That’s an easy one. It’s to keep the crotch of their tights up where it belongs. As a tall woman, I had troubles with one-size-fits-all hose and would wear something over them to keep them from slowly sliding down my legs and impeding my walk. If you aren’t tall or have never worn tights or leggings, you would not know the problem.
And Beck, I haven’t been around much, but this here is for you {{{{{Becky}}}}}.
And, because early superhero costume designs (which still live on in the costume designs of older superheroes like Superman, Batman, etc.) were often borrowed from the style of costumes worn by circus strongmen and acrobats.
…which were worn that way to keep the crotch up at the human crotch where it belonged.
Seriously, keeping the tights up has been a problem ever since knitted leggings were created. Go look at the knotted ropes and ribbons (garters) they used in the Middle Ages. And that was just to keep them up on the legs, not up at the waist. Also, “memory yarn” aka spandex, had yet to be invented.
While filming Star Wars, George Lucas told Carrie Fisher that she wasn’t to wear a bra under her Princess Leia gown, because “there’s no underwear in space.”
If you can’t speak, how could you teach your dog to do so? You could press buttons, and teach your dog to press buttons, but that could only bring the dog up to your level of competence.
Having done so, I suppose it’s possible that your dog may find his own voice (metaphorically speaking) and began to express himself with greater eloquence than you had instilled in him. Personally, I think dog poetry fail to achieve any lasting artistic merits just because of the inate limitations of the medium. There just aren’t that many words that rhyme with “woof”.
I have an identical twin brother. Other people can tell us apart, but I can’t. When we were kids, he used to pretend to be me and I got really confused.
" Why is my chair an arm-chair but it can’t hug me? Ok, I know, the arms of a chair are for my arms to sit on. But arms don’t really “sit”, now do they?"
Well, your chair has at least 2 legs doesn’t it? So it needs arms for balance. Otherwise it would be a paraplegic chair.

*“When you’re watching crappy TV and these ads to help the Elephants, the St. Jude kids, the poor Jewish people in Russia, ASPCA, whichever it always asks for $19 bucks a month. Who came up with that amount?”
I called them up and asked how I could get in that program where they send me all the food I need for a month for 19 bucks but they acted liked I was trying to scam them.
