Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Overalls are far more comfortable than pants (pawb.social)

The weight of the material is supported by your shoulders, and not your hips, which is far more comfortable in general

In addition to having more room for pockets, overalls can carry heavier things without falling down, nor need for a belt

Since the weight of the material is carried at the shoulders, bending down at the waist is easier and less restricted. The waistband no longer needs to be tight, since it no longer serves a functional purpose

I'd agree with you, for substantial weight

What I mean is, the weight of the clothes sit on your shoulders (which is a negligible amount), which i find much more comfortable than the weight on the hips (and the constriction required to keep pants from falling off).

Also, if you have a heavy tool like a cordless drill, you can hook them on overalls (to free up your hands) and the added weight won't pull them down, unlike pants
