Thanks, now I'm gay for construction workers

[–] [email protected] 40 points 7 months ago (1 children)

All my life I thought I was straight.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He's pretty cute, ngl. Sometimes you just gonna admire the human body. ^(and worry less about labels!)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Who said I am worried? Just confused :)

[–] [email protected] 36 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't know about y'all, but this man's certainly erected a structure in my pants

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He works hard

And he plays hard

...... 🎵 (laser light show starts, disco ball comes down, flame bursts erupt, funky dance beat plays)... everybody dance now 🎵!!!!

Dad? Why did you bring me to a gay dam?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of OSHA violations

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Works in both this context and in the original

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My great grandfather worked on that dam!

I don’t think that’s him, though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Your possibly grandfather is fuckin sexy

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I'm CIS, but dang that guy turns me on. What? I'm just a man and this fella is hot

[–] kalistia 25 points 7 months ago

He cerlainly is! But in this case the fact that you're cis is not really relevant, it's more the fact that you're heterosexual, which is not the same :)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

Hehe, you can be cis and still like men/women/everything else. Gender is different than sexuality :)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

I'm about as straight as it gets but yeah that dude is impressive to look at.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Aww man, thats the body shape I want, not overkill, just fit and lean. Maybe this year...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Go shovel concrete for hours/days/weeks on end and start your day with oatmeal and bacon, and end it with beef stew and a whiskey. Drink bucket water throughout.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

You had me at bucket water

[–] lingh0e 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

bucket water

So what you're saying is that a tapeworm is essential...?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Meh the incredibly acidic diet, with a black coffee wash will clear it right out

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And all this time, I thought it was hose water that maxed gains.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Hose water is for maintaining

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

The whiskey is the most important part

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

16 tons, what'll you get?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Gotta protect that noggin.

The Hoover Dam project was one of the first (the first?) where hard hats were mandatory for workers on-site!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

'Make sure you wear the hard hats, boys. The shirts can go, though, and underwear...yeah, lets skip that as well. You should all be, uh, comfortable'

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

How about the pants as well

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I’d hit it and I don’t even like dudes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

More like you'd let him hit it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I came here fully expecting some thirst but pleasantly surprised that the dam quenched it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

"Damn" is exactly what I said upon seeing this picture

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I think you got here a little too early. The dam has ruptured and we're soaking wet. 🥵

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

so many ppl lost their lives trying to build that damn thing

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Many from lowest-bid contractor fuckery, no less.

Fucking hell

People need to lay off the pizza and do some exercise, any exercise.

So many people are so overweight. That's how most young guys should look!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fuckin' A! My god, I'm about to be 53 and that was me most of my life. 6-months of hard work would put be back in that zone.

Kids: Y'all are fat. And yes, it's your fault. Yes, you have control over this situation. No, you are not powerless. No, that's not fat shaming.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Kids: It’s your fault for not performing grueling manual labor 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no worker protections, in the Mojave fuckin Desert, whilst contending with food scarcity, during the Great Depression.

Shame on all y’all not-willing-to-die pudgekins.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

It builds character.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm Gen X. It's amazing when I go back and watch shows and movies from my childhood that had a token fat character in them, because that character looks like an average person today. Look at Chunk from the Goonies. He was considered fat enough to have a nickname like Chunk, but he looks like the majority of kids I see now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Have you seen Bridget Jones Diary? Rene Zellweger is supposed to represent what a fat woman in the 90s looked like. Fuckin hell.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

6 foot 4 and not an ounce of fat!

Ever see old photos from around this era of what a muscled attractive man is supposed to look like? It's always some barrel chested fool with a mustache and piss poor muscle definition. If history is to be believed, women would have taken one look at this construction worker and (classism aside) thought "ew no thanks".
