Whenever I see this meme template I can't help but think about how the girl on the left has a snout. What's up with that? Is this from some kind of furry thing?

[–] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago

I never noticed that before and now I can't unsee it, Couldn't you have just kept that for yourself?!

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Artifact of a slant of anime style. The 'cute little nose' ends up making for fun profiles when there's supposed to be a little bump out of a nose, but then their mouth is wide open, too. Normally, a little bump of a nose looks totally normal. (as normal as anime, anyways)

Yer mom has a snout. Hahbahdat?

Anime girls are cats, that's why

You are allowed to have a beard, but you are not allowed to grow a beard.

[–] psud@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

That was my dad in the Navy in the '60s. The rules were you could have facial hair, but if you wanted to go from clean shaven to facial hair you needed permission and you had two weeks to grow it - if it wasn't good enough you had to shave.

He couldn't grow a beard in a fortnight. I can't grow a beard in a fortnight.

So he applied right before going on leave so he would have 4 weeks of leave + 2 weeks to grow the beard, which was sufficient

I'm amazed there was a time I shaved. I've had it 15years now and I'd feel naked without it.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Last time I shaved it felt like my chin had been amputated

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I inadvertently switched my thrichotillamania to my beard a few years ago.

I miss it terribly. Shaving is so much work, and while it's relaxing, inevitably an ingrown hair pops up and retriggers everything anyway when I attempt to grow it back.

I've been worried I permanently destroyed it like the guy in the meme, but I had my thumb bound up for 5ish weeks and it came back in nicely before I decimated it again.

Amputation is a very accurate description

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I've had a beard ever since I could grow one. It hit me pretty hard when I turned 18, just boom, beard, and haven't shaved it smooth since. I literally have no idea what I look like as an adult without a beard.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A beard is fine. It requires maintenance though. These jungle refugee beards need to go. Plus, if the mustache is hanging over your lip it's like Jean-Ralphio's sister, Mona-Lisa, THE WOOORST🎶.

[–] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

If I grow a beard, and wish to satisfy my wife's preferences, my only choice is a wild beard

[–] Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yep. And then you get old and it grows faster than you can keep up with it. I'm about half-way to looking like Cousin Itt.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Shaving? Haircuts? I can’t stand being in one place long enough to fool with either. I’m pacing around here looking like Jesus Christ right now. I’m almoooossst annoyed enough by my hair to beg someone to cut it or shave it off.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just leave it to it's thing these days.

[–] Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

You and me both

[–] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

5 o'clock shadow? Try 3 o'clock stubble. Right after shaving there's shadow when your beard is black.

Fred Flintstone style

I wasnt expecting to get roasted today.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Don't give up. It can take months until your beard has really grown in.

[–] Rincewindnz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

My beard of the past 20 years started falling out to look like this recently. Actually pretty sad day when I decided it looked too mangey and I shaved it.

Now my kids call me Mr potato head.

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

When I was younger, I desperately wanted a bushy beard, had none to speak of, today I'm older, could grow one easily, don't want one anymore, makes me look old. Shaving is so obnoxious. I guess it's one of the grass on the other side it's greener thing. Sigh.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Jesus. No need to get personal mate.

[–] psud@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I grew a bushy beard over 2020, then when masks were recommended I shaved to a moustache

My wife wanted the beard back "sorry hon, that stops the mask working"

Now 2024, still mo. I like it

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I kept my epic beard during the 'demic, n the most annoying thing was wearing a mask n having it leave an imprint in the beard n fucking it all up. Now I just have a low-key boring beard. I kinda miss the ole bushy bastard.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

i mean, just shave until the growth kicks in sufficently that you get a proper 5'o clock shadow and from there it's fine to let it grow

if you can't reach that level of growth.. probably just keep shaving and go gnomecore

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don’t get it. This is a thing?

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, my cheeks refuse to grow hair at the same rate as my chin or side burns, it's strange.

[–] psud@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's normal. I can grow a moustache - a proper soup strainer; I can grow a chin beard. No chance can I grow sideburns, the hair goes super sparse above my mouth (aside from directly above my lip)

There's great variation in the facial hair men can grow and whatever one can grow will increase as one ages.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

god i wish i could get a proper bushy mushy, i get an acceptable amount of lip reinforcement but 90% of the growth goes straight into growing the pointiest beard you've ever seen

gotta trim off like half of it to avoid looking like i got a traffic cone on my chin

[–] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I couldn't grow a mo until age 40, so if you're young, don't be discouraged

Also I never had success just growing a mo. I grew a wild beard and then shaved off everything else
