    i can count the number of decent mustaches i've seen with my own eyes on one hand

    make better personal grooming decisions

        don't worry comrade, he's present and accounted for

        even though he had the bad courtesy to die well before i was born

      I've never tried to grow one, but I've heard it takes more work than you'd think to make it look good

        as the former owner of a particularly awful puberty 'stache i can confirm this is the case

        does it count as decent if you're intentionally trying to look offputting?

        a question for the ages

      light bulbs make pop sound on ground

      ground makes feet hurt

      feet hurt makes me grumpy

      me grumpy makes vibes bad

      vibes bad makes bad times

    Sorry to say I'm partially responsible, in like 2009 me and one of my weirder sapphic friends were super into facial hair in a campy genderfuck way, and mustaches are both the dumbest and the easiest-to-apply facial hair so they got the most play

    Was a bit baffling watching cishet zooey deschanel girls get in on the trend (in the most boring possible way)

    does anyone else remember when people would put big mustaches on the front of their cars? for some strange reason most of the people who did that in my town all owned VW beetles

      That was meant to signify a car was a Lyft car iirc before they realized they could get the same effect with a sticker lol

        this was before lyft, but the one person that I knew with a car mustache was a weird theater kid in high school lol, so if lyft stuck with that I would assume they exclusively hired theater kids as drivers

        For years they all seemed to have big pots of cartoony flowers in the middle of the dashboard as well.

    I hate God for not giving me the ability to grow a mustache

    Agreed but it had collateral damage. In 2014 the trend accidentally created the most unfairly maligned Eurovision entry of modern times:

    Twin Twin's "Moustache"

    A bright, hoppy French electro-pop song poking fun at overly-macho narcissistic dudes and baby faced popstars alike. It's catchy, fun, bright, with Major Lazer-esque production touches that were sniffed at before every Scandi-for-hire entry over the next few years also did it to more success.

    It came dead last. A fate it didn't even come close to deserving.

        :rat-salute-2: Not sure whether you mean then or now but it's an overlooked gem.

        Eventually I might just start posting a Eurovision track with some background every week as an antidote to the endless Euro-nonsense I endure.

    mustaches are bad 99% of the time as actual facial hair

    100% when it's this stupid shit

      No, this stupid shit is good when it's trans women ironically reclaiming it.

      So 99.9%

          Given the complicated relationship we tend to have with our facial hair, I think trans women doing shit with these cartoony fake moustaches can be kinda funny

      watching The Orville and there's a bit where Pilot Guy convinces Bortus to get a mustache which requires medical intervention to do, telling him he'd "look better"

      should have been a beard, I'm sorry but mustaches are just bleh, beards are :strangelove-wow:
