I made this just to prove you were just making fun of him for being fat.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The truth emerges. It's not gender, it's the volume that matters.

[–] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it the volume or the mass that matters? What if someone was wearing an inflatable suit and then overalls on top of the inflatable suit?

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 6 points 1 week ago

I can't speak to the inflatable part, but people in fat suits that weigh little, they still look fat.

Alternate wording:

Attractive people in overalls

Unattractive people in overalls

Attractive people

Unattractive people

More like people in redneck costume. Pretty sure they could look much better if they were wearing everyday clothing or a better fitting overall.

Edit: both straps are right of their nipples, and their face is overexposed and they are glinting due to glare

So we're bodyshaming, are we?

It's from a show. Letterkenny. A Canadian comedy about some wholesome farmers in a small town.

[–] solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

First thing I thought of too!

[–] StarryPhoenix97@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I would love to go to a super-soft birthday party!

If you end up liking it, they made a hockey spinoff called Shoresy that is also fantastic

[–] ShawiniganHandshake@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This might sound ridiculous but I recommend watching with subtitles on. The accents are strong and the dialog is quick.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Almost every form of video media is improved by having subtitles on, regardless of how discernible the dialog is. There are exceptions, mostly due to bad subtitling, but it's nigh universally true.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Eww, I got classist identity politics propaganda in my feed.

Don't spread classist propaganda. Overalls are sturdy trousers for heavy work. The one on the top's job is to look pretty. The one on the bottom does some hard, manual labour in these clothes.

I'm not saying one's better than the other. Just that these people are graded on the same scale thah different jobs don't satisfy.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Interesting take. I didn't see this as classist. I saw this as attractiveness preference. OP is only attracted to people in overalls if they have big manly hands that they use to save you or feed you.

That said, my wife looks great in overalls so I don't agree with OP.

[–] argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think it counts as “overalls” if it only covers half his torso.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's what the garment is called. The ones with sleeves and everything are called coveralls.

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago (6 children)

My dictionary says these are dungarees.

The trick might be not to be ugly.

[–] decipher_jeanne@jlai.lu 13 points 1 week ago

See we just made a post about how joking about women doing plastic surgery isn't funny.

But this isn't even that. It's straight up not a mene. It's just you telling you find fat men in overall repulsive. That's your choice. But it's not a meme

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

meme in flipped order feel more wrong

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Happy cake day.

edit: TIL that if you comment this in Blorp you get some confetti. Neat!

In German those things are called „Latzhose“ which means „bib-pants“, and I think that’s beautiful.

If he was playing in a jug band he’d be cool too.

I miss overalls. I don’t think I could pull it off now.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They're really easy, you just undo the two buttons near your shoulders.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

why are they called overalls if they don't go over all body parts?

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well there was Lawnmower Man which featured a pretty hot dude in just overalls, although, he had the mind of a child, so as a child myself I had a confused boner over that. But otherwise yeah, even the gays can't make overalls hot.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I see you've never encountered a twink in shortalls.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

In the original short story, I believe the dude was more like the one in the image posted here. The movie was so unrelated to the short story it was almost impressive.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Insulated work overalls in winter get a pass from my wife too.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

if they adult guy is hot, or buff then overalls is different.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is exactly it. Hot people don't need fashion to look hot, it's just the fuckers in the middle that want us all to think clothes are so important
