Thanks, now I'm gay for construction workers

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All my life I thought I was straight.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Who said I am worried? Just confused :)

[–] PP_BOY_ 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year 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 🎵!!!!

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] creditCrazy 8 points 1 year ago

Works in both this context and in the original

[–] AbouBenAdhem 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My great grandfather worked on that dam!

I don’t think that’s him, though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Your possibly grandfather is fuckin sexy

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

He cerlainly is! But in this case the fact that you're cis is not really relevant, it's more the fact that you're heterosexual, which is not the same :)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

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

[–] agent_flounder 15 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year 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 11 points 1 year ago

You had me at bucket water

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

bucket water

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

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

Meh the incredibly acidic diet, with a black coffee wash will clear it right out

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

The whiskey is the most important part

[–] littlewonder 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

Hose water is for maintaining

[–] Th3D3k0y 7 points 1 year ago

16 tons, what'll you get?

[–] someguy3 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gotta protect that noggin.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year 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 4 points 1 year ago

How about the pants as well

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

More like you'd let him hit it.

[–] clearedtoland 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

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

[–] Lemminary 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

so many ppl lost their lives trying to build that damn thing

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Many from lowest-bid contractor fuckery, no less.

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 10 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year 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 2 points 11 months ago

It builds character.

[–] Anticorp 9 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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 7 points 1 year ago

6 foot 4 and not an ounce of fat!

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".
