Can't stop looking at the nose in the dude's mouth.

It's like turning on the recirculation in a car

How is the first one so accurate

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

It's not. Source: I wear glasses like that.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

As a developer and wear the first one. But my computer is a Mac so I guess it's a tie.

It's baffling how those 70s/80s molester/serial killer glasses became fashionable again. In the context of those decades they look barely alright, but when worn by people of today they just make a person look terrible.

Aviators?? lol last I checked they never went out of style. Putting clear lenses in them doesn’t change the glasses style.

And as a separate data point, I think these glasses look totally fine. I don’t own any, and I don’t think about child predators when I see them, unless the person looks like a creep, but that’s besides the glasses. Must be a product of those having grown up in the generation.

Aviators never went out of style, they're the cheapest large lens you can get!

I wear them in transitions and the wife and I love joking that I swap between "badass lawman" when they're in sunglasses mode and "70s cult leader" when they're in normal glasses mode

Though I think wearing a hat massively helps the serial killer vibes those give off. If I put my flat cap on I look fine, take it off and book, Dahmer

I think a lot of people get them because they’re the cheapest frames.

I'll forever associate these glasses with the annoying boss from Office Space.

Did anyone specific ruin them? Like, how did they get that reputation?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Jeffrey Dahmer wore them

I have top left because that's what my insurance will pay. I'm top right though, as all I want to do is seeeeee.

Eye insurance, even subsidized by an employer, is a racket. I pay for an appointment out of pocket at a place like Costco and get glasses from Zenni. Don't even need a Costco membership.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I'm on state insurance, and they'll pay for it all. Just a limited selection of frames!

Yes that's me, though for the last few years I've been considering going for something a bit more jazzy, I just can't get myself to do it when it comes time to get a new pair. I'm gonna have to wear them every day with every outfit, the entire day, I just want some I'll forget about, comfortable to wear and resistant to my lack of care.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Absolutely! My reasoning as well. "Elegant" goes with just about everything.

I would say mine are halfway between top right and top left, which, if I’m being honest, is extremely appropriate.

For the record, I also started with top center in sixth grade and did bottom left as a teenager.
