Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

I... Kind of think it's neat

Well that makes it easier to wash her hair in the sink I guess.

But also, hear me out, what if instead of that plastic thing she had a quick release hook, so she could use the tail (and the hook) for self defence? Hell, make the tail of braided leather and you got a cool whip for impromptu BSDM session!

Shit if your gonna do all that, might as well just hang a glock from it

Sounds like somebody needs to be punished 😏

What if instead of a quick release hook there was a rubber o-ring on her head hair and a buttplug-shaped object on the ponytail.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

From plug-and-play ponytail to plug-and-play pony tail in one step.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

i noticed that they do sell buttplug ponytails at renaissance fairs.

I don't know why it bothers me that it's "dead" hair, because effectively nothing has changed. It's like a pseudo wig that isn't trying to hide anything, which is super cool

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The moment your hair cells leave the pores on the skin of your head, they die. Thud all hair is dead.

The moment your hair cells leave the pores on the skin of your head

Even before that. You pull a hair out, and if that specific hair follicle was still growing you should see a teeny-tiny bulb at the very end. That bulb can be up to a mm beneath the skin. The widest part of that bulb is where the hair cells begin dying and drying out. By the time it shrinks down to the width of the rest of the hair (and long before it emerges from the pore), all the cells in that section are dead. Only the base of the bulb has living, growing hair cells.

Wait, I thought hair was made of keratin like nails. It's made of cells?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you implying that your fingernails were never cells of your body? How does that work?

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

Well I'll have to look it up now, but I see it as a substance produced by the body that isn't made of cells itself. Like any of the other excretions and things the body makes.

Edit: apparently both your nails and hair are mostly made of keratin, but keratin isn't produced and excreted to produce the nail and hair structures like a playdough factory like I imagined. Special cells are produced that are primarily keratin and they are added to like a chain and die/harden as they are pushed out from the body.

Guys, should we tell him about skin?

Hairs are never "alive" in the first place. The follicle is.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

That's why they used the quotes and said that nothing effectively changed.

Wireless hair

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 months ago

That's pretty neat

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago

Bluetooth hair extensions.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago

That's really cool

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don’t know if it’s real or not but I love it

Neat style, I also think its really neat how the shadow falls on her neck. The silhouette is just slightly not the same as the shape, and it looks pretty cool.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

To be fair it kinda looks cool. Though it does reminds me of a door knocker.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

When you decide to donate to locks-for-love but realize to late it was your lucky ponytail.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Now you can cut your hair and keep it too!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if you'd have to wash it? I guess it's no different than however people with wigs take care of them.

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

It's got the benefits of having extensions, but without the benefit of an awkward surprise when somebody tries to run their hands through your hair when making out.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure that's someone else's hair (the color and texture don't quite match) but I don't care. That's amazing and genius.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

...

I'll allow it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I'm going to tell myself it's something really cool like anodized titanium and not just plastic.

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

For when you want to have a ponytail that you can disconnect and hook your keys onto your head.
