for background, I shaved my forearms for practicing methods of shaving my legs. low-key a mistake, don’t think id recommend shaving arms lol
I picked up a pizza after getting a shower and to dry out my hair faster I didn’t turn on the AC, was in a hot car in Florida for like 5m while it cooked and this is what happened. Pretty cool!
Edit: also it’s interesting to visualize how much water is lost when you sweat
This also is a cautionary tale: hairs make sweating more efficient as the water distributes better.
The other day I had a weird experience with pores and sweating.
I was given a family-sized bag of chips that were “too spicy” for my parents. They were spicy, sure, but not painfully spicy.
However, my body’s reaction was not the usual sweating… It was to excessively sweat from a square inch spot just above my temple.
I could literally FEEL the sweat coming out of the pores. I went to the mirror and watched it pour out like a damn faucet. It was fascinating but very uncomfortable, both physically and psychologically
Super weird.
Wow, that is super weird actually.
Reminds me of an incident I had a few months ago. I arrived at work, by bike. I hadn’t taken the bike for a good while, and I biked harder than I should have. Anyway, I sat down by my desk, and I started salivating.
It wasn’t too much at first, I could keep up by swallowing. I immediately attributed it to the biking and wrote it off, and thought it would pass soon.
But it didn’t. It kept getting worse. More saliva, and faster. I was swallowing mouthfuls at this point, and it was uncomfortable. Like I was being forced to drink lots of water, or being waterboarded.
At last I reached my breaking point and I swiftly walked to the bathroom, locked the door, and just stood with my mouth open and tongue hanging, over the sink, and it was just running, like a faucet opened just enough to be running yet not dripping. This is the part that was similar to your experience—I could feel my saliva… glands? excreting the saliva.
Anyway, this went on for about a minute or two, then it stopped, and I went on with my day.
Have never had something like that happen before, and not since.

Dang, must have been really hot for you to start sweating like this after just 5 meters. 🙃
Turning the ac on with heat will help pull moisture out of air! Ac is a natural dehumidifer.
AC… Natural…
Dehum-idifier…
Need I say more?
Just dropping in to say what follows in this thread is the most pointless, overblown argument I’ve seen in a very long time.
Full-on, unironically, arguing over dictionary definitions with each other and trading schoolyard insults.
This is what the internet does to some people. Look on and despair.
Yes, what’s so confusing?
Water freezes to the coils, and the heat melts it and it drips out of the vehicle. Same process happens inside houses too, but it drips into a drain instead.
I’d argue that hot humid air condensing on a cold stone might be a natural dehumidifier, but I’m not sure that refrigerant being compressed in a high-pressure system and then allowed to rapidly decompress through coils captured in dense arrays of metal fins while a fan blows across them qualifies as a “natural” process.
Anyway, I was just being a little silly about describing an Air Conditioner’s primary function as a natural process.
Then I realized it could come off as a little mean, so I selectively and deliberately misconstrued “dehumidify” in a way to make myself sound like a conspiracy theorist.
Now, let’s put on our foil hats and speculate wildly instead of explaining our comments! THEY want us to fight so that they can take our McRibs!
Are you arguing physics aren’t a part of nature…?
Also, natural has more than a single definition, you’re being intentionally obtuse by focusing on one. It also doesn’t mean it’s part of “nature”.
It does that when you don’t shave too.
No, it does not for the hairs distribute it. This beading is unusual on arms.
Wait… How old are you? And where did you go to school? (Country)
Probably the USA…
Banned from my instance. Please be a better person
peak Lemmy world behavior
They violated front page sidebar rules of my instance, so I banned them. What part of the process do you disagree with?
pay the court fine or serve your sentence, your stolen goods are now forfeit
Please stay on topic, this won’t take long.

i disagree with your priorities in life and the degree to which minute power makes you feel large
That’s by far the pettiest shit I’ve seen today.
Banning someone for a sidebar rule violation? You’re lucky to be so privileged - most of us have to deal with far, far worse behavior from people. And those of us in positions of authority, such as moderators and instance admins, have to do so with tact. I’d envy you if I had the time.
Have a day. 🫱
… How is this “hatred”?
This is the comment that got the user banned.
The contempt and hostility of the comment and the fact that it targets an entire demographic were the specific criteria which cost the user their membership here. Further, allowing it sets precedent for more such comments in the future. I’m not willing to tacitly endorse it by letting the user go with a warning.
Does that make sense?
Your sidebar rule explicitly talks about “hatred”. But I don’t see that at all in this comment. At worst it’s a critique of the US education system, which at this point I don’t think either side of the political spectrum is really happy with. It’s also well-known that the state of education differs greatly between US states.
If he commented something along the lines of “Probably the USA, because you have to be a moron not to know this”, I could see your point. But they didn’t. They didn’t even pass any value judgment about Americans at all.
It could even be a sarcastic reply, because the OP also posted what state they were from, so they “probably /s” are from the US.
I think you’re making a lot of assumptions about this user and their mindset when they wrote this comment. As you’ve seen from the immense feedback you got, the vast majority of users heavily disagree with you that they violated the sidebar rule. Being too heavy-handed on the moderation damages communities, it does not protect them.
In my opinion, this user should have been let off with a warning, and the comment should have stayed up because it requires a very subjective reading for it to come close to violating the sidebar rule. Alternatively you could have issued a warning and removed the comment if you want to err on the side of (excessive) caution. But a full ban was not appropriate.
Unsure if you’re referring to me or not but I’m from the UK :]
No I was referring to the OP, who stated they’re from Florida. Sorry if that was unclear.
