Turns out that clothing designed to tolerate every possible weather is pretty good at tolerating weather.
You mean, the cowboys might have learned a thing or two about how to survive in the cold and snow when traversing the FUCKING ROCKY MOUNTAINS??
amazing.
I lived out in the Rockies. There was one Easter when we had a cold snap that hit -40.
Fun fact here, the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales intersect at -40.
Also, if you throw a mug of lukewarm water outside, it will be snow before it hits the ground.
Yeah, exactly! This is my point! Shit gets real up there!
Not “up” as in “north.” “Up” as in away from the earth… z-axis… CLOSER TO SPACE THAN NORMALLY SURVIVABLE
As a kid, my family visited some other family in Colorado Springs, and one night when we didn’t have anything to do, they took us to a gymnastics gym that had free play hours.
I ran around for a few minutes before I started to get really winded. The staff picked up on it, and was like, "where are you from?” When I said Arkansas, they were all like “Oh, yeah, there isn’t enough air up here for you. Go sit down for a bit.”
There ISN’T ENOUGH AIR UP THERE. SHIT IS HARDCORE.
“You’d think the Rocky Mountains would be a little more rocky.”
“Pfft, yeah. That John Denver is full of shit.”
People with guns DID take over most of Russia. Went from a Moscow/Kiev based country, to one that extended all the way to the East coast. Manifest Destiny in Russia, “The Wild East.” All by dudes with guns vs. people without guns.
People with guns DID take over most of Russia.
The OP means literal cowboys. Most people took over whatever they wanted if they had guns and the opponents didn’t ; it doesn’t mean the British forces that took Zulu territory were cowboys
All 3 of those things are fairly similar. Biggest difference is a lack of cows.
I mean, the OOP is describing cowboy clothing style in particular though as the reason.
Has this person never heard of punctuation?
punctuation are speed bumps you cannot have them on the highway of thought
I’m used to that facet of the internet. I’m more aggrieved by nearly a third of the text being a circuitious description of a phenomenon that they give the name for at the end of the block. You remembered the name for the thing before you submitted the post, so why keep the rambling, irrelevant prologue?
Dude, fucking breathe already.
Yee haw
