While in the european metric it would be: dress for the 40's

They look stupid. And contagious.

Yes, I know who this is (and isn't).

The 3 on the left look like the same person, just in different poses

we are a tribal species and want to "fit in" with our peers

Or….short pants and no socks is a successful piece of clothing for warmer weather.

i have a lot of short pants and no-sock suitable shoes, and exactly none of them are one of the 3 colors represented in this picture of kids who clearly made their clothing decisions based on "what's everyone else doing?"

Ooof…I can smell the sweat and cig stained leather from here.

i was born late in the decade but am willing to bet that's just what the 70s smelled like

What? The 90s are equivalent to hot years? Or wasn't there any winter fashion for the 90s? I don't understand I don't get it me dumb

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

fahrenheit temperatures in the 90s are hot temperatures

That was typical-ish summer wear.

For winter, it was closer to this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure but that doesn't explain the joke to me

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Dress for the 90s" as in temperature. 90F I guess. Because dressing for 90C would be like.. Spacesuits.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Omg it's a pun... I get it now. I'm not used to fahrenheit temps

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Instead of going by boiling water, we go by 0=cold AF outside and 100=hot AF outside

(This is a joke and I'm not saying its superior to celsius)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

That is the genuine argument I see people use to defend farehnheit so this checks out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Be careful too much radical.

The third guy looks cold, someone should give him some heroin to warm up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

He should ask the guy on the left. I hear he does it a lot.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago

Celsius is so old fashioned.
