I remember as a kid that the sun was more yellow ,now it seem more white and more intense.
You go out now and on a sunny day the sun will burn you within a minute and much hotter than it use to.

How do you all feel about it?

No, the sun is not hotter. We are not children who spend our days outside anymore. For most of us, our delicate flesh is shielded away Indoors for work and subsequently in the home afterwards. If we spend time outside, it may be for an hour jog at the park with the dog, and then back indoors.
The contrast in exposure over the years makes the flesh weaker to the sun's rays, as opposed to the years it was regularly exposed in our youth before the internet. Now kids get burned because weaponisedt signals keep them from thinking or desiring to go outside, preventing their acclimation to longer exposure times in the sun.
I can still spend hours s outside before getting burnt, unless it is between 11am and 2pm, I get burned the same as when I was a kid, within the first hour.
I am fairly certain Jupiter's spot is breaking up due to the impending arrival of planet X/Nibiru throwing our systems gravity out of whack.

The sun looks like it did to me like it did 30+ years ago. Eye of the beholder and all that. I feel no more intensity than I remember as a kid other than I am older....which couldnt possible be a factor...it must be something else.
The Earth's atmosphere acts as a kind of light filter. Some colors are filtered more than others. The Sun is a yellow star, but the Earth's atmosphere makes the Sun look more yellow than it appears than if you were to observe it from space where it would appear more white than yellow. But you don't have to leave Earth to see that the Sun is really less yellow than it appears. If you are in the Rocky Mountains at 11,000 ft elevation, the Sun looks less yellow and more white than it does at sea level.
The finding suggests that the thermosphere, the part of the atmosphere rising from 90 to 1000 kilometres above Earth, is cooling and decreasing in density by two to five per cent per decade.

I don't ever remember an spf of 8-9. When I was a child in the nineties, it was 30-50. I suppose it is still the case today. If it was lower a decade or two prior, it is probably just due to advances in the formulas And gained knowledge about the sun.
For both sexes the median SPF increased, on average, by one unit per year, from SPF 5 in 1997 to SPF 20 in 2016.
The quantity of sunscreen applied increased from 0.48 mg/cm2 in 1992 to 0.57 mg/cm2 in 2016.
Thus, the frequency of sunscreen use, the SPF, and the quantity of sunscreen applied have increased in the recent decades
