last week i felt a spider crawling on my head inside my motorcycle helmet, since i was already on the road just told myself i was imagining things, i wished that was the case

Oh damn… this is why I always search hats/helmets like a hawk. 😳

Bruh… that’s awful

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

What happened after?! 😰

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mosquitos during the summer.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

In the summertime I kill everything that could be a mosquito, ask questions later. 🥴

If you ever had a bedbugs infection, you are traumatized for life. Any movement immediately triggers you and you can't relax until you looked everywhere and found no bedbugs.

So far I’ve been lucky, but I try my damndest to never think or imagine it. 😣

body hair is so stupid. Having skin that feels like slik is sooooo overwhelmingly satisfying. (still cis though)

I think it’s original purpose was to keep us warm, but with the advent of clothing it became more of a irritant.

Now, I would give anything for it to fall out lol, I feel like Zangief.

It is actually useful for detecting bugs crawling on your skin. Having them bump into hairs is way more effective than just giving them a free, smooth pass. Sure, we get lots of false positives, but in an evolutionary context where bug bites, venom, and diseases are significantly more dangerous, 100 false positives are worth avoiding the 1 false negative.

Fair point, though it still leaves me extra hot in the summer time. 🥵

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

yeah that was its original purpose. But god damn am I hairy, like a bear...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I have hair everywhere except my head. Man genetics can be cruel.

This is the curse of being a man. You get older and all the hair that used to be on your head shifts into your ears.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

😂😭 I wish it was my ears!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

yeah... it really sucks. I wish I had long flowy hair. I used to have curls, now as I grew older I no longer have hair :/

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Amen, I shaved it for a while but eventually it became to much work. Now my nephews call me gorilla.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Helps detect mosquitos too though, they never have a chance to bite me before getting crushed.

I shaved my beard during the first lockdown to see how it looks (awful) and feeling the air on my hairless face was downright disturbing. Never again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah it can be quite disturbing / awful to see oneself with a babyface. Some can wear it others dont, same with different beard styles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Did you trim it down to just a mustache first, like I did? Did you also look like a sex offender with just a mustache like I did?

Also never again.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I got the exact same problem but with ticks
