> [@running\_coach](#): > > I prefer sunglasses that don’t have pieces popping out. Then maybe these aren’t the glasses for you, but the piece won’t just pop out on its own. It’s much easier to pop the piece in than out. It’s designed that way so you can wear an open bridge most of the time, but close it if you are boating or skiing so water or snow could come through the open bridge. ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > Anyone wonder if the adult onesies company got a big boost in sales after he posted here? > >   😛 This thread has seen a lot of posts that aren’t really about trolls, so I’m gonna add another one. A “onesie” is a one-piece garment worn by infants. It has short sleeves and no covering for the legs. It snaps closed at the infant’s crotch. There is no such thing as an “adult onesie.” And if there was, it would not be a one-piece pajama with feet in it. That garment is called “footie pajamas.” ---

They are mostly intended as loungewear or sleepwear, but have gained significant popularity as stylish streetwear, especially in the United Kingdom and Australia, becoming increasingly popular during the late 2000s and early 2010s as a street fashion.

The purpose of the opening at the crotch is to facilitate access to the infant's diaper as well as preventing the garment from riding up the infant's body and exposing skin. Like T-shirts, infant bodysuits come in a wide variety of designs and may be worn as under... It’s also worth noting that in the USA, the term “onesie” most often refers to the infant jumpsuit, but outside of the country (particularly in the UK and Australia) it is more common to hear references to adult onesies. This has been especially true in the last decade. It’s an evolving term (as language tends to be). ---

Note to self: you’re sharing the planet with people who are wrong about stuff. A non-comprehensive list includes: the validity of calling a game with Designated Hitters “baseball”; the validity of calling radical reactionaries “conservatives”; the number of valid ways to use the word “onesie.” ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > I prefer sunglasses that don’t have pieces popping out. That’s because you are a common peasant. If you were familiar with the aristocracy, you would understand that the titled nobility, when engaged in the occasional hobby of personally preparing pasta for their guests, traditionally wear their $2250 New & Lingwood unlined silk dressing gowns over their onesies, and adorn themselves with “Vuarnet Legend 03” sunglasses. So when the manservant holds His Lordship’s unlined silk dressing gown stretched loosely over the sink to form a _passoire d’excellence_, it is ideally positioned to catch the little piece of plastic that inevitably pops out of the “Vuarnet Legend 03” sunglasses (with an audible “pop”) while His Lordship drains the spaghetti, thus preventing said piece from being lost down the sink. Sadly, unless quickly found in the pasta, that plastic piece of “Vuarnet Legend 03” may end up inadvertently being served to the Prince of Wales in his Spaghetti Bolognese. Such are the tribulations of the privileged classes. ---
