I like shorts.
They’re comfy and easy to wear.
I’m actually wearing a skort.
I want someone to make a comic strip of a skort-wearing skwerl that goes to skool.
I also want that. Wish I could draw.
You can!

I used to laugh at that little boy who said shorts are comfy and easy to wear, but by God was he right about it.
Top percentage right here
!
battle music ensues
I often would rather be cold in shorts than uncomfortable in pants
Loose comfy sweatpants are the exception to this, and work from home has spoiled regular pants for me
…I hate when people only look at clothes for fashion and their appearance. Clothes sound be more functional then anything.
I’ve seen people try to say that shorts are “unprofessional” but my counter is being a sweaty mess is worse. If it isn’t cold enough to warrant pants, in wearing shorts!
Yes. The idea of what’s professional needs to adapt to our changed climate. If I dressed like that in the summer heat I’ma pass out.
I’m baffled how much people care about other people’s clothing. It’s childish. How do shorts or pants have anything to do with professionalism?
Hi! I like shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear!
Time for a battle!
Ugh this is what I have to deal with. I have to wear slacks when I go to work and it’s awful right now in this hot weather.
I agree but for me shorts are bad because they reveal more of “me”. They also make my shoes look even bigger if my pants aren’t going over them.
Why do we design other buildings than concrete cubes? Why do we plant trees on the side of the road? Why do we put paintings in our hallways? Why do we paint our walls anything other than hospital grey? Why do websites have CSS? Why do we gift each other flowers?
Esthetics, self-expression, culture. Fashion is the most personal form of self-expression, it should not be a surprise that people care about it so much.
I don’t care if you wear socks and sandals, you don’t have an obligation to partake in cultural norms, but going all the way around to “fashion is stupid and clothes are just there for wind protection” is nihilistic beyond usefulness.
Clothes have function over style. If you pick style over function, you’re in for a bad time.
They still build buildings with a strong foundation regardless of how pretty it looks…function Over style still wins.
Trees provide protection from sun. Function over style.
It depends.
Shop clothes/yellow jacket? All function (usually).
Literally any clothes when it’s 30+ °C outside? Style/cultural norms.Most situations sit somewhere in the middle, but most people care at least a little bit about style. It’s not a fight, and I don’t understand why you frame it as such. It’s perfectly possible to wear functional clothes that also fit and with colors that don’t clash (actually most people who say they don’t like fashion have ill-fitting clothes, which is less functional).
I also wear Tevas( sandals) ! Of course I also haven’t had a date in years…
Because you’re happily married, right?
Right???
Holy crap going through that section in (EDIT: Pokémon) Red was more or less hell
You don’t wear shorts because legs, I don’t wear shorts for mosquito defense. We are not the same LMAO
I am a mosquito banquet actually. There’s always a bite on the back of my knee even if I wear pants.
Legs are just arms with shitty hands.
Arms are just legs with shitty feet.
Nah our hands make much better foot substitutes than our feet do hands substitutes. Walking on your hands is way easier than trying to paint a masterpiece or code for hours with your feet!
Nah, check out some apes, they’ve got opposable thumbs on their feet. Our feet are objectively worse, you can only stand on them.
We’re a lot better at standing, walking, and running long distances. Not sure if I’d say objectively worse, just better at different things (but objectively way less cool than peeling a banana and eating it with your feet).
We’re a lot better at standing, walking, and running long distances.
I spend significantly less time doing those things than doing activities that would benefit from having more hands.
I propose retractable foot thumbs, so you can have human-like feet for walking and monkey-like feet for playing the piano with your toes
A lot of body parts would be better retractable but that would also be quite the unprecedented mechanism, so durability wouldn’t be great. Sadly, it just wouldn’t be practical
You may have discovered the secret of how to return to monke.
Heh in German the word for gloves is literally hand shoe. So you’ve a very German pov.
Same in Dutch. Handschoen.
Neovictorianism in the time of onlyfans is exactly what I was expecting in 2024
Neo victioroanism has been around for a while. Fainting couch feminism as is called.
This is such a trans tweet lol
I feel that way as a cis guy. :(
It’s not unheard of among cis men too, my dad was always struggling to bulk up his legs because he thought they looked too skinny. Trans people just tend to be extra vulnerable to feeling pressure about their bodies, both for dysphoria reasons and societal reasons.
