Also, what if it wasn't clipped short. Instead, you could grow it out a little to have a built in baseball cap

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 week ago

But which way would it grow?

You hit the nail on the head.

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Our largest predator would be a hammerhead shark.

[-] Slovene85@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Woah, are you saying viral.vegabond is a human trafficker?

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Remember to look down when filing it, though. Don't want to get scalp nail in your eyes.

[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

True, nobody likes it when they get scalp nail in their eyes. Lol

[-] VibeSurgeon@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

Extreme convenience. How cursed our biology is to have robbed us of this functionality

[-] T156@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

On the other hand, we've also never had to deal with an ingrown headnail, so small mercies.

[-] red_tomato@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

People probably would attach ornaments to the grown head nail.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Would you use a giant nail-polish brush or use the little ones to do elaborate artwork?

[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

Giant, gotta get shit done. Lol

[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

like piercings or something, kind of?

[-] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago
[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

Painting it would be an option too. Or sharpening it. The possibilities are endless!!

[-] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Sharpening it so you can headbutt someone else in a human mating ritual lol .

[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, definitely something one -could- do...

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

And you could like carve it into cool shapes or harden it into a head spike for killing rich people.

[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

I like where you're going with this.

I came to the comments expecting literally this exact screenshot

[-] Shifty@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

I've had nightmares about these...

Just decapitate me at that point

Life would be different if we pooped out of our mouths like a sea cucumber.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago

Life would be different if we threw out babies at predators when startled, like quokka

[-] hdsrob@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Those nail clippers are going to be huge.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

They'd probably use saws or grinders at that scale

I almost exclusively use a coarse file for my toenails so they don't break weird and get ingrown

[-] hdsrob@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Although I guess that "hair stylists" would get replaced with nail techs. Head Nail styles would be crazy.

[-] folekaule@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I would say OP hit the nail on the head here. It would be different.

[-] Quokka@quokk.au 7 points 1 week ago

Magpies wouldn't feel so smug that's for sure.

Natural helmet

[-] Murse@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago

Nothin a bit of phenol couldn't take care of.

...well, maybe a lot of phenol. And a crowbar.

[-] Kirp123@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Imagine having a giant ingrown nail on your head. Yeah, no thanks.

Do you think we’d get sunburn under the nail?

[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

Is it possible to get sunburned under your regular nails?

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

With powerful enough radiation, you can get a sunburn through your whole body =D

That being said, keratin doesn't seem to absorb UV (A or B) very well so probably: https://www.npsg.uwaterloo.ca/data/skin.php

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

According to Google, yes. :(

[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

I don't trust google. Ask someone in real life and get back to me. Lol

[-] Jela@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Would ~~hair~~ nail thinning or balding still exist?

What would that look like?

[-] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You hâve to go to the nail dresser too. If you nailr is too long you can't lay flat and sleep.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago
