Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Men, what's preventing you to dress like this?

The fact that my girlfriend would die from laughter if I did.

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

Life insurance for her, buddy

[–] Spicy_Canada_Dry@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

i dont want my balls squished. and want to be comfortable

[–] M137@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

Not wanting to look like Douchebag McDouchebagface is what's stopping people from looking like that.

Dudes look like a still image for a gay fashion themed Sims 4 pack

[–] Bremmy@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The gays probably have better fashion sense

[–] rivan@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Real ones know gays mostly wear carharts and dickies

[–] Nuxleio@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Gay men are disproportionately the victims of this fashion disaster, not the perpetrators stop the stigma

[–] rivan@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I said this because I spent my teenage years downloading, installing, and abusing such mods.

[–] Nuxleio@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

I was making a joke but it maybe didn't land right oops

[–] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 18 points 6 days ago

They almost look shrink wrapped

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 6 days ago

I've managed to buy clothes since I left the eighth grade.

[–] slouching_employer@lemmy.one 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Give it about ten years and the popular style will pendulum back to fitted/tight clothing.

Just like it was before the current baggy trend and after the previous baggy trend, which was preceded by another tight trend, which was preceded by another baggy trend, and so on and so on

I wonder how much momentum there is in that pendulum?

I think it started swinging (at least in America) in the 30's. Between the scarcity of the depression and rationing during the war, fashions tended toward minimal. Then in the abundance of the 50's you got big puffy poodle skirts and zoot suits because we finally had a surplus.

They're all wearing leggings of assorted fabrics and styles.

[–] bingBingBongBong@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

All my trousers are too tight, it's the washing machine I swear

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

That moment when you have a pair of 36 and 44 waist shorts from the same company and both fit the same. Then you put on a 38 and they fall off your ass and a 40 is to tight. If there was more quality control in clothes I'd probably be a lot more apt to shop

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Just wash everything on cold, except if there's a specific stain to remove that needs hot water.

One of today's lucky 10000! Search YouTube for jabroni always sunny for the source of the term being used outside wrestling

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It means 'loser' It comes from the word 'jobber' who is a type of pro wrestler who's role is to lose and make the other guy look strong going in to more meaningful matches. (Synonyms: jabroni, enhancement talent, job guy, carpenter, fall guy) Often these are young wrestlers cutting their teeth in the business. But there are some wrestlers who specialize in the role. Note: some wrestlers (jobbers) find the word 'jobber' to be insulating, insinuating they are in the role due to lack of talent. The term enhancement talent is considered more respectful.

Thank you. TIL.

Junk too big, I'm too fat, and it's a douchy style when taken to the extreme of the photo. Wearing well fit clothes is good, but this is something else.

I regularly have trouble finding pants where the crotch doesn't crush things or make it look like I'm smuggling sausage, the waist is wide enough, and the legs don't look like they're parachutes. Usually settle for two of the three.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

What's this? The chess club? Robotics? They look like nerds. Twerps even. Real dorks.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

the pants look like they'll rip any second

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 days ago

Yeah, how do they expect to sit.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Guy on the left looks good to me honestly. The other three take it too far for my tastes but Lefty's hot

[–] shirro@aussie.zone 1 points 6 days ago

Testicles descent outside the body for good biological reasons.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 69 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Guy in the beige shirt accidentally came out wearing his little brother's face.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I think he threw his clothes in the dryer, then smoothed his face onto the door for the whole cycle.

This is an example of more dollars than sense. They look terrible and paid good money for the privilege.

That second guy is one fart away from a public nudity charge.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think you should subject everyone in public to having to see the entire shape of your cock and balls in pants that are so tight you can't even walk in them.

[–] solomon42069@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago

Well I'm a pervert, and that's a hard disagree from me. Very hard.

[–] don@lemm.ee 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m not a complete fucking bellend.

"What's preventing you from dressing like this?"

My moderate self esteem.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 33 points 1 week ago

I can't stand tight clothes especially shirts. There are very few things more annoying and uncomfortable than a shirt that desperately wants to burrow into your armpit.

As for the pants I can't say I'd enjoy needing a changing partner:

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

What's preventing me? For one, actually having taste in clothing.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I am not dressing for you. I am dressing for my own comfort and to satisfy legal requirements.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 21 points 1 week ago (5 children)

They've all got chicken legs
