minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoSo I have a follow up question, let’s say someone has 20cm long hair, all of them are that long, we don’t see 5/10cm hair still growing to get to 20, I’m confused, how does that work?
minus-square@givesomefuckslinkEnglish20•1 year agoYou don’t see them because the longer hair covers them up. They’re still there. If it happened to big patches at once it would stand out, but that’s not how it works.
