Pretty sure Van Gogh wasn't deaf in that ear though.

Things probably sounded weird there though. Lots of whooshing.

Definitely. A piercing in my conch, was enough to give me some mildly annoying tinnitus for years.

Can't imagine if my ear was just...gone.

Weird that your vagina would do that

He only took off a small portion of his ear.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well then that's not so bad. I mean it still will change the way you hear, but definitely not as drastic.

I was always under the impression he had like at least 3/4 of the ear gone. Lame.

TIL

His GF could whisper in his ear all the way from across town.

I'm viewing this through the Liftoff app and your username has big block letters and a blue circle for the O but looks normal when viewed from other apps. Is that some customization you can do that only shows up if an app supports it?

It's Unicode and emojis in the display name. Some instances don't have a display name, just the username.

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

I think in your user profile settings, you can set a separate display name. Then it’s up to the client on how to render your username/displayname.

I think it might be the opposite, our ears direct and funnel sound

I think y'all are nitpicking this joke too hard
