    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?

      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)

      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’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.

    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.

    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.

    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

      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.