There’s body dysmorphia too, which affects cisgender people. In my case it would be more the body hair I guess. And unfortunately shorts on men is also still kinda stigmatized, which is of course perceived worse for people who already struggle with their own body or have anxiety issues.
I think this applies to almost everybody.
Maybe. It doesn’t apply to me. I love shorts, I love my legs.
Haven’t shaved my legs since 2019 and it’s the best. I only shave my pits at this point because my sweat smells worse with hair there. Everything else is free, as nature intended.
Opposite here. Used to never shave. Shaved and the smoothness is intoxicating. It’s a pain to do tho.
Taking the time to do it is part of why I stopped. I have better shit to do than worry about body hair that’s there for a reason lol.
A… are you all women? Or are men like supposed to shave their legs too and somebody forgot to tell me?
No one is supposed to do anything.
Were hurling through space on the crust of a molten core rock, orbiting an angry fusion reactor.
Do whatever, star stuff
Exactly!
I’m a woman, but can’t speak for anyone else here. Also, you do realize that anyone can shave as little or as much as they want regardless of gender, right?
Of course, my comment was mostly intended humorously.
At the same time, social norms and customs do exist and while anyone is free to ignore them, I was also curious if it had become common for men to shave their legs when wearing shorts.
I’m glad the social norms say I don’t have to shave anything because when it grows back, it drives me insane for about 2 weeks.
Let me get you another copy of that memo, mmmkay?
Well, I suppose the shorts weren’t going to shave themselves.
My comfort clothes are jeans. I wear them year round in Houston Texas. I’m also pale as a ghost.
Jean shorts exist.
I’m not much of a jorts man
Whatever you do, don’t spill blood on your jorts
Now I’m going to have BDG’s Old Bay jingle in my head all day because that’s how my brain works. Thanks?
May our legs provide light and guidance to those lost in the night.

You clearly have not lived with 32°C
It’s going to be 34 here this week. I’ll probably be at home in my underwear.
when it’s anything above +25, i stay at home naked with my ac on. if i have to go somewhere, linen shorts and t. and i still sweat like a pig.
You’re at home. Who cares. Be comfortable
You wear underwear at home?
My woofy gets cold otherwise…
When it’s really hot and humid (like this week), boxer briefs keep my balls from sticking to my legs.
I come from the north; anything above 20° and I graduate to the shorter shorts.
Anything above 8° is shorts weather unless you’re hiking. Going by your instance though, I guess hiking isn’t an option for you.
I usually say 10° but the threshold often strays a bit lower. Yeah, not much hiking to be done around here, ha, actually I’ve just been travelling somewhere a bit further south and I looked out the window and said “hills! I remember these!”
It could be 40 and I wouldn’t even consider purchasing shorts.
You must enjoy some schweddy balls
Idc legs are hot 🦵🤤🥵
the truth
i fucking love shorts because i can show off my meteoric thunder thighs to the world and slay the day
Who cares how your legs look like? Do you also always cover your arms because you don’t like people seeing them?
Never. I don’t care what people believe in their religion but I think nothing is stupider than religions that make you wear clothes that cover you all over.
I saw a little Muslim girl diving into a pool one day in a heavy plaid shirt and a hijab, and I just couldn’t believe how stupid that is. You’re like 8, what’s sexual about you?
The Prophet Muhammad married an 8-year-old. That kind of puts it into perspective.
Well yes, but in the modern day world I think a little kid should be able to play in the pool with other kids unencumbered. I actually hate hijabs and think they’re oppressive AF.
I agree, and I think they should have been free to do what they wanted back then too.
Long sleeves ftw
I have no idea why but for many years I felt this way too. Then it just went away and I have no idea why I would be embarrassed about my legs. Shorts are great!
Did you perhaps become a father?
Does becoming a father make you less body conscious?
Sometimes…
Not even close!
Did you get a job as a postman?
Haha, nope, not this one too.
TBH I think I just became less self conscious and more confident about my body when I started exercising.
This is how it happened for me too. I started lifting and now comfortably wear shorts short enough to show some thigh lol
