Dude had some weird body proportions.

He's the older idea of 'barrel chested'.

Now slightly updated to Elon Musk's 'low poly truck chested'.

the high waist pants doesn’t help.

It's funny that they went out of fashion at the same time people started getting fat

High rise trousers belt above the hips, giving no chance of showing a plumber's crack, holding them up solidly

Barrel-faced, too

Don't be facist.

Which, I assume, is a racist for faces.

Some Alex Jones body vibes.

No kidding! Just how big is that HEAD?

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It's not that big if you live in a swamp and your roommate is a donkey.

All dudes had that barrel chest back then

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 35 points 10 months ago

I think it's an illusion due to wearing their pants to their tits.

That and a gut behind the high belt yeah, but I think there was also a popular posture folks tried to give themselves in for photos
