Sun exposure/UV will sap all the energy out of you and outside work is usually going to be more physically strenuous than whatever you're doing inside permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 child) Yeah but the temps never are the same are they? The sun heats the building and unless you've got a fan the entire shift, you have no airflow. Agreed on the UV part tho. Edit: Lol about the more physical/strenuous part tho. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] idealism_nearby@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children) If the blinds are closed and there's half decent insulation, and maybe a fan for some airflow, inside can be much nicer.

You often get industrial blowers on the floor but it's still pushing triple digit air at you. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) Offices also usually have computers and other things adding a not insignificant amount to that heat. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago Still depends. The air usually is better outside as it can get pretty stuffy inside quickly. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago I don't experience that personally. I find the constant AC blowing on me fucks me up. Being out in the hot sun feels great. Maybe I'm a reptile.... permalink fedilink source parent [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 1 month ago Some buildings trap heat and can actually be hotter than outside, with no airflow and often the humidity of dozens of sweating humans. Yes, outdoor labor is strenuous and working in the sun is draining.

And I've worked outside. Inside without A/C is far worse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 child) You've got to understand that a foundry is probably the most extreme form of "worked inside," right? I don't think its the lack of aircon making you toasty lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago Right but I have also worked at other factories as well that didn't have AC as well. Before this job, I'd never stayed anywhere more than 2 1/2 years. My ADHD gets bored and tired of people too easily lol so I've had a lot of random experience. I've even worked an air conditioned desk job for a while, absolutely hated it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SchadeMarmelade@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago (1 child) Hmm, foundry.
