    Anything that’s like “real American patriot” or something similar. Literally anything that calls yourself a patriot.

    Maybe an immitation of a military uniform top? Makes you look like someone who worships the military, but not enough to actually join, and who also doesn’t really respect the uniform or its implications. Thats cringy to basically anyone who looks at it, whether they like the military or hate it, but still benign enough wear in public.

    Any sexualized anime girl shirt. I don’t care if she’s clothed, it’s cringe as fuck you’re basically wearing a waifu.

      Imagine if someone just walked around with their favourite pornstar plastered on their shirt. Same thing. Wearing a picture of your wank fuel is cringe. Doesn’t matter if she’s clothed.

      Quite cringe, but having seen people around college campus with hentai hiodies and lots of “Gamer Supps” shirts, surprisingly not the cringest

    Australia already has this.

    Northern Australia is refered to as the Northern Territory or “the NT” also officially abbreviated to NT.

    Someone somewhere came up with the slogan “CU in the NT” and its usually printed with “in the” in much smaller font. Its an excuse for dumb fucks to walk around with shirts and stickers on their car with the word “Cunt” on display. For some reason I cannot fathom for the life of me.

      Tell me you are not a man without saying you are not a man.

      Any male of our species that has passed through the 12-18yo stage of life will at least understand that humour, even if they have matured beyond it.

      I roll my own eyes at shit like that, and would never employ it myself. But I can’t roll my eyes without even a tiny 12yo grin, even though it’s been four decades since I was that age.

    I have a sweatshirt that’s just the playboy logo crossed out with the circle-and-slash icon. I get a lot of weird looks in it. I bought it from a “modest clothing” retailer at a Christian music festival two decades ago.

        I’m honestly surprised they don’t make women wear sunglasses.

        “OH NO!!! THEIR EYES ARE TOO SEXY!!! IT MAKES ME GET A BONER!!!”

        I never understood that logic.

          A burqa basically does that:

          The term burqa is sometimes conflated with the niqāb even though, in more precise usage, the niqab is a face veil that leaves the eyes uncovered, while a burqa covers the entire body from the top of the head to the ground, with a mesh screen which only allows the wearer to see in front of her.

          Although those who demand it usually use religion as a justification…

          The wearing of the burqa and other types of face veils have been attested to since pre-Islamic times. Face veiling has not been regarded as a religious requirement by most Islamic scholars, either in the past or the present. A minority of scholars in the Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) consider it to be obligatory for Muslim women when they are in the presence of non-related (i.e., non-mahram) males. This is in order to prevent men from looking (perversely) at women. Additionally, this does not oblige men to wear eye-covering, but instead to lower their gaze.

            Wow. I was making absurdist observational humor, and then once again life shows me that absurdism is dead. Everything you can think of to mock has actually already been done, and for the exact reasons you would think are absurd. Instead it’s just reality.

            Can I go to a world which isn’t crazy??? Oh, Earth is the only option???
