It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Panniers. Way better than a backpack, especially when it's hot.
If you want some that will last decades: https://ortlieb.com/
Got a pair of the XL ones and they are great. They feel pretty durable, never worry that my stuff inside them will get wet even when cycling to work in a thunderstorm. Can also unclip them from the bike in about a second.
Thank you. Didn't know what I was looking for at all! Yes the backpack is getting very annoying
They also make backpacks that clip onto bike racks. I've got one from 174 Hudson and it's pretty decent (not waterproof though).
Xtracycle makes a waterproof one and there are the famous but expensive Ortlieb Rollers (but they're pretty much the best bags you can get).
Oh cool! I'll look into those!
If you're looking for one that goes on top of the rear rack instead of bags that attach to the sides (panniers) I've seen them listed generically on Amazon as rear rack bags. Some include fold out panniers while others are just the rack-top bag
