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

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 96 points 2 months ago (6 children)

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.

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

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 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

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 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?

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 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.

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 2 months ago

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

Wireless hair

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago

That's pretty neat

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

Bluetooth hair extensions.

[–] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 months ago

That's really cool

[–] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 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.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

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

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

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

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Now you can cut your hair and keep it too!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 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.

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.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

...

I'll allow it.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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