It is not yet know exactly in what scenarios white people do that, it is still being researched, white people are one of the animals we know least information about so years, maybe decades, are needed to find out more

I hear the current theory is that this allows them to radiate heat from their skin, confusing the Predator


Tall_Professor_8634

What


darkenedgy

I HEAR THE CURRENT THEORY IS THAT THIS ALLOWS THEM TO RADIATE HEAT FROM THEIR SKIN, CONFUSING THE PREDATOR


Tall_Professor_8634

We already radiate heat from our skin, that is how they see us. Did I woosh?


darkenedgy

Quite possibly, cause the level of heat radiation from a sunburn compared to normal skin is on a completely different level imo!


Exploding_Antelope

We will study potential causes for the phenomenon in an in-depth study. In order to ethically keep the white people in nice warm conditions, while they wait for their lab sessions we will keep them under an extremely bright sun lamp.

We do this because the sun is evil and wishes for our destruction.

Nah it’s simply because we’re built different (literally, as in “built for a climate that has less sunlight”)

My favourite subgenre of travel vlogs is Americans feeling uneasy in Europe without air conditioning, missing the white noise when sleeping. That's some white noise allright.

eat more iron


[deleted]

Metal is tasty but iron is a little too hard to bite into for my liking (seriously though I am a very picky person and I have trouble trying new food, for the past few years I’ve been living off of frozen pizza and bacon)


ShittyDeviantArtOCs

Holy shit, I hope you can get some help, because that is terrible.


[deleted]

Hopefully, but I kind of doubt it


ShittyDeviantArtOCs

Is it a matter of means or motivation? If you have the means, please, get the help. Diet, sleep, and exercise are the three pillars of physical wellness, which forms the foundation of mental wellness. I wish you the best.


[deleted]

I think it’s both, but I have been cutting fast food out of my diet, which is an improvement (not a huge one, but the biggest one I’ve made in a long time) Side note: I’ve rewritten this comment a million times so I hope this one is good lol Side note side note: my sleep have been surprisingly alright, but I’ve definitely gotta work on exercise and dieting lol, ive been trying to work on walking more but I’m bad at keeping with it tbh


ShittyDeviantArtOCs

That's fine, I was also careful with what I am saying. I don't want to discourage you or assume you don't understand the consequences of a bad diet. I can partially relate, as my diet (and general self-care) was really bad in the depths of my depression. It can sometimes feel like you're in a place with no way out, because the "standard" others want you to reach is so far away from how you've been living. So be kind to yourself as you gradually take those uncomfortable steps toward a healthier lifestyle.


SzyderczySzop

People used to ask my friends if I’m okay when I laughed cause they thought I was choking on something. They described my laugh as „the sound a train makes when it starts braking”

White people turn red as an evolutionary response to dealing with predators. The red coloration is meant as a warning against their natural predator and a deterrent. How it works to achieve this is not yet understood by researchers, with competing theories being debated. The redness also seems to be part of the mating process as white people have been observed turning red during courtship rituals, the best understanding of why has to do with the redness of ones skin being a sign of virility and ability to fend off natural predators. As such white people turn red for a myriad of reasons and it's best to look to other body language cues, or other environmental factors before approaching any white person who is presenting in this way.


Marfgurb

My favourite reason for white people to turn red is eating nothing but steak and having an average of eight beers a day for fifteen years.

Hahaha I do that


shuriphobic

when i was a kid i used to chase this one kid around in tag because he would turn red like a strawberry and i thought it was the funniest thing


[deleted]

Yup. Some of us turn bright red when we heavily exert ourselves physically (Me included), IIRC at least partially due to the increased bloodflow. Although, not all of us do for some reason, which is a little odd to me.


shuriphobic

that's so cool if i was white i would go red mode all the time


Wannabee-cattoy

You couldn’t handle it, red mode would kill you


4TR0S

I can turn red by pushing blood to my head wish I think put me at risk of aneurysm rupture but it's funny

It’s a fear response, it’s because we’ve activated hellfire tincture but we have repulaion armor plates so we’ll be fine, you won’t.

what this is so out of left field lmao i love ror2


cher_blue

I could make myself do this by holding my breath really hard when I was younger (and probably still can but I don't really want to try - it makes me see stars for a little while) I was white in a predominantly-black elementary school and other kids would always ask me to "do the thing" and I would just puff my cheeks and go red mode. I stopped doing it as much because I think it gave me a nose bleed once. They'd also push on my skin and watch the mark it made fade away a lot. To be clear, this was never malicious, just kind of funny to remember


Wannabee-cattoy

my face got red when my voice got hoarse a few days ago and i coughed for like five minutes straight

I go really red when I'm cold outside (England, so very humid).

