That's it? I've work jeans in 32°C

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Same in 39°

US here. I wish we'd switch to metric. It makes so much sense.

The degree of variability describing temps in Celsius makes me cringe.

If we had to stick with imperial to avoid your goofy temps, I'd have a tough decision to make.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

I love Celsius for scientific means.

I love Fahrenheit for outdoor temps at a glance. Below 0 and above 100 are the areas where you could die from being outside too long unprepared.

In Celsius it's ... below -17 and above 37... wat

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

That's kind of arbitrary though, and very dependent on humidity.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

The degree of variability describing temps in Celsius

I don’t know what you mean by that.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

They mean it's not as precise or relatable as farenheit for talking about the weather. Like in farenheit 0 is cold and 100 is hot. Also more precise from one degree to the next. I just assumed that's what they mean from reading this topic many times before, but I don't agree with it, I can kind of understand, but the relatable part is just based on what you're used to, and the precision is moot, you can go after the decimal point in Celsius if you need further precision, which you really don't when talking about the weather anyway.

My zip offs come off well before then.

"When it's 80..."

"Good lord! It's eighty degrees outside! Twenty degrees more and water is boiling! and you're messing with your pant legs, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

What's the joke? Cos I only get 17.4% of it.

After thousands of steps I'd like to have removable legs. To put them into the freezer until tomorrow and wake up to them ready for another round of abuse.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

I've wanted to invent modular clothing where a lot of the pieces are interchangeable so you just zip off the legs and zip them to your shirt on case your arms are cold but your legs aren't.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

....are your arms and legs the same length!?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

No, that's why you have to have a bunch of different modules to reconfigure. I do have relatively long arms though.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Okay so I was going to post a link to a Lego set as a joke but I can't remember the name of the theme. It was this set where these aliens could shape shift by swapping their arms and legs with other aliens. The joke being that arms and legs were interchangeable.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

You could then simply zip off some more from your belly fabric and append-zip it on your arms. Or if you're even colder, zip it on your neck to get a polo neck. Hell, ideas are coming in!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Isn't that just a wardrobe with extra steps ?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I mean the ratio between your armspan and your height are 1:1 so it wouldn't be that far of

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Look into techwear, some of what you mentioned is integrated

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The modular clothing thing is mostly a running joke between friends and I, but yeah that makes sense that techwear stuff would have that.

Better yet, when they're wearing those wide sleeve hole tank tops and you get a peek at the man tiddy while peeping those shoulder muscles

[-] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago
[-] Jax 14 points 10 months ago

Hot take: I think guys wearing those tanktops look like fucking idiots.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Even better

[-] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Key point to remember for men like me -

This only applies to men who are at least somewhat attractive.

If we go out there and do that, we'll be arrested

[-] [email protected] -4 points 10 months ago

Federating was a mistake lmaooo

[-] Shiggles 12 points 10 months ago

Correct, who let the tankie out of their echo chamber?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Gross, who let the Hexbearian in here? Now we have to fumigate.

Wait, are zip-off pant legs not high fashion?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

It's an on off fashion thing.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I have 2 pairs of those pants, but they are my fishing pants. That means I wear them while chopping a path to a fishing spot. Then I zip the legs off and go for a swim when it gets too hot to fish. They are also made from a material that dries really fast.

But they are purely utilitarian. My partner thinks I look like a dork in them. But they aren’t there when I zip the legs off and get all sexy alone in the woods. Lol.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

How can pant legs be high fashion?

They're low fashion.

He doesn't even wear pants though. Now, if the ladies saw someone wearing "cool guy" underwear...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

He doesn't now. But for one glorious episode, Beth accidentally switched to shorts and then justified it by saying they were tearaways.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Gotta show off that calf striation.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

If only men could be convinced to wear leggings in the summer 😔

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

I wear long pants year-round. Even when I worked as a greenskeeper at a golf course.
