, and long sleeves for outdoor living the past decade or so and it's a huge improvement. Just sweatier.

In New Zealand the sun feels like it's stabbing you after 10min in summer. I can feel my skin prickling like tiny fire ants.It doesn't take long to burn here. serious respect for the sun and upper atmosphere
there's a hole in my ozone dear lyza, dear lyza..
Its not the ozon hole (well its a little bit the fault of the ozon hole) but its because due to the eleptical orbit of the earth around the sun the southern hemisphere is closer to the sun in summer than the north hemisphere.

Mate. I'm a ginger living in New Zealand. Sunburn is an inevitability.
Me too. Get burnt from a sunny day at the movies

In the city of Utrecht NL they have free sunblock stations spread around the city. It shows the temp and UV rating. But buying it in store is crazy expensive and often the quality is poor. Some fancy tiny spray bottles go up to 12 euros, only good for 3 to 4 uses. wtf. Imagine being ginger, there's a ginger tax called sunblock.
As a ginger- the petrol money to go shop in Germany at DM or Rossmann is cheaper than the ginger tax here.

@[email protected] If you sit at a magnesium fire, it burns at 3300K, which is hot enough to produce sizeable ultraviolet rays. So you can get your sunburn from that, damaging the DNA in whatever of your remaining cells have not been melted away by heat.

I would wear suncream more often, but:
- 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.
- 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!

The heat could dry out your skin, which, if I'm not mistaken, is essentially what a burn is. However, as the other person noted, a sunburn is damage from radiation, not heat. So I think you could stretch the common definition of a burn to call heat induced dry skin a burn but calling it a sunburn would not be accurate.
Thanks. I completely forgot that the standard suntan or sunburn is caused by UV rays. A fireplace doesn't create UV rays.
