Idk, I was assured that pigs had a chinny-chin-chin.
Growing up half Japanese I could never help laughing at that story as chinchin means penis in Japanese, and I think everyone should share in this amusement.
"Not by the hair on my dick, fuckface!"
I think Green Jellÿ should use that.
Have you seen humans without chins? That's why
My grandma said I was the most handsome boy... Are you calling my dead grandmother a liar?!
This is why it bothers me when artists add chins to animalistic characters. It looks so wrong. An example:
Like, shit. Cool character design but you gave the cat lady a chin. Cats don't have chins, why did you give her a chin?
They don't have opposable thumbs, go into night clubs, walk bipedally or have those wing things either, why is it the chin that bothers you?
That character is mostly a cat skinned human.
Why does it look like she has nipple piercings that couldn't be contained.
TIL chins are only chins because they stick out. I had always considered the front of a lower jaw to be a "chin".
In other words some people really have no chin...
Peak humanity
The New Chad
Of course we know why. So that evolution could result in the universe's most perfect being.
Groovy
If I am not mistaken, according to the grammatical scrolls, having a chin makes everyone .. chinese
More chins than a Chinese phone book.
If other animals don't have chins, they're using a weird definition of chin.
Some humans even have double
The "spandrel hypothesis" is the front runner explanation. Essentially we didn't evolve to have chins but rather evolved other things that are helpful, and the chin is a byproduct of that other evolution. Not harmful so it didn't get selected away, but not helpful.
Would you mate with somebody who didn't have a chin? Chins are sexy.
All of the the three little pigs had a chinny chin chin
Useful in fighting as it helps protect the lower jaw and teeth?
But then again, it could simply be a trait we have developed over the millennia, and there is no deeper meaning to it.
TIL LeafyIsHere isn't human after all...
I'm gonna guess the same reason we have big knuckles/fists and men have facial hair. Fighting.
How is facial hair beneficial in fighting?
It's neither beneficial nor an inherent detriment.
It doesn't provide enough padding to matter for anything, and the dangers of it bring grabbed are vastly exaggerated (been doing martial arts and grappling in one form or another since jr high, if you count a little wresting then, so over thirty years with breaks here and there, and bearded the entire adult time).
At best, blows will slide more and cut less, but not enough to really matter. At worst, having it grabbed hurts, which can be a bad distraction, but it isn't so sturdy as to not be easy to escape. It either pulls loose if their grip is bad, pulls out if their grip is good enough, or makes sure their hands are easy to reach, and allows you an easy access inside their reach.
Every little pro has a con, and vice versa, with none of it being a deciding factor.
A ponytail is worse, and a braid worse than that.
Besides, anyone with a beard that isn't just full mountain man is going to be oiling or otherwise treating their beard. This makes bare handed grips next to useless on them. And if you're in a full contact sparring session, you'll have other options to keep it from being a horrible thing.
Seriously. I have never once been tapped out because of my beard. I've never had any idiot during my years as a bouncer be successful in using it against me. Now, I have had to trim or shave it back because of having wads of it snatched out, but that's still a very minor issue compared to the other things that can happen in a fight.
If anything, the fact that people tend to have this weird reaction to a big, bearded guy compared to just a big guy, you get in less fights in my experience outside of training or a job. Going places with a full beard, even drunks wouldn't fuck with me the way they would other big guys. There's a bit of some kind of reaction where people think a beard = tough sometimes. No clue why, just that it's often enough to have noticed.
