I know what I'm dressing as for Halloween next year.

Shave your arms up to your elbows. If anyone says anything about it say you took a cooking course on making pizza from scratch, and the instructors recommended shaving your hands and forearms if you were going to try hand-tossing the dough to limit contamination.

This guy bullshits

Yes I need to keep you nearby

Men, if you have an issue with being too warm, and are hairy, that's likely correlated. During the heat wave this summer I did total body hair removal, and my comfortable temperature range went from like 72F to 80F

But, I have both hyperhydrosis and sweat triggered eczema, so staying cool is medically necessary for me.

I'm hairy as fuck and cold all the time

How do I get more fur

Got a cat but he saps the heat from me. The animal has such cold paws sometimes, and knows how to warm them up with a human present. Just 5 mins tho, then he goes away for no reason

Hair transplants work by redistributing hair from somewhere else on your body tho. So I would be even colder there

[–] bratosch@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe have it donated by someone who's too hot and want less fur?

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It'll just get rejected and they'd have to amputate. Or shave.

Global warming life pro tip right here.

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Being fully hairless just makes my clothes feel stickier in hot weather. Fine hair helps wick moisture. But ya, better than being fully furry if your hair grows in like a gorilla.

[–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It's just something that takes a bit of getting used to, but after a few weeks I didn't notice the weird feeling anymore.

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm covered in thick fur from my head to the tips of my toes. I usually run hot and feel most comfortable in 65-68 degree temperatures.

I did a full hair removal one summer - everything from the neck down - just to see if it would relieve me of the heat. Unfortunately, my hair also grows ridiculously fast. Not only did it fully grow back in less than a week, but it came back thicker! I now have fur patches in places I used to just have a few fine light hairs. Now I'm extra miserable in the heat.

Bonus cruelty: I was in the US military for 20 years and kept getting stationed in hot places, including a deployment to Africa and a deployment to Iraq, both during the summer. I actually developed a heat rash in Africa from sweating too much.

Must fully commit now. Fill bathtub with Nair. Take weekly baths in Nair.

[–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

An epilator is more economical.

[–] Master@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My everything crawled up inside me.

[–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It's not all that bad after like the 3rd time doing it, especially if you do the prep right.

Weird enough, the most painful spot was my chest. I figured it would be pubes, but those weren't a big deal at all.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 11 months ago

Reminds me of this story. Sorry for the link to the other site, I couldn't find another source quickly

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thin out the hair on the arm to make it look natural...

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Gradual fade from wrist to elbow. Problem solved

[–] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Or wear gloves all the time and really standout.

Well do the rest of the arm and then paint fingernails

It's a blessing in disguise. He's just realized he's a walking canvas. So many possibilities!

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

If you did what I do for a living, you'd shave up to your elbow! Without a second thought. I'm lucky for not having that much body hair.

Apply moisturizer - that skin is sensible - and be prepared for ingrown hairs. And ~~h~~itching.

[–] tenacious_mucus@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Hitching? You mean this’ll get our man married?!

Every woman's crazy for the gorilla-tuxedo look.

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Who said it was a man?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't that be grand?

[–] kaleid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That would be sensible.

[–] sheepishly@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What do you do for a living?

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago

Probs shaving arms.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I work with substances nobody should really mess with and that implies wearing gloves for extended periods of time.

Pulling hairs out is a daily event and washing contaminants away when the gloves fail with that much hair - or any amount whatsoever - makes things harder.

I would sooner make gunpowder cotton or nitroglycerin instead.

[–] bran_buckler@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My curiosity is piqued too! I’m mostly commenting so that I can check back later, but…

  • Are they wearing chain mail gloves (for sharks or cutting meat) that the hair would catch?

  • Going forearm deep in food, to stir or, I don’t know…?

  • Reaching into hot ovens or crucibles that the hair would singe?

  • Going forearm deep to help birth sheep or cows?

  • Or are they a wristwatch/hand model?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

You must wear food grade gloves underneath the chain mail ones, regardless.
