This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

The sun in Japan is on a whole another level. Even if it's cloudy, even if it's winter, it's easy to get a sunburn. People with sensitive skin need to be especially careful.
What makes Japan special?
The middle of Japan is on roughly the same latitude as South Carolina and north Africa.
As a weeb living in South Carolina, I feel bad for Japan.
Why is that?
Guess because UV levels are higher.
LOL say what?! [citation needed]
Reminds me of Fox News saying solar would never work in Germany because they don't have enough sunlight.

It seems I overestimated the sun in Japan, and it is much rougher elsewhere, closer to the equator.
You inspired me to look up a UV index world map!
The west coast of South America surprised me. And why is Papua New Guinea baking like that?!
The phrase is a whole 'nother level or a whole other level if you're boring.
