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.

WTF are those prices. I'd start looking into importing from abroad ...

I buy the store brand from the local supermarket. €2,99 for a 250 ml bottle of SPF 30 and it works great. I never get sunburn, even during multi hour bike rides in the blazing sun.

In the US it's cheap but unregulated and full of shit that's terrible for you. Or you can pay an arm and a leg for stuff that's better but still not up to the standards of most other countries. I learned this by getting a chemical burn in my eye from sunscreen... meant for my face.

There's no fire in the sun. Fire is some material oxidizing, and that's not what's happening (or at least not in relevant amounts). What creates the radiation is nuclear fusion.

Hypothetically speaking, will you get sunburnt if you sit near a fire all day?

...and Florida, and Jamaica, and Mexico, and (I presume) Spain. There is no corner of the earth in which the English will not challenge the mighty Helios until they are as red as the cross of St. George.

Australia is a different beast though. I went out for like 10 minutes without a hat or sunscreen on a particularly hot december noon and my nose damn near fell off the day after 😅 Not because I thought I'm too tough to get sunburnt but if you live your entire life in Europe you just can't imagine the sunshine being this potent. Never happened again after that incident 😄

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..

Ok Bo Burnham

Let me let you in on a little secret...you gotta attack at night.

Reapply q2 hours and every time you use a towel. I don't think most sunscreen is advertising all day Protection.

You should be putting sunscreen on regardless, and reapplying every 3 hours.

Cancer or disgust, we all have to choose our preferred consequences.

You choose new Zeeland over Australia due to the lack of venomous animals, but forgot to check for unprotected astronomical nuclear reactor in the sky
