I hate the sun

OP =

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

It's wonderful in the winter.

I hate spring.

Same, I only like it in late autumn and early spring when it's weak.

Somewhat related, but did you know that retinol above the 0.3% concentration was banned in the EU last year because Dutch people couldn't be arsed to put on sunscreen after using it? They think they don't need sunscreen when the sky is overcast over there, and their skin cancer rates shot up through the roof. So now the whole union is being punished for their foolishness, and my skin will never look as good again.

In the sun all seems to breathe freedom and peace, and to make one forget the world and its sad turmoils.

Cloudy days are relaxing. The sun hurts my eyes and gives me headaches.

Same op. I’m a bit allergic to it also. Don’t fret the sun is going down earlier every night

Nice lyrics, op. Is this the beginning of a new song by you?

I hate the moon.

Without it, you would be dead.

Yes, r11. But eventually it’s going to destroy the entire planet. Insatiable top.

It's a mixed blessing.

I HATE CITY BUSES!!

I hate the Supreme Court!

R5 that is insane!

Get your Retinol next time you’re in Asia or Latin-America. Or maybe as close by as Turkey?

[quote] I HATE CITY BUSES!!

We need trees. Trees cool the ground, they eat carbon dioxide, they emit oxygen. They provide fruits and nuts. They give us pine straw and leaf litter which enrich soil with compost. They are what children used to climb on and swing from before there were video games. They are a renewable source of energy and building technology, but they must be renewed by replanting and regrowth.

I think that I shall never see a used car lot, or a fast food drive-thru as lovely as a tree.

I detest it too

Golly, the shun?

I hate you, OP

I’m not surprised that an ugly shut in hates the sun

What about accent walls?

I WANT THE SUN!

Interesting. I want to soak up the sun.

Here come da SUN, mothafukka.

Who loves the sun Who cares that it makes plants grow Who cares what it does Since you broke my heart

I sweat from May to October. Just anything I do, my shirt is is soaked. I think it's my Scandinavian DNA.

OP, rain depresses me beyond belief. I could never live in the UK.

I love the sun and this song.

I swear everything on DL was on reddit a year ago.

They have a T-shirt for that OP.

This woman I work for every so often says she hates the sun. Odd since she moved to LA for the weather. But then she's Debbie Downer, everything and everyone sucks in her mind and she loves gloomy days. Just like her personality most of the time.

I visited Norway a couple of weeks ago and got to see the midnight sun. It was the coolest thing, waking up at 3.am and seeing the sun still shining.

I always suspected The DL had more than its share of vampires.

I have a preference for evenings, nights, and overcast days; my diabetes and its medications have accentuated photosensitivity in me. These days, especially during the summer, I frequently nap during the hottest, brightest part of the afternoon.

The sun is from where all blessings flow on this planet. Fossil fuels are just stored sunshine. But we know now we can use the sun to make useful energy directly without burning anything -- wind and solar power.

I have used my solar laundry dryer (my clothesline) since 2008.

With my heat pump I heat my home with free heat put into the atmosphere everyday by the sun.

Yep, the sun is my buddy.

R38, do you have a lot of bumper stickers on your car?

I think you mean his very old Volvo, R39

^^ Nope, none

But it is a Subaru isn't it?

I do like the winter or autumn sun but in the summer it pisses me off

Nope.

I don’t hate the sun, but I hate sitting under it. It’s uncomfortable. I like winter; I keep better.

Dutchie, you sound like a writer for Star Wars.

"I don't like sand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere."

I like Blue!

I like Turtles

I like the sun -- all you really need is hard-core sunscreen, a baseball cap, and UV-blocking clothing, and you're good to go.

But then again, I live in Florida.

Who are all of you?

OP -- I hate the sun, too. I love rain and thunderstorms. Especially the weather right before a hurricane hits: the light is so peculiar, the wind picks up, and the air smells like water.

Here's something for you -- Midnight Sun, a Twilight Zone episode

While I do love that Twilight Zone episode, at the end (spoiler alert!), it's the cold that kills them.

Is Lo Nettleton in that Twilight Zone?

She was, r52.

This sun, the one that toys with Earth, is really a lower tier one.

It can't hang with the Big Girls:

Mu Cephi - about 1500 times the size of our sun. Betelgeuse - about 900 times the size of our sun. Antares - about 530 times the size of our sun.

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me

I love the different shiftings of sunlight during the seasons and during the seasons. However, a gloomy, rainy day has its own special charm. When it is sunny in the summer, I feel like I should be outside doing something. It depresses me after a few days.

I remember one summer in New York City in the early 90s when it was cloudy and/or rained every fucking weekend for the whole fucking summer. Monday - Friday would be gorgeous when I was stuck in an office. Come Saturday morning, the clouds would return and stay all weekend. Never got to the beach once that year.

I can't stand the rain.

R49 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

🎵 I love the sun! I love the suuu-uuuu-uuuu-nnnn. 🌞

If it wasn’t for the sun, what would we all tan our balls with?

I don't like the morning sun with its promise of a boiling hot day. I do like the late afternoon sun, signaling the end of the day and that hopefully things will cool off.

Gee, it's kind of important. Does a lot of good things. Vitamin D is good. Photosynthesis is good. Warmth. Light. Light is good. We need it to revolve around. It's why we can see the moon.

I hate stars who act as if everything revolves around them.

The heat does make people stupid…

I have very light colored eyes and bright sunlight makes me sneeze when it hits them.

Has anyone else experienced this?

That’s the photic sneeze reflex, R65. I always assumed everyone sneezed when they looked at bright light, but apparently it’s just 18-35% of us!

Glad to know I'm not the only one that feels this way about El Sol.

I do like the sun in early Spring, and definitely in Autumn and Winter; when it's nice and weak.

Rainy days are the best, I always love it when it rains.

I think August should be banned.

As well as the first half of September.

Fuck it. Ban July too.

July 1st thru Aug 10 - we’re almost there, if we can just hold on through the day

I agree, R68. Winter should be two weeks, max. Summer maybe just four.

To R57 Why don't you like the rain?

"I can't stand the rain...against my window...bringing back sweet memories."

Phillywhore R71 did you ever hear this mash-up? It’s pretty good!!

And the sun that was like a great white bone of a GIANT beast that had caught on fire in the sky! And then I... I... HEEEELLLLPPP!!!

T0 R72...I never heard that mashup before, never knew Tina Turner sang that to Glady Knight& The Pips MTTG music

It was fucking awesome-Thanks

R73

Damn it, R75!

Get thee to Alaska during winter!

R65 Yes, it has always happened to me, but I have brown eyes (not dark brown, but not "very light," either.

The sun also brings out assholes and criminals
