Thanks, now I'm gay for construction workers

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All my life I thought I was straight.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's pretty cute, ngl. Sometimes you just gonna admire the human body. ^(and worry less about labels!)

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Who said I am worried? Just confused :)

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know about y'all, but this man's certainly erected a structure in my pants

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He works hard

And he plays hard

...... 🎵 (laser light show starts, disco ball comes down, flame bursts erupt, funky dance beat plays)... everybody dance now 🎵!!!!

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Dad? Why did you bring me to a gay dam?

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of OSHA violations

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Works in both this context and in the original

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My great grandfather worked on that dam!

I don’t think that’s him, though.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Your possibly grandfather is fuckin sexy

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm CIS, but dang that guy turns me on. What? I'm just a man and this fella is hot

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 15 points 2 years ago

Hehe, you can be cis and still like men/women/everything else. Gender is different than sexuality :)

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I'm about as straight as it gets but yeah that dude is impressive to look at.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gotta protect that noggin.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Hoover Dam project was one of the first (the first?) where hard hats were mandatory for workers on-site!

[–] PositiveNoise@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

'Make sure you wear the hard hats, boys. The shirts can go, though, and underwear...yeah, lets skip that as well. You should all be, uh, comfortable'

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

How about the pants as well

[–] TalesFromTheKitchen@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Aww man, thats the body shape I want, not overkill, just fit and lean. Maybe this year...

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 27 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Go shovel concrete for hours/days/weeks on end and start your day with oatmeal and bacon, and end it with beef stew and a whiskey. Drink bucket water throughout.

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

You had me at bucket water

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

The whiskey is the most important part

[–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And all this time, I thought it was hose water that maxed gains.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Hose water is for maintaining

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

bucket water

So what you're saying is that a tapeworm is essential...?

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

16 tons, what'll you get?

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I came here fully expecting some thirst but pleasantly surprised that the dam quenched it.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 3 points 2 years ago

"Damn" is exactly what I said upon seeing this picture

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think you got here a little too early. The dam has ruptured and we're soaking wet. 🥵

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’d hit it and I don’t even like dudes.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

More like you'd let him hit it.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Concrete zaddy

[–] androidul@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

Many from lowest-bid contractor fuckery, no less.

Calvin Klein rippin’ a beeline to sign contract.

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fucking hell

People need to lay off the pizza and do some exercise, any exercise.

So many people are so overweight. That's how most young guys should look!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuckin' A! My god, I'm about to be 53 and that was me most of my life. 6-months of hard work would put be back in that zone.

Kids: Y'all are fat. And yes, it's your fault. Yes, you have control over this situation. No, you are not powerless. No, that's not fat shaming.

[–] WHARRGARBL@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kids: It’s your fault for not performing grueling manual labor 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no worker protections, in the Mojave fuckin Desert, whilst contending with food scarcity, during the Great Depression.

Shame on all y’all not-willing-to-die pudgekins.

[–] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It builds character.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm Gen X. It's amazing when I go back and watch shows and movies from my childhood that had a token fat character in them, because that character looks like an average person today. Look at Chunk from the Goonies. He was considered fat enough to have a nickname like Chunk, but he looks like the majority of kids I see now.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Have you seen Bridget Jones Diary? Rene Zellweger is supposed to represent what a fat woman in the 90s looked like. Fuckin hell.

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

6 foot 4 and not an ounce of fat!

I wonder what he's up to these days

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Patrolling the Mojave while wishing for a nuclear winter.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Ever see old photos from around this era of what a muscled attractive man is supposed to look like? It's always some barrel chested fool with a mustache and piss poor muscle definition. If history is to be believed, women would have taken one look at this construction worker and (classism aside) thought "ew no thanks".
