Is your beard that strong or is your thumb skin that weak?

Also, what's your favorite dinosaur?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 238d (2 replies)

Yes & I am partial to both triceratops & pachycephelosaurs

Does it now stick out like a sore thumb?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 238d

It did. & my thumb WAS sore for like 10 mins after. I have sensitive skin.

Hey, this happens to me occasionally as well. Usually it's shortly after I trim my beard.

Are you of Italian decent by chance?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 238d (2 replies)

Spanish, Mexican , polish & Norwegian I believe.

Yeah, it's happened to me a couple of times too shortly after shaving.

Is your razor tipped with tungsten or diamond?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 238d (2 replies)

It appears to be some sort of metal.

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 238d (1 reply)

Is it heavy?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 238d

A decent weight.

Aside from the beard hair splinter, how's your winter going so far?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 238d (1 reply)

It's aight. I got a shitload of cozy-ass socks for Christmas.

Cris_Color@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 238d

Crunchy.

I've had the same happen. I cut myself while peeling a mandarin at some point as well, hurt like a paper cut. Cat hair in the toe is the worst I've experienced though.

Do you own pets?

TheOakTree@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 237d

I was doing the thing where you cut lines down a fruit and then pull the slices off of the pit. Except, it was a nectarine, and the pit had a spine sharp enough to cut paper.

I sliced open my index finger nailbed, ~4mm across, on a fucking nectarine pit. Dammit.

I have a dog. He goes by many names but we mostly call him Mr. Dog

hzl@piefed.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 237d (2 replies)

That happened to me once before I lasered it all off! I remember being shocked that it was possible.

IndridCold@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 237d (1 reply)

You lasered off your thumb?

hzl@piefed.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 237d

Yeah!

How much Rogaine did you mix with the Viagra?

From a scale of 0 to 10, ten being the most painful, how much did it hurt?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 237d

4 , It was unpleasant.

Was it a normal hair or one of those super thick stainless steel fuckers that pop up every now and then for some reason that you have to pluck?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 238d

Normal hair, wife takes care of the thick bastards.

BurgerBaron@piefed.social · 4 pts · 238d (1 reply)

Is it thin skin or do you grow Labrador Retriever-like needle hair?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 238d

Both

Pics or it didn’t happen

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 238d

I got it out immediately. It wasn't very deep.

What's your stance on the taxonomy of a hot dog?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 237d (2 replies)

It's a sandwich. Hands down.

Skanky@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 237d (1 reply)

I'm sorry, but it's clearly a taco

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 237d

Oh fuck, taco has never been an option in this fight before. I hereby move my position to TACO.

rollerbang@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 236d

What about when a hot dog is in the center of the bun? Only a hole, no cut. Almost a burrito then.

Did you ever take a shit so big your pants fit looser after?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 237d

Only once & one a little

Can I have some of your beard hair, for science?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 238d

I will post it to you asap

Cattail@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 237d (1 reply)

Do you think you can suck it out with a tool?

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 237d

It came out easy, hurt like heck though.
