The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

This is stupid. My JNCO Jeans back in the 90's would drag behind me everywhere I went. Water from puddles, bits of crap from the ground, literal crap from the ground, my JNCO Jeans picked it ALL up. I carried that shit with me, I didn't care, I looked cool as shit. When I went to the mall (Mall; noun: an ancient place of commerce) and got on the escalator, I hiked my jeans up so that the puddley excrement skimmed against my bare shins, and I wouldn't get sucked down by the demons.
Fashion is cyclical I guess, but stupidity remains constant.
While we're on fashion, I will see your JNCOs and raise you Iori Yagami's pants complete with straitjacket strap connecting both legs:
...Because when the hell else am I ever going to be able to trot out that piece of trivia? You know, perfect for a guy who kicks people for a living.
I still miss my JNCOs, though. Imagine my surprise to learn that they're apparently still around.
They're having a real comeback with the youths right now!
