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.

I've been told it helps to not wear underwear with bike shorts.
My big problem with all of that though is that now I have to do prep work before I can ride the bike. I just want to be able to get on the bike and go, I don't want to have to do stuff.
This is for just riding around on simple terrain and on the quieter roads. Obviously if you're going to go off-road then you need to make some preparations, but that's reasonable. I shouldn't have to put on special gear just to go to the shops.
That makes complete sense
I don't! The underwear are for when I use regular shorts or jeans. Some have seams that just tear into skin under friction.
That said, some shorts, specially those with loose liners, are also really bad when riding long distances.
Thank you for the response! I just started learning how to ride (short distances) and a coworker gave me that piece of advice and I didn't know if they were messing with me or not.
For short distances (no pun intended), I don't think it's necessary to use cycling shorts, or even special regular clothes. It's a personal preference. I sweat more in regular clothes, so I don't mind the cycling/technical wear.
But much of the riding I do recreationally tends to be long distance (80km+ at a time), so comfort is at the top of my list over pretty much everything else.
