Vomit randomly much? I do, my stomach, and the rest of my internal organs don't seem to have enough room to share, so I puke alot. My stomach ends up losing these space wars I envision happening in my body.

It happens when I drink, I'll drink a ton of beer, and get a Doner Kebab, and my stomach is all like "ugh" and then I'll smoke a cigarette, and my lungs are like "Stomach, dude, GTFO of the way", so my stomache is like " yeah F-it dude, I don't want whats in me anyways" So I puff on my Camel and next thing I know I'm puking behind the dumpster because my internal organs are fighting for room.

The closest thing I've had to cave adaptation was when I stayed awake for 50 hours straight this week.  Coming out of the building my class was in, I was momentarily very disoriented upon entering the bright sunlight.

For some reason I partly expected it to be dark out, lol.  My body must have thought so too, as I had to stop and take about 20 seconds to refocus and un-cave adapt, :D.

At least humans can uncave adapt, poor dwarves. *looks at puking dwarves trying to get the same pig tail sock*

Looking at the sun makes me sneeze, does that count?

Getting exposed to flashes of bright light can do that, yeah. The optic nerves are close to something else which can get interfered with if you get that much high-level optic information at once, giving you a nice sneeze reflex.

Luckily I have the "Likes working out doors" tag on.

So no I do not suffer from Cave Adaptation; well not exactly. I only suffer from mild cave adaptation, which only occurs if I am in a -z level, and in a boring class room.

That doesn't stop cave adaptation.

Yes, but it could reduce the exposure to caves.

Hmm, do dwarves that Like Working Outdoors try to stand in outdoor meeting areas instead of indoor ones, if available?

I never said it did. :(

WAIIT WAIIT! Yes I did, I'm a hypocrite now! D: By the way anyone know if there is a likes working out doors tag?

Or should I just stick to green glass roofs?

This happens to me as well, whenever I go outside from a dark place. I like to think of it as being minor cave adaptation.
