Do all guys just not have any core strength??
It has to do with how far back you are/how much over lean you have. If females have to step back further, they can't do it either. That's also why I can do it without my boots on but not with.

 
That's some next-level goading.
My mother is Polish/Irish.  She's always on the next level when it comes to making her children feel strong emotions.

Do possums and pineapples even exist in the same material plane? 
Luckily we do not have possums in HI (I hear they're mean). Only long ratty weasel shaped creatures called mongoose. 
I mean, I get my pineapple from the store?  And opossums live kinda near the store?

Opossums aren't mean!  They're just kinda scruffy/look like an old shag purse that was left in the gutter after a long night of partying?  They play dead and hiss to frighten off things!  They eat many, many ticks, don't get lyme disease, and they're one of the few mammals that have a close to null chance of carrying rabies due to their lower body temp!  AND THEY CARRY THEIR BABIES ON THEIR BACK WHICH IS ADORABLE BUT I ALWAYS FEEL SO BAD FOR THE MOM.

...groundhogs, on the other hand, are dicks.

I get what you're saying, but my mind immediately went to, 'huh.  I've hear that a suit makes the man, but didn't know a pair of boots let you change sexes so easily'.  There also were wigs involved, but, you know.

Opossums used to kill and eat my dad's chickens.

Needless to say, there are no more opossums messing to mess with the chickens.

I'll have to see if me and my wife can do it. I'm thinking she might not be able to, because her torso is short compared to her legs. She'll have to lean forward a little further for her head to reach the wall. 

 
I 100% want that pullover.

A women I follow on IG is a big time backpacker and she's got a down puffy poncho like that pullover. If I get to her level of backpacking, I want to get one for camp. But she's also a ground dweller and I sleep in the trees so I don't know how useful it'd be for me

Awesome. I barely went most of December due to sickness, holidays and the fact I worked from home most days. Need to get back into it.

 
I sleep in the trees
I'm a hammock sleeper. Too much bad luck with critters walking on me if I sleep on the deck, worth the extra 0.25 lbm.

Also, and I forget where I read/heard it, but for backpacking/bikepacking a good umbrella is more useful/beats a rain jacket in almost every scenario. Surprisingly incongruous with the hardened backpacker style, but if you really think about it, it's kind of genius.

Idk about that. I've backpacked in some pretty windy rain before and I feel like the umbrella would just catch wind. I could also see it catching on branches when hiking through dense trails.

But in a moderate rain during the summer I could see how it would be preferred. Sometimes rain jackets just don't breathe well enough.

I've seen guys backpack with ponchos and they just get a large enough poncho that it cover them and their pack. That allows for good air flow.

I'm a rain jacket guy in the winter. If it's summer, I just put the pack cover on and put my zip off pants legs on (pants are water proof) and let the top of me get wet. I'm usually already soaking from sweat during the summer. In the winter the rain jacket helps keep a little warmth in.

Idk. I'm just typing thoughts.
