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
It does that when you don’t shave too.
Shaving one’s arms is weirdly common among women in Japan.
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.
That’s even more bizarre than my story lol
Usually excessive salivation is a sign that I’m about to vomit so I think I would have wound up in the stall as a precaution
Jokes aside, it was nearly a steady stream off my head. I had to make a bath towel turban
Maybe you are leaking brain fluid. Do you hear the ocean?
Where did you think sweat came from?
The eyeballs. I only sweat when I’m sad.
Your blood actually.
UR BUTT
I find your water discipline lacking. May Shai Hulud forgive you.
was in a hot car in Florida for like 5m
Dang, must have been really hot for you to start sweating like this after just 5 meters. 🙃
It’s Florida - OP was sweating like this in the first meter
Turning the ac on with heat will help pull moisture out of air! Ac is a natural dehumidifer.
AC
natural
AC… Natural…
Dehum-idifier…
Need I say more?
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”.
I like my AC-s homegrown.
Artisanal Conditioning
And the heat then means the air can absorb more moisture.
You want hot dry air for maximum evaporation.
If you have the heat on in an ICE car you get waste heat from the engine blown into the cabin. The AC does nothing in that case. And even if it did, as in the the AC would be run in reverse like a home heat pump in the winter, moisture would be condensed out of the outside air, not the cabin air.
… most vehicles turn the AC on when turned to defrost mode.
The waste heat blowing across the coils is what unfreezes the moisture for it to drip off. It works better as a dehumidifer the warmer the air blowing across it, as hot air holds more moisture. Also cars have a neat little switch to recycle the air, sometimes it’s automatic with ac, this allows cabin air, instead of waste air to also blow across the coils.
It also beads up when you don’t shave. Had that yesterday with my hairy gorilla arms when sitting still and trying to cool off.
+1, not sure if shaving has anything to do with it. You can see this beading up quite easily in a sauna for example
