Dawg like a year ago I came back into the office for the first time since Covid and all the 20 year olds had somewhere between pedo stashes and handlebars. Zoomers crack me up they’re great
It’s partly because of Top Gun and some other recent pop culture occurrence I can’t recall off the top of my head. But yeah, I know several people at work who recently started doing it as well, and one of them mentioned that as their inspiration. I’m guessing a few started bc of that and more followed suit, because why not or something.
You’d be surprised. Just Google it, there are tons of pop magazines and websites that discuss it and how it was trending on TikTok for awhile after the movie came out. And just to add, most fads begin with celebrities/influencers starting them across the various age demographics.
I think zoomers are young enough not to have the generational memory of how creepy mustaches are, so suddenly they're cool again. I'm afraid it'll last until the zoomers are old enough to be the creepy ones.
Yeah, beards have been common since at least the ‘hipster/lumbersexual’ memes which were about 2008 or so. There’s not been any particular drop off since then. It’s just accepted that some people prefer or look better with a beard.
Yeah, I haven’t been clean shaven since I could first pull off a beard. Last time I saw my naked face was 15 years ago.
That said, I have started to put more effort into my beard to try to keep up with trends. Growing it out, oiling it, shaping the edges. It’s fun, but I still find myself trimming it down after too long just to make it easier to manage.
What oil are you using? Hands down the best stuff I have ever tried is from a small New Zealand brand called Lambert’s Luscious Beard Oils. I started getting compliments at work after switching to that stuff.
Beards are where the Communism is stored. As the ruling class become richer and more obscene, class consciousness grows amongst the working class. Hence, beards.
This happens to me consistently on Linux Mint. My secondary monitor which is an HDMI TV resumes fine and takes over as primary. The primary screen on a Display Port over USB fails to wake up.
I’m using the edge kernel line, version 6.5. I’ll try to downgrade to 5.15 to check if this is a kernel regression.
I’m running an AMD system with embedded graphics from Minisforum, btw. What are you running and which kernel?
i got pop (fresher kernel?) and xorg but same issue you described. i keep unplugged unless i am using it but also since it will limit main monitor fps.
I have tried disconnecting and then connecting the display to see if it will wake up, but it doesn’t work. Sometimes shutting down the display and turning it on again work.
I managed to get it on kernel 5.15 and replicate the issue. I had to find its USB-C charger to keep it on while I power down my monitor otherwise it would hard shutdown it. So, connecting the monitor back, the weirdest thing just happened. The display rearranged, but didn’t use the new monitor. Instead, the lock screen got resized and I could see my session behind it without logging in (!).
I’ve got this on dmesg: [119330.829398] amdgpu 0000:63:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* no VCPI for [MST PORT:00000000e7b3da3d] found in mst state 000000005563f49a

I got it to switch monitors using Cinammon’s Display app, but it will not take two displays at the same time.
Weirdest thing is I could swear it didn’t use to happen on Mint 21 until I both upgraded to 21.2 and switched to the edge low latency kernel. It doesn’t bother me much, and everything else just works, plus I’m addicted to aptitude so I need a Debian based distro.
I mean, they were never out in Afghanistan. I think we have to confine discussion to the West here, where I assume OP lives.
You could go back to the 19th century in America, but beards were definitely out from the 1920s to 60s. IIRC it was chemical warfare that killed the beard, because they don’t fit under a gas mask, and dudes all want to look like a tough guy. After that, the counterculture brought them back for people involved. I’m less clear on post-Cold-War trends.
Unfortunately, more recent information is googlebombed with people’s lightly supported fluff pieces, so a cursory look didn’t turn anything like this up for the 80’s, 90’s, 00’s, and 10’s.
Now that I think about it, you can just extrapolate that curve forwards and it matches anecdotal data about the 80’s and 90’s, reaching a similar smooth face extreme around 1990 to peak beard in the 1890. By that logic, it’s a 2-century cycle, and we’ll be back to all beards late this century.
That’s the tism side of my brain. The ADHD side of my brain thinks shaving is the most boring chore ever. I fold and put away my laundry with greater frequency.
