Apparently the title is a meme taking from DragonBall Z https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dont-you-lecture-me-with-your...
I don’t even pay $30 for a haircut…
Mine maybe when inflation-adjusted.

#72This website is inane, juvenile and has no real use. And for all those reasons I love it. Kudos to HN for being a place where I can find things that just bring some silly fun to my life. I remember in the early days of the Interwebs, there was so many sites just like this one. You didn't have to go to FB, IG or some other content mill to find them. Plus, when you did find one, it had the same feeling of excitement as…
Adding my useless website to the list: http://magickeyboard.io - it’s fun to build one-off random sites and put them out there :)
Surprisingly ... uh, motivational to type. Add a small editor screen on the bottom and it could be some version of written? kitten!

I kinda wish I could test going the full bald shaved head thing… before doing it.
If you go for a very short buzz you'll have a good idea of your head shape, and whether it'll help or hurt if you go hairless. I've heard that shaving it is actually a lot of work, so investing in some good clippers and buzzing is likely easier.
Been bald for two years roundabout a decade ago, before and after that having long hair. And oh yes, bald is like 10x more work - at least if you go for bowling-ball-grade of baldness. Never shave when you are in a rush and enter a public transport 5 minutes later.

My haircut is like PROD. Not gonna put an intern on it. :P
Until last month, I hadn't gotten a paid haircut since the start of the pandemic. Got a decent pair of clippers with a taper guard, and did "okay" except for the edging on the back, which I learned to just not worry about (though my wife has done it a couple of times, and it comes out decent then)
If you have a baseball cap you can hold the brim (pointed down!) against the back of your neck and trim along it for something half decent :)
Re: Don't you lecture me with your thirty dollar website
#76I got the context. But can someone explain how this is funny?
It’s basically a giant inside joke. Explaining it won’t do any good, not helped by the fact that in a lot of cases with ironic and absurdist humor, it’s not really funny on its own premise. The meme basically took the phrase “Don’t lecture me with your thirty dollar haircut” and stuck it next to a bunch of emoji. For some reason, this transformed into videos where the emoji was interpreted as memetic audio clips. In…
All the psychology u need to understand is that it’s a __meme__

There are more sites like this one today, by at least an order of magnitude, than existed in the early lift-off days of the Web (~1993-1997). You'd struggle to build a mediocre version of this site in the early days of the Web. And it'd try to eat your browser alive as you used it if someone managed to use early Flash or an applet to shoehorn it onto the Web back then. HN itself is, in part, a link content mill. No d…

There are probably 3 orders of magnitude more crap though, so the good stuff is harder to find. And the random fun stuff doesn't bother with SEO so it's easy to feel like the internet is full of more crap, because it is. In the early days people were building websites for fun, nowadays people are doing it for money (or marketing, or they feel obligated to have a LinkedIn even if they hate it, or whatever - nobody used to feel obligated to use the internet). Sure, there are still some gems, but they're drowned out by turds.
The early days are more fun because true believers are building something they really care about, by the time something becomes mainstream it's already generic.
Your point about music doesn't apply because music has existed for millenia. The internet has existed for decades.

always had a feeling balding and not having the hormones to grow beard had its benefits

You missed your window. March of 2020 was the perfect time to try something like this.
