    Hey Theorists, how short are your pants? Are they as short as Pedro Pascal’s shorts at the 2023 Met Gala? Or as long as Rihanna’s flowing Valentino Haute Couture gown? Well take a good look because your answer may determine whether we’re actually in an economic recession or time of prosperity. But, wait… how is that possible? Your shorts can’t ACTUALLY predict the future, can they? Hang on to those short shorts because we’re about to find out!

      I was switching between pants for work and gym shorts at home. I still had to go to work since I'm an 'essential worker' which means I'm risking my life to go to work (according to politicians and media) but got paid way less than if I had been an 'unessential worker' where I'd get to sit on my arse at home and collect my base pay plus $600 instead of just my base pay (sorry, everytime I'm reminded of that fact it makes just a wee bit irritated). At home I usually wear gym shorts because my condo (which is more of an apartment) gets way to hot (boiler heat in the winter that I have no control over and AC is too expensive, assuming the ancient wall mount unit works at all, to run in the summer).

    I mean, I'll note for the 2020's, the hemline index still works for men when you realize that a lot of the times, in those zoom calls, many men were just in their underwear, AKA 'no hemline at all'.

    • @Starcrash6984
      @Starcrash6984 11 місяців тому +15

      "The hemline index" never worked. That was the point at the end of the video. "Many men" were just in their underwear, but also, "many men" weren't. Not everyone was working over Zoom. To make the "hemline index" appear to work, you gotta cherry-pick the messy data. Even one of the premises, that Pedro Pascal's shorts represented our current times -- that one single guy in one single fashion show was the marker for "most" or "all" men -- makes it pretty clear that he was using small pieces of data as representative of the whole.

    • @gabrielabatista6016
      @gabrielabatista6016 11 місяців тому +8

      As far as I remember, conditioner has two functions:
      1- adding moisture to your hair after you stripped all the oils with the shampoo (so, conditioner is particularly important if you have dry hair, but not really necessary if you're like me with that extra oily hair).
      2- balance the static of your hair to remove frizz (which makes it tangle less and makes it easier to comb/brush).
      There are different types of conditioners with other functions, though. From curl intensifiers to straighteners, detangling and colour toner ones to pair with colour toner shampoos, among others; there are many different types of conditioners with specific functions.

      My two biggest tips from a former fat girl who could wear through jeans rapidly - 1. Only get jeans that are 98% cotton or more. You usually can't find 100% and probably wouldn't want it as it will hardly stretch. 2. Only wash your jeans every 10 wears or until they have substantial dirt or any smell. Between wears hang them up to air out. The higher the natural fabric content, the better they air out.

    It lurks in the shadows,
    out of His spotlight,
    His view.
    He dances on the stage,
    weaving a web of lies.
    But you must venture beyond the cage,
    and find where It cries.
    Find the truth.

    Halfway through the video I was thinking Matpat seems to be cherry picking examples that support his theories. Glad he acknowledged it at the end.

    What I'm curious about is - does the hemline index apply only to USA economy or does it apply globally? Or to other individual countries? ie. S.Korean youngsters have pretty short shorts/skirts. Does it correlate with their economy? Cos dressing style would differ drastically across different cultures right?

    I've heard about this theory before, but the one I've heard was how the taller the shoes, the worse for the economy
    it's fun to hear another spin on it

    I love the history tour in this theory!
    To stay true to ✨science✨ though, we shouldn't forget that correlation doesn't mean causation. So even though this pattern is certainly something that strikes attention, it doesn't necessarily prove a direct connection between the shortness of clothes and economy.

    I personally wear what I have in my closet, and buy what I like. It's not dependent on the economy. My clothes have been known to last deccades, and I continue to wear it regardless of fashion trends or economic conditions.

    Given what I heard about zoom meetings, a lot of dudes were wearing athletic shorts or only underwear, so I would consider that to be pretty short. I personally wore athletic shorts during the shutdowns as opposed to the jeans I normally wear

    Even I can verify the whole shorts thing for 2020. More often than not, I found myself often wearing shorts, mostly ones that just barely reach the knee, though the shorts s&p can also signify rising global temperatures.
