23
For context, I stopped shaving about 7 months ago. If you had told me about it when I was 16 I would have laughed. I had always been very self conscious about my "moustache", which was super painful to remove, and I plucked my "unibrow" twice a week. I thought people would notice if I didn't.
The thing is... After 7 months of not touching it, I have literally (yes, literally. I have counted them) a total of 16 hairs in my "unibrow". 16. And very short. And a very light colour. You can't even see that they are there. Same with my "moustache". My hair in my upper lip is very light and thin. You can only notice it if you are uncomfortably close to me.
I have been causing pain to myself over nothing.
Ironically, my leg hair, which I shaved but I wasn't that worried about, is way more noticeable. I don't care. I've finally grown used to it. I can finally say that I love my body (and facial) hair and, if given the choice of either being hairless forever with no pain or being as I am now, I would choose the latter :)
Very cool, but the fact that they can grow to be 26 ft is pure nightmare fuel. Even the picture of the 12ft one in the article is just...nope.
I think the giant sunfish are the same way to me. I know they are harmless, despite their massive size... They just look like gigantic floating death pancakes.
Several years ago Mumsnet had a thread for people to post photos of the world's scariest/most revolting animals. Harpy eagles, Surinam toads, mole-rats... you get the picture. This thing should have made the list. I know deep-water creatures tend to be larger, but 26'? At least it seems to swim about as well as a cow would, so that's some comfort.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m so fascinated by deep-sea creatures; they look like literal monsters and I just think that’s so cool
Does this mean a big earthquake is coming?
The earthquake stuff could make sense, since this is a deep sea fish and and a seaquake could force it to go higher up.
But since the deep sea is heating up pretty fast, I hope it wasn't some environmental issue.
