Thanks, now I'm gay for construction workers

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 39 points 6 months ago

All my life I thought I was straight.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 18 points 6 months ago

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

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 10 points 6 months ago

Who said I am worried? Just confused :)

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago

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

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 months ago

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 🎵!!!!

[-] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 28 points 6 months ago

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

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Works in both this context and in the original

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

My great grandfather worked on that dam!

I don’t think that’s him, though.

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago

Your possibly grandfather is fuckin sexy

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 19 points 6 months ago

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

[-] kalistia@sh.itjust.works 23 points 6 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 :)

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 16 points 6 months ago

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

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

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

[-] TalesFromTheKitchen@lemmy.ml 18 points 6 months ago

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

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 28 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

You had me at bucket water

[-] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

bucket water

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

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

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

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 3 points 6 months ago

The whiskey is the most important part

[-] littlewonder@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

Hose water is for maintaining

[-] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

16 tons, what'll you get?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Gotta protect that noggin.

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 29 points 6 months ago

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

[-] PositiveNoise@kbin.social 11 points 6 months ago

'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'

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

How about the pants as well

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 6 months ago

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

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

More like you'd let him hit it.

Oh my goodness great gran-daddy 🥵🤤

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Concrete zaddy

[-] androidul@lemmy.ml 14 points 6 months ago

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

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 13 points 6 months ago

Many from lowest-bid contractor fuckery, no less.

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

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

[-] rosymind@leminal.space 3 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

[-] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago

Calvin Klein rippin’ a beeline to sign contract.

[-] Wanderer@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago

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!

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] WHARRGARBL@kbin.social 6 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

It builds character.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 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.

[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

6 foot 4 and not an ounce of fat!

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

"Baby .... I wanna burst open your dam ..... and watch your river flow"

Funky Walker, Dirty Talker

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

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".

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

I wonder what he's up to these days

[-] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Patrolling the Mojave while wishing for a nuclear winter.
