Here’s a weird one. If I get in my car and it’s hot I will sometimes just sit there and stew in it for a couple of minutes.

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/

This is so much worse than OP.
Thawing.
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?
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.
It feels like a Sauna...... and I LOVE it lol. Of course I don't have to work outside in it all day long and it does suck to cut the grass in the middle of the day. But still I enjoy that wave of heat/humidity mixed with a slight ocean breeze when I step outside in the summer time
I will take hot, wet weather over any sort of dry heat, anytime. Another Florida native here, and I am convinced all the water in the air is good for your skin. Went to Utah and felt like one of those dry apples. And my nose bled from the dry air!
I agree, humidity is good. Rain is even better.
I'm with you OP. I live in New England which admittedly doesn't have terrible humidity but whenever I go to Vegas there's always some local that that latches on to a humidity argument. We get to talking about how hot Vegas is vs New England and they without fail always say "oh but you have to deal with all that humidity, we've got a nice dry heat." It's like they don't understand how fucking insane that sounds, 115F does not feel better that 60-80% humidity at 80F unless you're a damn lizard.
Former Floridian checking in. Having lived up north 13+years, I do not miss that gross ass, stanky ass layer of second forced dermal torture that somehow seeps internally like a soggy face-hugger speed-running towards your soul/sanity. I have to endure it for three months up here; I'd rather ride my bike to work through a blizzard, easy
