    I became disappointed when I zoomed in to realize she had a wallet chain and not a sproingy yellow coiled lanyard thing that was somehow attached to her phone. (Sorry, Amazon link: One of these)
    I don’t know why. I guess I just thought the idea was kind of cute and fun. This dad-fucking, bacon grease swilling, subway texter uses a cute little bouncy cord thing to keep her phone handy, amidst an otherwise austere getup - just a zany detail to contrast with the rest. Alas. Just a boring ass wallet chain.

      👀 I’m sorry to say this, but I actually might be getting some version of these. It WOULD be cute, imo, and they (especially the brightly-colored ones) make me feel little nostalgic.

      I lose my phone embarrassingly frequently. I have a wrist/necklace strap now, but I really don’t enjoy walking around with my annoyingly heavy phone dangling from my neck/wrist all the time, so I rarely actually use them.

      I’ll probably be finding away to attach a keyring to my TV remote, too 🙄

        Don’t be sorry to say that! I think the idea is pretty darn cute. When everyone tells you how amazingly stylish, practical, and clever you are, remember me!
        (But take all the credit for the idea for yourself - unless some poor fashionless soul doesn’t like it, then definitely blame me for a bad suggestion.)

        My wife has one of the neck strap ones, and she doesn’t like wearing it for the same reason. My brain just assumed they took one of the mounting plates from one of those and hooked it to one of those sproingy straps.

        Remotes are tough. We have a dedicated holder that is just where each remote goes as soon as it is no longer touching a hand, because they otherwise do get lost. Despite that, I’ve even considered 3d printing an AirTag holder that I can glue to the remotes, although that would just mean pointing my phone at the couch while it tells me they’re somewhere ‘in there.’

    Cringe.

    She must have been fucking our dads every night for years.

    Edit: Lol at the downvotes, if you want to wear an edgy shirt in public you’re going to have to expect some edgy retorts and furthermore I think anything that attempts to normalise obesity is absolutely terrible. I know I have to accept that some people are fat, and good for her if she’s happy at that size, but I don’t have to accept edgy excuses for someone else’s poor choices.

        37 downvotes, yet no one brave enough to put their neck on the line and offer a counterpoint. So yh, I made an assumption and yet still no one has made a counterpoint which means I’m probably right 🤷🏼‍♂️

          I’ll reply: no one is offering a retort because your comment is weird, pointless, and not worth the time or effort to give a genuine response to. Your edit makes it even more obvious that you just wanted to stir shit and get in bad faith arguments over a silly picture

          If you want to write edgy replies, you have to expect some downvotes. I think that attempts to normalize toxicity and trolling online are absolutely terrible. I know I have to accept that some people are provocateurs, but I don’t have to accept excuses for their poor behavior.

      You do have to accept that you sometimes have bad takes like errybody else, and this is one of them.

      It’s not because you made a bad joke, its because you lack the emotional intelligence necessary to ask some things:

      • The likely continuous comments on her figure that caused her to wear this retort

      • The fact that if you werent gonna make a comment to her shes not talking to you

      These 2 things are often conflated in folks who haven’t trained their empathy up, and i suspect you feel like you took damage because even tho you’re not in the room your acting like she’s insulted you.

      I know I have to accept that some people are fat

      You don’t, you have to accept your humanity, which means you’re the same ugly mess of hair and stink and poo as the rest of us. It means you are an unfit judge. Somebody thinks you’re ugly. Someone out there thinks you’re a piece of shit. I think you’re just young. You need to understand your place, and you straight up fuckin’ dont.

      To be a bit unfair youre probably a little too full of yourself, you’ll get over it if you put in work.

      your retort sucks because you’re trying to own her by saying something she already acknowledges. weak af.

      “I’m fat because I fucked your dad”

      “oh yeah? well you’re fat!”

      …

      “I bet you fucked my dad a lot!”

      genius insults

        People seem to love to jump to this assumption without acknowledging any fallibility, when in reality you don’t know from just looking at someone. Even if it’s a likely reason, it’s not the only one. I’m going to at least hope you aren’t a doctor based on this single sentence.

          Excluding weight gain from corticosteroids or something exotic like elephantiasis, it is literally always overeating. I’m prone to it, and nobody can consider it an individual moral failing when obesity has become a massive global epidemic. But there’s genuinely no getting around the fundamental reality that it’s calories in, calories out. Apparently the majority of humans overeat when living a sedentary lifestyle with a readily available food surplus. The incredible success of GLP-1 agonists really hammers that point home if anyone was still unconvinced.

            “excluding [things I know about], it is literally always [the only other thing I know about.]” Again, I stress fallibility.

                Look, I’ve tried taking a day to reply because this comment pissed me off so much. I watched my mother count calories as a kid and it emotionally scarred me. She wasn’t suffering from the examples you gave. I don’t care to share personal details and shouldn’t have to for you to be aware you may not know everything.

    If you reversed the gender on this you’d the comment section would be a combination of roasting the hypothetical dude and complaining how trashy the shirt is.

    I don’t even think the double standard is related to sexism. I think you’re all horny degenerates who are emotionally stunted to the point where any woman implying anything sexual breaks your mind.

      I thought the same thing and I’m still not convinced that’s not what’s going on. I remember in the '90s so many people were putting chains to their wallets, you know wear your money is… Well your cell phone is probably attached to one of your accounts, so it’s money. This weirdly makes sense to me.

        I think it makes perfect sense, and a cool retro throwback. Fashion is cyclical after all! But I think the other poster was correct and she just has it fed through 2 belt loops.

          I just heard today that you’re considered old if you wear ankle socks now. It was the opposite when I was younger, not wearing ankle socks made you look old and out of fashion.
