europeans evolved to not be in the direct sunlight, they sun burn easily because they didnt need to develop resistance to the sun. People arent magically getting sun burned now

Kind of. In ye olden days people tended to already have tans by default, because they spent most of their lives outside. People also wore hats, which probably helped to some degree.

Early European farmers brought a white skin with them to receive more vitamin D from the sunlight, which was necessary due to a smaller cosumption of animal products containing it (unlike the darker hunter gatherers).

They wore hats and clothing that covered their skin. At some point we got conned into thinking that wearing less clothes is better though and have suffered accordingly ever since.

Real men anoint themselves with olive oil every day. No devil rays shall penetrate the blood of athena's fruit.

Thanks JFK? I mean I guess that makes sense, the fashion was drastically different until just around 50 years ago. I always see pictures of old southerners with big hats on.

Why deal with the sun? Ive actually contemplated carrying an umbrella everywhere I go, but I don't want to look like some special snowflake starting a new fashion trend

>Tfw I'm a pale white guy, but don't burn at all despite being out in the sun for most of the day
>tfw I don't even use sunscreen
I'm probably gonna get skin cancer later in life, but for now I get to laugh at all the skinlets
