Using the above calculator, it should take me 15 minutes to get a sunburn. I went out in the sun for a hour today, so 4x the exposure time.

I got hot, I was sweaty, but I didn’t get a sunburn. Bright beautiful day. Mostly carnivore for 8 months now. Went out at noon, peak sun time.

    I’d assume it used a non-colloquial definition of sunburn. Your skin can take a certain amount of UV light exposure, after that damage starts to build up. You won’t see that damage at first and only notice once it builds up enough for your skin to become reddened.
