My brain is telling me, the bottom right picture has to be the fluffiest thing to possibly exist fluffily in the universe

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 13 points 1 day ago

As someone who's skin is naturally about as pale as a troglodyte Irishman but lives in SoCal. Tanning can fuck you up if you tan too quickly I still have a large amount of freckles and discoloration on my shoulders from skin damage back when I was like 10, I am 25 it has been years. Though admittedly I do have a very light farmers tan on my forearms and on the upper part of my face.

My burned and now tanned skin says otherwise

Sometimes it be like that too

Then they killed it and ate its limbs.

Chances are that this is for something like a petting zoo. The farmers that raise them for meat don’t treat them well enough to get them a wash and a blowout at the local salon.

is a tan washing off really a thing? asking because my skin burns just thinking about the sun lol

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We think the implication is that it's dirt, not a tan.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Tan dirt.

So it works. Maybe. Try squinting at it.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 days ago

This is the most accurate thing ever. I'm pretty sure I still have dirt in some of the creases of skin, and I haven't been in the field for 3 years
