Posting pictures of Soviet women in bikinis to r/oldschoolcool and turning the whole subreddit Marxist-Leninist because they're all super horned up for some reason.

JK they'd actually probably call the pictures fake.

I once showed my lib sister pictures of my Polish ex's grandpa taking his family on a trip to a lake where they were all swimming and having picnics and shit.

She's insisted it must be fake because the concept of someone going on a nice lake trip in the USSR was inconceivable.

The entire USSR in the liberal mind as it's always pictured in all Western media: one continuous tract of depressing brutalist apartment blocks in the middle of a snowstorm, and also Siberia and bears, and barbed wire everywhere.

Never even heard that one, that the USSR banned bikinis.

I don't know why but i've never really liked bikinis. I've always preferred a little more covered up, more imagination? Not sure really but I just like it more.

The string bikini that was popular in the 80s through the 00s usually isn't flattering on most body types or on a body in motion. Even when I had a BMI of like 18 those things would flatten my breasts downward, give me back rolls from the tiny straps that need to be pulled tight to keep the thing on, and for whatever reason never covered my actual vulva, looking like I had two sets of labia majora. Even a standard "bikini" depilation routine isn't sufficient... You would need to remove basically all the hair for none of it to be visible.

Since I had a kid I wear one pieces with trunks and I don't even have stretch marks or ab separation. I can't even imagine herding a toddler in what I wore 10 years ago. I'm grateful to qualifyfor the "mom" uniform.

Especially with how grabby they get agony-mescaline

It looks better anyway.

Same... Lenin and Krupskaya were literally nudists.

It’s only a bikini if it post-dates the nuclear annihilation of a South Pacific atoll. Otherwise it’s just a sparkling swimsuit.

“Gradual transition?” Did the Soviet Union collapse because everyone became trans due to lack of semen retention?

I learned in a thread yesterday that semen retention makes men attractive to women. Bikinis cause fapping, which makes men unattractive to women, which makes men go trans and it also makes women go trans because it’s all held together by semen.

it’s all held together by semen.

Has anyone tested whether it can improve the strength of concrete?
