A

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

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 months ago

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

B is more true to life.

A tie is worn at the bottom of the neck.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

i wear mine as a nose piercing

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Clearly needs a tie clip!

C! at that middle joint? thing

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah, A would work fine if it was shorter, but dragging on the floor doesn't work. C still offers the color contrast of red tie against the black chitin, which looks smart on him.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

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.

A is definitely the lesser of two weevils.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Also he can swing that shit to pull mad bitches

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

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

Asking for a friend?

[–] flambonkscious 9 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

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