The sun hurts you if you leave your skin exposed to it while doing yard work for 2-4 hours every day after work in June/July

This!

I have one of those round straw hats myself 😅

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have one of the big rice paddy hats that are pointed at the top. But I’m not Asian so it looks kinda silly on me, the legitimately Chinese lady across the road wears the same thing when doing her gardening and I just feel wrong wearing it in front of her lol

Ever since I got myself a big straw hat I wear that shit every time I go outside. It's amazing.

That and a mask when mowing, my allergies are bad.

holy fucking shit. Brian’s hat just got him in huge trouble in a meeting. Mr Andrews made Brian take off his hat. He said it was distracting. He said if anyone disagreed, he’d let Brian keep the hat on. Nobody said shit dude. Nobody said shit.

I've never fought for anything in my life, but now I'm fighting for this hat.

Trap? What's the trap? It looks like the superior product to me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

There already huh?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Not a trap, an enlightenment! I don't have a hat like this one but at some point you realize that life is a jungle. Better consider it a safari and enjoy!

Skin cancer.

Around 40 when you value practicality over style.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m 39. Stop scaring me.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Just start early. You'll be ahead of the curve. There is no one left to look "cool" for.

You were cool all along, no matter what you wore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm 39 and just bought a pair of those trainers that have the individual toes. I love them and Fuck what everyone else thinks.

Anyway you're not gonna get younger.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're just mad that your hat doesn't have a cape.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hey, get a load of old no-cape Veedems over here.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I strive for the confidence of the park ranger, in this, shorts, a nice breathable polo shirt, doubled white socks and sunscreen still visible. All while being the chillest guy you know. It is not in the hat itself, but there is power in your ability to wear it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

When you realize the sun can fucking kill you and, if you're of light complexion, very well may.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

It took about a dozen times of burning my pale shaven head to finally succumb. I wish I had started sooner. I have two presently, one with a fold-away cape (like in the picture) to cover the neck and shoulders, and one with a zip-away mosquito net that covers my whole head.

One of us! One of us! Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

These things save my pasty white ass at music festivals. After getting skin cancer this year, I'd wear one with a cape to cover my whole body if I could.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I get sunburned when exposed for a few minutes, especially the neck. I also have hair loss and sunburn on the head isn't as fun as it sounds.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I believe it's called being born white

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The guy at the store said I was the only one who's pulling out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You've probably got dice in your pocket but you're too afraid to show anyone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

QUIT FUCKIN WITH EM!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Dont pull out inside the store

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm 35 and I have one. It's great for cutting the grass and other outside stuff. Don't feel like getting crispy on my ears or bald spot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

or bald spot.

You said the quiet part out loud... Take it back!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Idk, but I'm fighting it too. I already got the sunhat, and the neck guard is on the horizon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Give in. Come to the dark side

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

cries in dad

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is me too. And the fact that it works really well for when I’m outside doesn’t help..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

After they cut out skin cancer out of your face for the third time you buy this hat. At that point you keep a tube of sunscreen next to the toothpaste and you put it on everyday even in February

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By the way, the taste of sunscreen is discussing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nice try toothpaste lobby. I'm gonna chug a tube right now.

Hiking happens.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Retire and fish every day............ A man can dream.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

My dad wears this when he mows the lawn because he's had a few melanoma spots removed. So... cancer I guess.

Summer discgolf in Florida

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I love how you had to clarify disc golf.. bet let's be honest only us hippy golfers would wear the hat. Okay you're right.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You go to a day-long BBQ and the back of your neck gets completely fried, causing you the worst migraine and nausea you can think of, cause you cooked your spinal column.

At least that's what caused me to buy one of these.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The trap is that you didn’t add a wet neckerchief which drips a wet trail down your dad cleavage like you’re a total gym stud

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Too much sun makes your skin kill itself. After a while you probably want it to stop doing that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The trap is realizing that skin cancer on your neck and under your hair is a thing. :/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Life is what you make it. Ever since people are going back into the office, the place is filled with pachyderms and smells like wild animals. You can't tell me the hat is out of place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Trip because of a rock, land in surveyor school.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I play disc golf.

Sometimes finding my disc is a safari
