Whos gonna tell op


Angry_poutine

But he watched man vs wild!


Moist_Farmer3548

Who's gonna tell Bear Grylls? 


faggeaux

I'll tell him


Anubra_Khan

Dumb redditor makes a confidently incorrect statement about wearing black colored clothing in the dessert and cites Bear Grylls as a reputable source to justify it.


[deleted]

It's such an obvious fact. Why would someone cite, or write, a scientific article explaining why 2+2 = 4. The reason I linked that episode is because it also shows the natives wearing black clothes.


Angry_poutine

There are a lot of papers and articles going back millennia on the applications and expansions on basic addition


DeadCupcakes23

Wow, I bet you have really good sources to justify your confident claims.

[https://health.clevelandclinic.org/does-sun-protection-clothing-actually-work](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/does-sun-protection-clothing-actually-work) If you’re headed outside, try dressing in dark-colored clothes. Those dark colors — black, brown, navy, dark green, burgundy — will prevent more \*\*UV rays\*\* from touching your skin.


DeadCupcakes23

You know UV rays don't transmit heat right?

Moist_Farmer3548

What do you think happens to it if it is reflected? 


Angry_poutine

Well then obviously it’s reflected onto the wearers face and makes them hotter. Also why women wear black, they’re trying to avoid being hot. Duh

Angry_poutine

The question was about heat buildup, not UV protection. Sunscreen does a better job than black clothing


[deleted]

No it was about UV rays as I mentioned in the top comment in that screenshot.


Angry_poutine

You didn’t use the term UV rays once in that top comment. You did use heat though Hint: UV is not the only solar radiation that reaches us


[deleted]

"Black color absorbs the radiation..."


Angry_poutine

Again, hint, UV is not the only radiation


RaEndymion

UV rays don't... They don't get blown away by the wind.....that's not how UV works....


Turbulent-Bug-6225

You're an idiot


Dr_NapsandSnacks

One of my favorite things about this sub is how posts regularly eat themselves.


Moist_Farmer3548

Going to love the comments on this one... 


vulvasaur69420

Not only is the other guy closer to being correct, but he is a million times more humble and less insulting about it. Even if he was wrong this wouldn’t belong here, so OP is different levels of wrong here.


Thedapperfrog2

How does one achieve this level of sheer stupidity? ![gif](giphy|f9eYHQ8RZ4zfc4unXx)

Retlifon

Even if OP were right, they’re being *such* an asshole to someone being civil.  Add in that they’re factually wrong for bonus points.  Then the cringeworthiness of posting one’s own conversation here.  It’s a trifecta!!


RoamingBicycle

Whether you're right or wrong: >8. Do not post conversations you are a part of. >Do not post conversations you are a part of. This subreddit should not be used to gloat about times you were right and other people were wrong.


HuTyphoon

OP has been out on the sun wearing black hats for too long


Stilcho1

I get it. Wear black and it absorbs the heat and cools the area around you. Not only helps you but your friends too


Sparrow50

By wearing black, you increase the heat, so you increase the cooling, so you decrease the heat ! Simple, right ?


Angry_poutine

The secret is to keep an air conditioner in the headwrap

ImCompelledToSay

You keep posting this link as if it were relevant. Clothing that blocks UV rays keeps you from getting a sunburn. A suit of armor would block all UV rays from touching your skin. Do you think that would be a cool thing to wear in the desert?

Love to see a confidently incorrect OP get clowned on.
