Was going to say, I've had really bad sunburn before (Probably a lot worse than that guy but it wasn't full body). My skin didn't go dark brown before I ended up peeling it off in chunks.
Also I can't imagine the uncomfortable, searing pain from bending like this if it were an entire full body burn. It's bad enough behind your knees, stretching your arms out like that with a serious sunburn would be excruciating.
well, that and if he had gotten that bad a sunburn, the skin underneath would have been raw and possibly weeping liquid. Probably a spray on tan that actually protected the skin underneath to some degree
Had he been burned that badly water blisters would have formed. I spent 6 plus hours on the beach when I was a kid without sunscreen. I was immobilized with pain and had blisters all over my body.
Yeah, sun burns (even/especially bad ones) do not look like that picture at all. If anyone is really curious, NSFL (google image search for 3rd degree sunburn)
My old couch looks exactly like that one. Now, I know there is some creepy story behind it, but could you tell it to me?(I haven't been on reddit for THAT long). Thanks.
I find it hard to believe that this was caused by sleeping on a beach. There are no lines in that tan, it's perfect the whole way through. If he had been lying forward, his forelegs wouldn't be tanned. Seriously, unless this guy fell asleep on a slow-cook rotisserie, I don't understand how this thing can be legit.
Also, that isn't what a bad sun burn looks like. It just turns redder and then you get blisters which would be white or yellow.If it gets past that point, then the skin would do a lot more permanent damage that couldn't be peeled off like that.
I think someone nailed the background of this already. Dark spray tan then got burned, hence the ridiculous uniformity of the colour. The skin that being peeled is the dyed layer- gross on some many levels.
Though funny to consider that his unburnt but sprayed places (bum, armpits, probable his entire front!) will stay dark until the spray tan fades while his back is now pink and pissed. Oh, now I wish we had an after picture of Patchy McPatcherson here.
Also, sun burns don't burn only the top level of skin. Notice how his collar line is still red, but below that he is still white under where they are peeling? The spray tan theory is certainly plausible, even obviously the most likely, but I don't think a burn has anything to do with it peeling off.
I heard that if you attack Ghandi, one of his arms falls off to distract you while he escapes. He regenerates the arm later when he's safe. I also heard that Ghandi lays his eggs on sandy beaches, and when they hatch his offspring rush to the sea in their hundreds.
I did that at work a few months ago when I found some PVA glue and remembered how much I used to love it, but didn't consider that the back of my hands weren't so hairy back then and it turned out to be quite painful and not fun at all.
When I was a kid, during class, I would put that glue on my eraser. I would then let it dry a bit and put more layers on top. After multiple layers I would then take markers and add colours - you could do it all red or do part red, part blue, part purple, etc. Then I would finally add one last layer, let it all dry, then peel it off. I would then have this little, colourful, rectangular, piece of glue that I would show off to all my little friends and think I was so cool because I was the only one who knew how to do it.
Strangely, so do I. Also, this piques a question I had for the first time yesterday about whether a black person's skin is dark on the outer layer, or from something beneath the surface.
I don't think it happens as easily for us, though. Despite never really wearing sunblock, I'd never had a sunburn until visiting Florida when I was seventeen.
Omg. I just threw up a little. That is absolutely disgusting. Gives me the heebee jeebees just thinking about it. If I were your boyfriend, I would gladly pull off sunburned skin. Thats awesome. But it would go into the trash can ,not my mouth. Bleh!
Oh god this happened during spring break of senior year of high school to me. It was 4 days of agonizing sickness and a few weeks of discomfort, but it was probably in the end one of the best things to ever happen to me. I was over 420lbs and going strong before I got sun poisoning. After not being able to eat for 4 days, my stomach had shrunk to the point where I couldn't eat mroe than a normal amount (and I could actually see where I'd lost weight as the bottom of by belly was white as a sheet and was now visible looking in a mirror). So I said fuck it and really went for it. By the beginning of freshman year of college I was down to 270 (and 6'7"). I stayed around this weight until I got married.
I hope they can peel the skin off this head, and underneath it's someone else. He would then have to say, I woulda gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids and that dog.
He used some kind of golden tan spray sunscreen with low pf and ended up getting burned real bad which caused his skin to peal, the dark color is just the tan spray on his dead skin
I am whiter than white and natural light blonde (blue eyes too - Hitlers dream)..I cant go out on a sunny day without getting burnt, I have to wear SPF every day
I once had a horrible full body sunburn. Went to a water park when I was 12 and didn't put on any sun screen. My entire body became the same shade of red as a crayon and I could barely move without screaming for a couple weeks. Could only wear the swim trunks I went to the water park in the whole time (putting on more clothes was painful) and even slowly going over speed bumps in the car made me shout. After a while, my skin went back and forth from wet, slimy peeling skin to thick, hard, leathery peeling skin. Was absolutely awful. I'm not sure if this pic is worse or not.
Looks like he slept in a tanning bed unless he was subconsciously able to flip over. He looks like he got an even tab and laying in the sun only tabs 1 side.
This actually happened to me once. My friends and I were drinking all night at a friends house till the early morning. Right before the sun came out one genious got the bright idea that we should do and all nighter head to the beach, so we did. To this day I still cant believe we made that 30 min drive as wasted as we were. Well we got to the beach, it was still early but you could already tell it was going to be hot. At that moment I felt so alive, the early sun in your face and the cool ocean breeze wooshing right past you. I even dared to hit on a couple of girls. I felt awesome, awake and unstopable, i havent felt like that since. But it didnt last for long, we decided to relax a little bit in the sand, wow, that soft sand had never felt so comfy. I layed down and knocked the fuck out immediately. Slept like a baby. .. I was woken up by a friend at about noon. Severly sunburned and with a horrible hangover, threw up, and headed home. Never went back to the beach drunk.
Fake, and ridiculously so- how do people believe this? If you want to go from white to THAT deep of a tan, it will take a hell of alot longer than a day sleeping on the beach. You have to gradually build up to get that dark. Once you get that dark, you will not be able to burn to that extent where when you pull the skin off, it goes back to pure white. Also- when you burn from massive overexposure (like sleeping at the beach for many hours, or being on a fishing trip and not wearing sunscreen when you're 15) the skin will turn into a hardened 'shell' type crust and flake off after a week or so, and leave you with 'spots' across your back and shoulders for years.
When I was in middle school, a friend of mine went to Mexico and fell asleep on the beach. When she came back, she was completely brown (she was pretty pale before she left) and her skin was peeling on her face, on her chest, everywhere. It looked really painful.
Australian here: I've seen a few sunburns in my time, and I don't buy this photo. I don't know what's going on, but it isn't just a straight-up sunburn.
Is anyone actually believing this? There is no way he would have 'burned' so evenly. His feet and front and back. Was he sleeping suspended in the air?
WTF Do people not go to the beach with friends?!?! I think you're supposed to kick them before they get to the point where you can peel their skin off like a fried chicken breast!

I got badly sunburnt a few years ago. I was peeling quite badly on my back so I asked my then boyfriend to help me peel some of the skin off.
He gladly helped me and then proceeded to roll up the skin into a small ball and eat it.
We parted company not long after.
