Taint looking like he's about to play Gollum in the Armenian live-production of The Hobbit.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 64 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

What has Gollum ever done to deserve this?

And my axe

Tap for spoilerI know it's worn out, but god damnit it was the perfect time for this.

I'll give it to you 😆👍

Slithered all over middle earth starving and eating dead things to bite off Frodo Baggin's finger? Is this a trick question?

Man I'm glad I started shaving my head when I did. For anyone out there also dealing with going bald, fully committing usually looks better than pretending it's not happening.

[–] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 47 points 2 weeks ago

My dad and uncle look like twins, but my dad always shaved his head and my uncle tried the 3-hair combover to cover it up. So I grew up seeing how much better my dad always looked, and the second I noticed my receding hairline, I committed. Looking back at old pics, it was still probably a year or two later than I should have. The blinders are real.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm planning on getting an incredibly unrealistic wig and refusing to admit that I've gone bold.

I've tried it before, but I've been told that when I shave my head I look as if I'm on cancer treatment. So I guess I still look better with the hair that I've got.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I’ve been told that when I shave my head I look as if I’m on cancer treatment.

When people tell you this, respond with a thousand-yard stare, wait 15 seconds, and then quietly say, "I don't want to talk about it right now."

[–] chickenf622@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Depending on what they meant by that it could be they needed a period to adjust to the new look. I know it took a while before people forgot what I even looked like with hair.

Can you grow a beard? I had a couple of years after shaving where I looked like a thumb, but a beard changed everything.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The beard changed everything ... from the front.

Sorry to break it to you like this.

[–] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Party in the front, thumb in the back. I can dig it.

I’ve made it to my mid 40s with full coverage. Not sure if I would shave it completely or go with a #1 or #2 all over when my time comes.

I guess it depends on where/how it happens?

Shout out to the dudes with fucked up hairlines who aren't pieces of shit.

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] chrislowles@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry about that fr, I just really wanna give earnest props to people like Stavros Halkias and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also I don't have much in the tank myself so this is a little like an Obama giving Obama a medal thing.

What remains of my hair deserves a participation medal.

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Fellas please shave your balls. This picture is a warning.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 31 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Shaved or not, my balls look WAY better than this shit stain.

Soooo itchy, like, wouldn't wish upon my enemies itchy. Can't be scratching my junk in public that often.

[–] mig@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Clear aloe gel from the drugstore. Not the aftersun with "cooling" medicine for sunburn, you've been warned.

Just the plain clear stuff. Prevents ingrown hairs and makes it all sterile and not inflamed. Good slippage when dry too. You'll be sticky for about 5 minutes while it sets.

everyone else in jails and prisons get access to razors, unless you are on a watch. So he is either doing this to be like 'look how they treated me, poor me alpha tears' or like I said before they have him on a watch.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Trump isn't saving him this time?

[–] kazerniel@piefed.world 44 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

lol I read that as "Trump isn’t shaving him this time?" and wondered when that happened before 😂️

[–] towerful@programming.dev 15 points 2 weeks ago

Reminds me of this guy:

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The fuck is up with his ears? Reminds me of stereoscopic rangefinders.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago

He's probably been kicked in the head one too many times. Actually that explains everything about him.

Sad Gollum.

He is one ugly motherfucker. Inside matches outside.

The biomass version of truck nuts.

He rolled under the couch in search of his Precious.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

He looks like the end result of a dog hacking up a white chocolate raisin on the carpet.

This image proves both evolution from ape to man, and devolution from man to ape. Not seeing any "alpha" in it though. Must have been a tree dweller.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm seeing an alpha, but like in software development: early version, underdeveloped, expectedly buggy and not ready for public use.
