Why wouldn't it put the hat on its head?

The hunchback of Notre Dame doesn't wear a hat on the hump.

Alright, if you are so wise in the ways of science, settle this one

The second obviously. Pants cover the rear legs up to at least the waist. A human walking on all fours wouldn’t start wearing pants wrong too.

Ignoring the fact that it’s a meme, yes

The first one would just slip down all the time and be very restrictive, having your extremities tied in the forward position.

We can only assume that covering the bulb would hinder the production of chlorophyll and thereby harm the wellness of the 'mon.

The head. Which is where hats go. The point of the dog wearing pants meme is that both options are still worn on the dog's legs.

I wrote the above comment because I was high last night and didnt feel like it needed justifying. I realize now it seems oddly aggressive.

Would you rather wear pants that go from under your butthole to your chest, but leave your back open, or ones which go around your hips and cover your butthole?

Personally I think I'd go with the latter.

I remember way back when, in the year 2019.

Both like a pair of mittens.
