Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

It's generally less tiring on your body, especially your back, to carry weight lower.
Bending in general both bunches up material and stretches material. Wearing a onesie means every time you crouch down you risk a wedgie, which is not an issue when wearing pants.
Nude > pants > overalls
This is correct, and for anyone looking for proof all you have to do is inspect a hiking backpack and note why they have sturdy waist straps -- to transfer the load from your shoulders to your hips. Your legs and hips are designed for supporting the rest of your body weight all day long. Your shoulders are not. If you put a heavy load on them full time (in this case, perhaps lots of stuff in your overalls pockets) you'll quickly find this out first hand. And furthermore, a constant load on your shoulders gets borne by the entirety of your spine.
I'd agree with you, for substantial weight
What I mean is, the weight of the clothes sit on your shoulders (which is a negligible amount), which i find much more comfortable than the weight on the hips (and the constriction required to keep pants from falling off).
Also, if you have a heavy tool like a cordless drill, you can hook them on overalls (to free up your hands) and the added weight won't pull them down, unlike pants
