Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is one of the best mildly interesting posts I have ever seen.

[–] frosty@pawb.social 4 points 10 months ago

^^ This.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Look closer at the left split. OOHHHH BABY A TRIPLE!

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Ooo I didn't notice that until zooming in on the picture! 5 ends might be bordering on actually interesting.

Lol.

What you think is the second split, is actually the shadow.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm taking about this part: https://files.catbox.moe/vdd9zb.jpg

Isn't that the 'triple'?

I only see two splits.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 2 points 10 months ago

I might've cropped in too close the first time. https://files.catbox.moe/e42k6l.jpg

I am not sure how to put it nicely, but it is commonly considered a sign of bad maintenance to have split hair.

[–] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 32 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It's mildlyinteresting, not roastme or haircare advice.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago

calm down guys, we're splitting hairs here

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but if OP thinks this everyday thingy is mildly interesting, they might not know about it and profit from an explanation. And as I said I am specifically trying to not roast OP.

[–] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

I think a double split end is a pretty great fit for mildly interesting? It's not that it's a split end, it's that the split ends then split.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

That's a really low bar for a roast.

[–] XM34@feddit.org 14 points 10 months ago

Lol 😂 If your hair reaches a certain length you are gonna have splits, no mater what. That's just how it is. Sure, you can reduce it with good care and regular cutting, but I don't think I know a single long haired person who doesn't have at least some split hairs.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

Some beard hairs are splitting.
Happens because I kinda like to involuntarily chew on them

I heard you like splits...

[–] diptchip@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Could it actually be a quadruple split end if we had more than potato camera? I can see 5 ends in this picture.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I was considering one split=two ends, so was calling it a double-split (four ends) since it only looked like four to the naked eye, the fifth end only apparent in the picture after I posted.

[–] diptchip@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

ENHANCE!

[–] dukatos@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

that was an one sharp knife
