People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement (see rule 6)

It depends on whether you're standing in direct sunlight for extended periods of time or not. Generally, staying in direct sunlight for extended periods of time is going to do so much to you that the albedo of your shirt isn't going to really do too much.

I have a black long-sleeve and a white long-sleeve which both promise SPF-50 (I don't really trust them fully but they do seem to work well enough). The black one definitely feels hotter in the sun.

Basically it's either ambivalent (if you're not in direct sunlight or the clothes are thick and loose so they don't transfer most of the absorbed heat to you) or white wins.
