Why the leftmost one looks like has a shirt collar even though he is topless?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Tan line from his shirt collar. Modern sunscreen wasn't invented until the 30s.

My wife says the guy on the right end because "he has the sexiest diaper".

2 from the left. The grandfather of “Bigballs” from DOGE.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

I’ll take the looker on the far left. Mmmmhmm, break me off a piece of that.

The heads seem photoshopped on to the bodies. Or did the skin tone of all their faces just differ that wildly from their bodies' back then?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I think they wore longer clothes with higher colors back then. They would have a sunt tan from being outside, but only on their head.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Or a dirt tan from heavy industry and coal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Considering historic mens clothing the latter isn’t implausible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Just asked something about this, the left one looks like he has a shirt collar.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

They must all be named George cause they are absolutely gorg.

This is a genuine photograph of six men in striped bathing suits in the early 1900s. However, we've found no evidence to support the claim that it was taken at a beauty contest. 

The earliest internet postings of the photo we could find came in articles concerning the early days of swimsuit fashion. In 2012, Angus Trumble, the Director of the National Portrait Gallery of Australia in Canberra, provided a little more information about the photograph's origins.

In a brief anecdote, Trumble wrote that the photo was originally available as a postcard captioned "Schöner durch Streifen. Mitteleuropa um 1910," which translates roughly to "men made more beautiful by stripes. Central Europe around 1910."

The anecdote in question:

Last evening over an early dinner in New York a dear old friend visiting from Australia gave me this postcard which he found lately in a museum bookshop in Germany. The caption reads Schöner durch Streifen. Mitteleuropa um 1910. The first phrase is difficult to translate with equal concision, but surely means [men made more] beautiful by stripes, and presumably therefore drips with irony.

I'm not sure. The shape and position are weird. But so are his pants.

Cover up those bellybuttons, boys

Fat Tom Hanks is the only one without a moustache. He didn't stand a chance.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

He doesn't need a moustache when he's sporting that gargantuan tallywhacker.

#4 With that dazzle camouflage, ready for naval engagements

One dude without a mustache lines in a world of regrets and self loathing.

They've got those horizontal lines to accentuate the boys.

Kinda shows how fucked up our beauty standarts got...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

If anything, it shows how naive and credulous we became. Old photos with completely made up rubbish captions are now a staple of social media.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Bigorexia is a real thing nowadays. The male body standard inflation on social media is just wild.. unless you're on gear, cut down to 6% body fat and in good lighting you'd get ratio'd into oblivion

[–] [email protected] 68 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I know those words, but I don't think they're being used in a manner to which I'm accustomed.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 day ago (18 children)

Steroids or nobody likes you

Why does the guy on the left look like he's wearing a collar made of skin?

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

People used to do this weird thing called going outside. Believe it or not, they'd spend most of their waking hours doing this weird habit and they were also typically fully dressed too. It was considered scandalous to be caught outside not fully clothed. So the deadly laser that is our Sun would fry their uncovered face much faster than the skin beneath their clothes.

It's his tan line. None of those guys ever saw the sun without wearing a suit.
