how i feel watching an apocalyptic movie where all the men are clean shaven

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 67 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

Always bugged me how the grass wasn't overgrown in The Walking Dead. Who the hell is going around mowing lawns in the zombie apocalypse?!

[–] tino@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

thank you for the good laugh

[–] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 23 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

The same thing that is lighting the candles in caves and hideouts in Doom and Skyrim. It’s their summer job

[–] DrSoap@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

There is that videogame based on that premise. Goblin cleanup. You reset and clean dungeons in between heros.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Now that you mention it, there's a lot of ammo laying around a lot of video game caves.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Oh damn! Great catch, those are definitely one of the details why I could never get into the show. My brain registered it subconsciously without verbalizing it, I just knew I didn't like it or it felt dumb for some reason.

It was just emo drama happen to be set in a zombie apocalypse setting that wasn't even believable.

Not as bad as the comic though. That one sucked so bad.

My biggest gripe is when they're not cleanly shaven, visibly dirty and rugged, and then their teeth are blinding white. Motherfucker even my own teeth don't fucking blind me and I wash my teeth.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 hours ago

Enamels fucking ruined historical dramas for me while we're at it. Braces too tbh, ohhh we used to have actual snagle teeth in my day 😩

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 7 hours ago

they use whitening products to make thier teeth that white. i dint know people did this excessively to thier teeth. it actually damages your teeth in the end.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

They're always "styled dirty", so they look filthy but somehow perfect. It's like when the hero gets a cut, it's always this cool looking little streak across the cheekbone, or if it's on the body it's a perfect 10cm scar on the shoulder, or close by the pelvis so they can show off their abs. It takes me out of the suspension of disbelief, because I can't get lost in the acting if the acting is done by these perfect creatures that look NOTHING like they haven't slept, are underfed, paranoid, depressed, and on the brink.

Sure, that is harder to achieve, because good art is hard to achieve, and I just don't dig cheap art, what can I say.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Part of that (the cut placement) is making the prosthetics though. Yeah, you can make good looking cuts elsewhere, but the more the site moves, the more hassle it is. Facial prosthetics in particular run into trouble when they're near the mouth or brows. So you end up with cheeks being preferred overall.

With the body, you run into issues with making something visible, movable, and believable. Gashes across the abs fail at all three, whereas shoulder and pecs are solid choices. Legs would be too, but they're not in frame as much, and shouldn't be without a good reason.

Everything on screen is a compromise of some sort.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 hours ago

Hm I hadn't thought of that angle

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

The Ghost and the Darkness, Val Kilmer. I enjoyed that movie a lot. But every time that handsome devil smiled it took me right out of 18th century Kenya and straight to 1996 LA TMZ.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Motherfucker even my own teeth don’t fucking blind me and I wash my teeth.

Maybe you should try brushing instead.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

...So you get volume and lushness to your teeth.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 hours ago

Remind me of "what if your teeth were flaccid but got naturally hard when you were hungry" (not my joke)

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 3 points 14 hours ago

I can't stop laughing. Thank you.

[–] DioramaOfShit@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

I also wash my teeth. Im just using regular dawn right now and my teeth are still yellow too. Maybe I need to try that citrus stuff with the grit in it.

[–] shartgargle@lemmy.zip 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Bruh, when you're out in the shit and get a chance to shave, you do it. If you're used to a certain length, and CANT shave, it's like #3 on the list of things you dream about when thinking about getting back to civilization. So if you're always in the shit, you'll always put it high on the list.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

YOU do, maybe. In a survival situation, trust me, that is not high on the list of concerns.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Once survival has gone on for some time (depends on the person), you're going to start making a few 'comfort' decisions. Granted, I wouldn't go raid a CVS for razors but if I found a pair of scissors I might start doing a trim.

Also, hate the feeling of greasy hair, so I'm quick to cut it off or rub dirt all over it if I can't take care of it.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Absolutely, getting a shower and having soap on your body is Magical Jesus Heaven when you've been in the dirt for a longer period of time, and it's definitely an important morale motivator, actually just longing for it, so it definitely has survival value apart from basic hygiene making sure to let the body heal and not catch infections and so on...

I suppose the scope of the situation matters for what we are talking about. In a true survival situation, it's an afterthought. In anything below that it becomes proportionally more accessible and pertinent, of course.

Edit: Shit I answered twice without noticing, I just re-read your comment and had something else to say I suppose :) <3

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Kind of like a dog rolling around in muck to get the smell just right. I can feel that

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

There is a lot to be said for morale improving things like hot showers, clipping your nails, and all of that, but they are always luxuries (valuable luxuries), though they could certainly act as motivators. When you live under duress, you find that you can actually get used to very base forms of existence, over a long time.

Edit: ah shit for some reason I can't see that Ive commented on you before so I keep doing it thinking it's a new comment. Shit, I'm gonna write a letter to the devs of this app, Eternity, I have many opinions on many of the tings.

Edit2: then again one might wonder how come I can't recognize a comment I've read three times.... Hmmm

[–] shartgargle@lemmy.zip 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I meant after basic survival needs have been met. Obviously food, water, shelter are more important. But humans are hard wired to feel a sense of some hygiene, though you wouldn't know it from some people.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

We don't like to feel icky, for sure, but the scope for what we consider "icky" narrows a lot when we're trying to survive.

[–] shartgargle@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

True, and a beard can be useful to break up the visual lines that the human brain identifies as a face. It'd only be a part of the overall camouflage profile, but if it's already 1/3 done for you, it's a win. But I can't stand my beard getting that long. It's like wearing a steel wool sweater to me.

Edit: not just human brain, animal brain.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

The utility of facial hair is modest. It has potential for sure! But first let's have dinner.
