That's wild

This is from 10 years ago and the first instance I found of it on reddit they were already complaining about it being a repost

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 118 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Would unironically work. Easiest ice-breaker in the world. Grandma's still a woman. She knows what floods her basement.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 47 points 4 days ago (3 children)

She should get that looked at....

Man walks down the street wearing that, you know he's not afraid of anything.

Attractive people can wear pretty much anything and it'll look good.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 66 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thats what I was thinking.

This MF so handsome women will use it as an excuse to approach him and ask and then he will tell them his 90yo grandma made it for him to wear to parties and they will immediately get spontaneously pregnant.

You just summed up the entire designer clothing industry.

Grandma can't see the pins anymore to take them out.
She made me a lovely quilt. I'm pretty sure I'll never be done pulling pins out of it.

Treat that vest very carefully for a while. No sudden moves.

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

Don't hug people too tight either

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 15 points 4 days ago

Been there. I use a magnet broom. ~$20 at harbor freight.

grandma got these pins with really big (like dime sized) heads so she can see them all. she got sick of losing them.

When I was a kid, my grandmother made my pajamas. She was probably in her 70s at the time and could see fine. Still, I ALWAYS got liked by a pin or two. It just became part of the charm from Granny.

The Noah's ark theme is a bit much for me but besides that he looks surprisingly cool with it

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 35 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Is there an ark on there? I thought it was just a depiction of Africa.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 66 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It's gonna take a lot to drag it away from him, there's nothing that 100 men or more could ever do.

All the animals are in pairs of two, there's one side of the chest with clouds and the other side with sun and a single white dove like the one who brought Noah the branch to signal the water was retreating...yeah it's definitely a Noah's ark theme

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

lol I’m pretty sure Moses was not on the ark. Was this the director’s cut?

All the animals are in pairs and they seem to be going in the same direction. There's also a single dove in the sky. It might be a depiction of the animals after the flood. It's not suuuuper obvious but I also thought of that story.

I know the OP's legitimacy is in question, but, if my grandma got/made me a vest to wear "to parties" you'd never see me not wearing it. Regardless of what was on it.

The original poster was a filthy liar, so that invalidates any wholesomeness in the image, but you know.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 41 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I would wear that like a boss.

It would help if you look like the guy in the pic

[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 43 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The virgin overpriced brand vs. the Gigathad grandma vest.

Edit: No sarcasm, no jokes.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm going to cry now, these clothes have a real soul, unlike these empty branded things.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It would, if the OP wasn't a complete fabrication.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, you're right, because of this damn AI the internet will finally die and turn into a minefield, in that case I'll leave the internet forever, so to speak, goodbye my dear, you were like a brother to me.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

So long and thanks for all the fish? I guess?

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That vest is absolutely epic. One can only wear it if they truly own it.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think he's pulling it off

No, he's wearing it.

[–] Aetherion@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I want something like that so hard :(

Grandma has seen her fair share of raves in the 90s

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (9 children)

I wish I had a vest like this and the confidence to wear it at parties. This guy is a Chad.

Looks like a good conversation starter tbh

[–] Coopr8@kbin.earth 3 points 3 days ago

nice repost for another community, but not a meme.