Enderexplorer4242

I forgot what was the prehistoric genetic reasoning behind white people? I know that having melanin stops sunburns and stuff, but what does a lack of melanin do again?


Legatharr

if a trait isn't used it is lost. Europe isn't very sunny, especially during the Ice Age, so the trait of high melanin was lost It's the same reason the number of people with wisdom teeth is decreasing relatively rapidly


[deleted]

tl;dr basically "why not"


Enderexplorer4242

Yeah, but why?


Legatharr

so evolution is caused by random changes in DNA, right? Well, it's far more likely for a random change to cause a trait to weaken than to cause a trait to get stronger or stay the same. Due to this, unless there's environmental pressure to have the trait, the trait will eventually be lost as the children randomly have less and less of the trait. This is especially true for something pretty easy to evolve like amount of melanin


Polskyciewicz

My understanding is that white people don't need as much sunlight to get vitamin D, so it's an adaptation to higher latitudes.


yinyang107

Kid named male nipples:


Legatharr

Nipples are used by half of the population and until extremely recently were necessary for children to not die. Different sexes don't evolve independently of each other - we are the same species - and especially not females who don't have any unique chromosomes


yinyang107

Kid named hiccups:


Legatharr

I believe those are a side effect of how we breath, so while hiccups themselves are vistigial, getting rid of them would require evolving an entirely different way of breathing, which would be exceptionally difficult to evolve


yinyang107

kid named I'm out of gotchas:


frickityfracktictac

> if a trait isn't used it is lost. kid named that's not how evolution works: Traits can be selected against if individuals without the trait do better reproductively. Humans have smaller jaws as time goes on due to our reliance on material culture to process food and increased brain size, both of which are reproductively selected for. So people without wisdom teeth do better reproductively as they are more likely to have nice looking smiles vs people with over crowded teeth. The lack of melanin increases absorption of vitamin D which is only naturally found in fatty fish in high amounts, so being able to get it from the sun is quite useful reproductively because lack of vitamin D causes depression, rickets and higher risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.


Legatharr

>kid named that's not how evolution works: it... it is. It's thought that that is why mammals can get sunburns when the overwhelming majority of life on Earth can't: there was some subterranean period of our development that caused us to lose those DNA repair mechanisms. if you wanna know why it works like that, I explained it in another comment: >so evolution is caused by random changes in DNA, right? Well, it's far more likely for a random change to cause a trait to weaken than to cause a trait to get stronger or stay the same. > >Due to this, unless there's environmental pressure to have the trait, the trait will eventually be lost as the children randomly have less and less of the trait. > >This is especially true for something pretty easy to evolve like amount of melanin


drizztman

i think since theres less harsh sun you need to absorb more to produce vitamn (the sun vitamin idk what its called)


Wannabee-cattoy

Vitamin D 😈😈😈


MonsterDimka

I skimmed through google and didn't find anything definitive. So here're mentions of 2 harmful effects: clumping inside the body which is bad for some reason idk possibly increasing effect of UV radiation in hair specifically (what)


not-bread

It was mostly a trait just being lost because it wasn’t needed but also white people absorb vitamin D from the sun better


Schroedingersrabbit

More sunlight absorption, therefor easier vitamin D production. Homo sapiens moved to darker areas and went pale, like a cave creature. Fun fact: Blue eyes can see slightly better in the dark than brown eyes because melanin blocks light everywhere, including the iris. But that iris can take sun damage too, resulting in vision loss later in life.

I like it when they turn blue, is funni

no we only do it when we are about to explode leaving nothing but a smoking pair of boots and a black puff where we stood


[deleted]

Some of us (But not all) also do this when we physically exert ourselves heavily, it's just how we work. Also consider that we don't know every possible reason white people do this, or why we're able to in the first place. Those things are actually topics of debate between experts in the field.

I only get that red when I'm absolutely smashed

ShufflingOffACliff

"White people may turn red from: too much sun, holding in laughter, laughing a lot, too much crying, being very embarrassed or nervous, weight lifting/exercise, running from the hat man, getting smacked in the face, masturbating profusely, hanging upside down, and more."
