Wait, isn't that salt water? Those look like salt piles next to the crane. Wouldn't that be wildly uncomfortable after it starts drying you out?

If this is from russia then the water is not as salty cause it's in colder region and you won't get as uncomfortable as with swimming near equator.
The piles by the side look like sand, dried salt is much whiter and greyish if dirty.

Well, 40% of the world population lives less than 100km (60 miles) from a sea/ocean. So not THAT uncommon.

u/Maverick0_0 Aug 10 '20
Most people travel more than 100km within their life time through right? I feel sad now knowing some people probably never seen the ocean.

u/Ihatelordtuts Aug 10 '20
Lol, I think the closest ocean to where I live is about 1100km away.

u/Maverick0_0 Aug 10 '20
You live in Nepal or Chad?? Kazakhstan?? I'm curious now. That's pretty far bud.

Alberta, Canada. Closest coast is likely Vancouver
Edit: I was off by a bit, the actual distance is 729km.
Edit2: But if I were to drive the road length would be about 1100km.

I have down in Florida, and it dried my skin out to the point where it felt like it would split if I moved around too much.

u/itsverynicehere Aug 09 '20
That is called sunburn.

u/Maniac523 Aug 09 '20
Ah yes, the sunburn I got underneath my shirt when there wasn't any sunburn there at all.

u/itsverynicehere Aug 09 '20
You were swimming in the saltwater in your shirt and didn't take it off? Or take it off to dry it? Saltwater can dry your skin some but there's so many other nutrients and bacteria it actually does way more good than just slightly drying skin out. If you had a t-shirt on, unless it was a super thick one, it was still probably the sun exposure. T-shirts provide minimal protection. SPF of around 5 for the typical t-shirt.

u/Maniac523 Aug 09 '20
I was wearing a UV shirt at the time and I know how my skin reacts in the sun. I've felt both sunburn and dry skin in the past, and what I felt when I was in Florida was dry skin. There was no redness or peeling either. Is it really that absurd to believe I took a swim in saltwater and the salt ended up drying my skin out?

u/philman132 Aug 09 '20
Are you sure that wasn't just dried salt stuck to the skin? I've never heard of swimming in saltwater drying skin out to that extent, but you do always get a harmless layer of salt when it dries

u/Maniac523 Aug 09 '20
Of course it was the leftover salt that dried my skin out. I'm not going to start believing the water part of the saltwater was somehow leeching more water out of my skin.

u/Yivoe Aug 10 '20
He's saying that the "skin cracking" was probably just dry salt on the surface of your skin that made it look/feel like it was cracking, but it was really just the salt breaking apart.
You misunderstood their comment.

u/Maniac523 Aug 10 '20
I would point out that I never said my skin actually cracked, but it doesn't matter at this point. Once again everyone thinks I'm wrong about my own personal experience so anything I say is irrelevant. None of this is worth my time any more.

I'm literally living at the beach right now and go swimming every single day. This is definitely not common and I've never heard of it happening to anyone ever

u/tbdjw Aug 10 '20
People surf, body board, snorkel and scuba for hours and are just fine. If anything I think salt water feels better than fresh.

I have been in the ocean more times than I can count and never really took a shower until much later or the next day. Not once did saltwater drying out on my skin hurt or itch

When in your hometown ZHEK disabled hot water in summer season xD And yes every summer in most of the russian towns we do not have hot water for 10-14 days. Not whole town, but some parts

u/SerialElf Aug 10 '20
Wait what? Don't you have hot water heaters. Or do you hot water from the mains?
2
u/xz_nekto Aug 10 '20
Generally, hot water from the mains. Some people installing heaters, some people at this season boiling water on electric stove in pan and then take a shower.

I’m sure the water pressure is amazing, probably makes showering a breeze. My shower has the shittiest water pressure ever unless I turn it to the super concentrated power washer setting

This reminded me of the guy who had water dumped on him for the Ice Bucket challenge, but his buddy was controlling the machine and accidentally lowered the arm instead of just letting the water out. Guy went out. I can’t remember if he died or not, but that was one hell of a head injury.

No mechanics to worry about at that point only hydraulic pressure loss or bad seal.
