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 ?
I grew one during lockdown, decided I liked it and kept it. I suspect I am not an anomaly in this.
I started shaving as a hobby during lockdown. Now I help run a shaving Lemmy.
I’m glad shaving hobbyists exist, y’all were a great help when I wanted to replace my Ross clearance safety razor, but I still don’t understand it as a hobby, lol.
Beards are where the Communism is stored. As the ruling class become richer and more obscene, class consciousness grows amongst the working class. Hence, beards.
I’ve got mine almost completely colonized with psychedelic mycelium!
So many men think they look sexy with a beard.
Reality: You look like a serial killer from the backwoods.
Trim and wash it properly or shave it off.
Facial hair is such a turn off.Especially when most dudes growing beards look like they have public hair growing out of their face. They look ridiculous.
I think they’ve given up on trying to get laid.
Well somebody has, at any rate
I’m not growing it for you. I’m growing it because I like it for me. If you don’t like it, that’s your loss.

I like them
Many men do look sexier with a beard. For some men it helps with obscuring a recessed chin and giving a ‘stronger’ shape.
My personal preference is when men have bit of scruff imo. Like a week of growth with a full mustache. Obviously people like you dislike beards but everyone has their opinions.
For every you, there’s a woman who feels compelled to pet me because of my beard. I’ll take that trade-off.
Pet you? or your beard? Just to clarify.

Vaginas are not allowed in my house. I’ll take “clean shaven dudes with a dick” for $1000 Alex.
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
It’s been foretold that after a year without touching grass you can harness one-handed vim
GROSS! And can you fix my nvidia drivers???
He can’t take that risk! Don’t you know what you’re asking?

None of /dev will want your interface.
I hate it when when my local /dev/shm gets smelly.
/dev/zero will always be accepting.
Some dumb influencer is doing it and everyone now think that looks cool.
It does look cool.
It really doesn’t. :)
We’ll I mean yours obviously doesn’t
I grew a beard after I got food poisoning and the flu back-to-back. I couldn’t be arsed to shave.
I did try shaving years later but I hated nicking my chin with a razor and doing it every day was a pain.
Well, it does more-or-less happen on its own if you aren’t paying attention.
I really fucking hate wasting my time shaving and gave up on it during the pandemic, then people told me I looked better with it.
SAVING ELECTRICITY LOL WUT
When I was still in the closet, I grew and maintained a big beard as part of my attempts at performative masculinity.
Not saying that this is what’s happening with most men who’re growing 'em out, but sometimes I see a bloke with a well maintained set of facial hair looking absolutely miserable and my egg radar starts shrieking.
oh hey its me
Though over the winter it was decidedly not well maintained, longest its ever been, etc. I kind of get weirdly less dysphoric about just letting things go vs. actively cultivating something I don’t necessarily want or like.
Beards are great. Shaving was the greatest crime of Romans.
Right up there with Carthage
??? Carthaginian men did not had that custom, most wore beards.
I think they meant the destruction of Carthage something I am still sore about
Yeah that too, if the Carthage was not destroyed it would serve as counterbalance to Romans at least for a time, and the vile shaving custom would not spread as much.

The influence of Marxism
I mean, they’re both coming back a bit, but I don’t know anyone who was like “well, Marx had one”.
From each according to his capacity I suppose
(It’s not real analysis, I’m memeing)
(Oh, gotcha!)
I just do whatever the last attractive person who gave me advice on my appearance told me to do
Fashions change. We were about due for a swing back to beardy, I reckon.
Personally, I’m bald, and I grow a really good one that, like, holds a shape. It just makes sense.
it’s fun to play with. my ADHD brain likes the texture
That’s the tism side of my brain. The ADHD side of my brain thinks shaving is the most boring chore ever. I fold and put away my laundry with greater frequency.
