Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?
First there was WWII, when all men had to be skinheads. Those men continued shaving, and this became a culture handed down to their boys. Now, we’re rebelling against the elders who fucked up everything, so we grow beards to show that we’re different to them.
Source. A lumberjack appered in front of me in a dream I had in 2009.
For me, it’s sheer laziness. Can’t be arsed to shave more than once every 6 to 10 months.
Do always find it funny when folks react strongly when I do shave. It’s hair growth, not a personality.
My step dad is 50 and never amounted to anything in his life so his big thing that he has is his beard. He takes pictures and grooms it and its so so so stupid and it bothers me so much because he’s overweight and has done absolutely nothing worthwhile with his whole life but here is like oh yeah my beard is looking so great noone can grow the kind of beard I can. Like alright Dennis how about you go back and finish grade ten and get a real job other than selling pills.
I’m a unix-guru.
If I were to shave I’d get a -5 penalty on my bash magic.
If I skip showers for a month I can interface directly with any device in /dev
Samson was actually a sys admin whose servers had incredible uptime until his beard was shaved.
So says the unix bible
GROSS! And can you fix my nvidia drivers???

None of /dev will want your interface.
/dev/zero will always be accepting.
I hate it when when my local /dev/shm gets smelly.

Again?
Hides my fat face.
Lol, of course Lemmy posts this picture.
I hate shaving and I think it’s a waste of time. I think facial hair can also act to make your appearance more visually interesting if you prefer to keep your hair cut really short like I do.
What do you mean men are growing beards “again”? I haven’t noticed any trend between clean shaven / bearded. Some do, some don’t.
Yeah, beards have been common since at least the ‘hipster/lumbersexual’ memes which were about 2008 or so. There’s not been any particular drop off since then. It’s just accepted that some people prefer or look better with a beard.
Yeah, I haven’t been clean shaven since I could first pull off a beard. Last time I saw my naked face was 15 years ago.
That said, I have started to put more effort into my beard to try to keep up with trends. Growing it out, oiling it, shaping the edges. It’s fun, but I still find myself trimming it down after too long just to make it easier to manage.
What oil are you using? Hands down the best stuff I have ever tried is from a small New Zealand brand called Lambert’s Luscious Beard Oils. I started getting compliments at work after switching to that stuff.
I’m lazy and can’t be fucked shaving regularly
Because it grew back?
I’m a fucking wizard - the beard is mandatory.
I control electron flow on my spare time
I control erection flow.
Do the other wizards just give you the staff, or do you have to go on a quest or something?
Becoming a wizard isn’t so trivial as just being declared one - many wizards apprenticed themselves to gain knowledge and improve their chances but that elevation is a personal journey.
You will know you’re a wizard when you can look at fellows in your skill and know that none of them would challenge your adoption of the title. I wish you the best of luck. It’s a title within reach of everyone in their lifetime.
The staff and robes are optional but who would turn down a badass purple robe.
Same reason I wear a brown onion on my belt
Because that damn Keiser stole your word twenty?
I get awful razor burn and I hate shaving. Grow beard, trim the mo’ every now and then, go see my barber for a tidy up when it starts getting too wild. So much easier
