We wear light clothes because we’re not cold. How exactly would they suffer from hypothermia without being hypothermic?
It’s just a joke my dude. We’ve all seen that guy walking around in -30c wearing cargo shorts.
I thought it was my body my choice.
Tell me what else I should do with my life. Tell me of the future.
This used to be me as a teenager. Hated pants. Turns out, I was poor growing up and had never had a pair of pants that actually fit me properly.
If his legs had to be amputated would he just wear shorter shorts?
If his shorts always cover half his legs, how many amputations would it take before he has 0 leg?
This is known as the Chino’s Paradox
Yes. Must. Have. Exposed. Stumps.
It’s a point of pride.
For me it’s comfort. I’d rather deal with being a little cold outside over being too hot inside, especially if I’m only outside for a half hour tops.
This is the way.
Given your perpetuation of one of the most annoying parts of reddit I don’t believe your username at all!
I am not fond of how they conduct their business… but that wasn’t as good nickname 😃
Lol, is there a character limit for Lemmy usernames?
Don’t think so but reddit_should_not_treat_developers_and_their_userbase_like_shit_for_profit doesn’t roll off the tongue as smoothly
This is the way.
I’m kinda like that, except with jean pants instead of shorts
Same! I had a few leg surgeries as a kid and liked to cover the scars, but even now that they’re faded, I like just picking out some jeans and not having to think about it. I’ve never really had an issue with my legs getting too hot, either, though where I live it’s cold more often than not.

I wear shorts because my body saw the “sweat” in sweatpants and took it as a challenge for all pants.
I know a guy who always wears shorts, even in freezing winter temperatures. Hell, he got married in shorts.
You know my brother?!
There is hope ?

They just don’t get cold!
Hey now. I don’t even own shorts.
No one in my town wears shorts unless there’s a heat advisory, or they’re a tourist.
Which town?
It don’t get that cold.
I won’t speak for all “white dudes” but I know why I do it.
First, my thermostat is just different from average. If it’s 70F/21C, there’s a very high chance I’m going to be sweating, especially if I’m indoors and there’s limited air movement or I’m outdoors and there’s any bit of direct sunlight. Shorts make that a bit more bearable.
Second, given my warm nature, the climate where I live and my lifestyle make wearing shorts practical for much of the year. In the “colder” months of the year, it’s usually a case where it’s cold in the morning but warms up to a reasonable extent during the day. Guess what? I have an indoor, office job. I don’t give a flip about how cold it is during the early parts of the day because I’m going to be indoors where the temperature is pretty much guaranteed to be above the 70F/21C limit I mentioned in my first point. By the time I’m off work and out of the office in the evening, it’s warmed up to the point where shorts are totally appropriate and comfy (for me). Sure, I could waste time and energy doing multiple wardrobe changes throughout the day, but that’s just bullshit and quite frankly, stupid, if I don’t have to do it.
Third, who gives a fuck? Apparently a lot of people – as it’s very common to get questions or comments when I wear shorts during colder weather that lesser humans can’t tolerate in shorts. I don’t go around acting as the fashion police for your stupid crocs or question your multiple changes of clothes per day like you’re Beyoncé doing a concert. So leave my cargo shorts in the middle of winter alone.
simply live in a colder home. Boom, shorts problem solved. Now you can have twice the amount of irritating clothing issues that you already experience.
I’m going to be indoors where the temperature is pretty much guaranteed to be above the 70F/21C
21°C is too hot for indoors at least during the winter/autumn/spring During the summer I’d kill for 21°C
Anyways, I’d like to add that personally I just don’t feel the cold that much on my legs. I’m much more likely to get cold ears, hands and arms. If they ever find me dead of hypothermia my legs will still be at room temperature, while the rest of my body, including my feet, especially my feet, will be at absolute zero.

As a teenager, I used to go to the gym in shorts when there was a bunch of snow outside. The amount of looks I got was amusing.
Nowadays my thermostat has adjusted a bit, I even put on a sweater when it’s below 5C. No jacket until -20 though.
I went to the gym in shorts last time it snowed here. When I stopped off at a convenience store an old lady asked why I was wearing shorts and I explained the gym thing. She said “well, you have nice legs so you might as well show them off.” My annual compliment!
Man I have the exact opposite problem I’m always wearing long pants in even the hottest of days because I’m constantly doing physical labor wether it be firewood collecting or shoveling gravel I’m always having shit scraping my legs so I always want some protection also my job has me outside all day long so when winter comes around I’m wearing my pants for the cold it’s a part of my company dress code ultimately I’ve grown accustomed to work clothes to the point that comfort wear like slippers hoodies and shorts are pretty weird and uncomfortable for me for those reasons I just don’t own many shorts because I rarely use them ever
