A

We wear ties at the base of our necks not the base of our heads

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 57 points 3 weeks ago

Yes fellow human. That is what we do. Just normal people things.

Remember: They are nervous. B is more likely. ^^

B is more true to life.

A tie is worn at the bottom of the neck.

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

well is it supposed to go there or does everyone put it there because gravity forces us to

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wearing a tie higher on your neck moves you into the kink zone.

It hangs over the shirt to protect the more expensive shirt.

C! at that middle joint? thing

[–] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Ties are worn around the base of the neck, and the neck is the flexible thin part that connects the head. I see position A as being well below the flex point, which would be like wearing the tie low on the shoulders. That's why I would prefer it at the bottom end of the joint, position C. One could reasonably argue that anything above where the body narrows down towards the neck is part of the neck, in which case A would also make sense.

Semantics on where a neck starts aside, position B is clearly at the top of the neck and is therefore just nonsense not even worth considering.

Also position C lets the tie hang neatly down the front of the body as it should, rather than dragging the ground or dangling loosely in midair.

My first instinct was A, at the base of the neck. But now that I think about it I think I agree with this more. I think it could be argued that at the joint is where the neck really begins, and that the narrow part beneath that is still part of the body. And I think it would look better (and more professional!) if our weevil friend wore his tie there.

While my first instinct was A, that leaves the tie dragging along the ground, so for a long tie I'd have to go with B so the tie doesn't get all dirty. Best of both worlds work be a bow tie in position A.

[–] Synthuir@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago

Clearly needs a tie clip!

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 3 weeks ago

A is definitely the lesser of two weevils.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

I feel like they'd wear a bow tie because neither of these options looks professional.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

That's an important question if one doesn't want to be seen as the lesser of the two weevils. sans-troll

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

B looks v profesh if he stands up straight and speaks with diction

[–] dhtseany@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

He'd have to show good posture to show he's an upright kinda guy.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Also he can swing that shit to pull mad bitches

[–] SerotoninSwells@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My mom taught me growing up that you can never be too professional. Going by that advice, I think A & B at the same time is the clear answer.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Bow tie at the top, neck tie at the bottom.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

This is exactly the kind of silly shit I come here for. Bravo!

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Asking for a friend?

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

At the bend of the second neck, it’s in between both options so it is the most politically correct.

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

WEEVIL SEEN. MUST SHILL WEEVILTIME. !weeviltime@sh.itjust.works

[–] HarbingerOfTomb@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

B, but with a tie clip! He's no philistine.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nah it shows real tenacity and grit with a real selftied tie, as a weevil doesn't have opposable thumbs. So it takes real skill to tie the tie.

They wouldn't wear a leash because they aren't a dog.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 3 points 3 weeks ago

B but it has to be longer. The more elegant the dongle the more attractive he is to HR

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

a tie sits on the shoulders so the tie of a Giraffe Weevil would need to sit much lower than is illustrated.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Some say A, some say B, I guess it's a tie.
