If...
 

Right, here is where you pose a hypathetical scenario or situation to the other members of this forum, and hopefully we will get little discussions going. To be honest I only really started this thread to pose one hypathetical situation to people, because I was having a really ****ed up conversation about it with all the ****ing weirdos in the architecture studio last week, but I have a few scenarios we also brought up that are important to talk about I think. Also, please post your own after I have posted and after discussing my scenario and seeing an example of the one I have posted.



Alright here is the first one...




What if........




When you cut your hair ( by a scissors or whatever )........


It BLED!!!!!!!!!:yikes:


Well first of all, everyone would have longer hair for one, even the guys. Secondly, barbers and hairdressers would be out of the business. I mean, if I am cutting off a part of myself and it is going to bleed, I would either want to do it myself or get a surgical proffesional to do it.

A friend of mine, we will call him Sandwich, even posed the scenario... Imagine if when your hair was cut, not only would it bleed, but start crying, he thought that would be sad.( Sandwich is a bit weird )


Please! Please discuss.

I really need to be stoned for this I feel, but what the heck.

Obviously people would be way less vain about their hair, some people may never cut it at all because it would be like cutting your skin. People with shaved heads would be the most rebellious mother****ers alive, that or just look like they got in horrible accidents.

Getting gum stuck in there would be a whole new kind of nightmare.

Balding men and people with alopecia would be considered humanitarians.

Oh jesus yeah, getting gum stuck would suck! And everyone would probably grow their hair in dreadlocks? Or would they comb their hair? Hmmm.

Because if you got a whole dreadlock cut off...I mean...thats a lot of blood lost, but at the same time, you are not losing hair every time you comb it. Pony tails would be a good idea too I think, keep your hair safe.





Yeah good point Exoskeletal. I think it needs saying that if you view your hair as another dude on your head, the idea that you are balding is like..." Auh man, theres a hairy dude dying on my head, thats ****ed up "

I wouldn't cut a dude if he was chillin on my head, you know what I'm sayin?

Maybe our bodies are just a growth medium for the hair and our sense of self is merely the collective consciousness of all the hairs feeding on our heads? When they reach maturity they fall off and go off to start a new body.

Man, you literally just blew my friggin mind.

Here's one: what if we are all actually mentally challenged. We think that we take drugs when we really just take our vitamins, the instruments that we play are just toys, us and our friends go on playdates instead of hanging out, etc. Would this mean that those who we see as the mentally challenged are actually the intelligencia that keeps society together, and we are just hassling them when we think that we're helping them?

I've had a few playdates where me and my friends took several vitamins and discussed this thought to a great extent.

I laughed so loud at this. I think it's because you're being deadly serious.

Anyway, plaits would be good too. They can stay in for dayssss so you wouldn't have the risk of combing so often. Straighteners and other heated hair styler things would be a no no too, they make your hair snap! Imagine that?! It'd be a bloodbath.

Idk if mentioned already but imagine a hair straightener. It would be like puttin your head in the oven.

What frigging hair? :(

Manscaping would go from a socially acceptable form of grooming to a dirty and taboo fetish.

It would have totally changed humanity. For as long as we have existed, we would have been covering our hair to protect it. Long leather "hair-sheathes" would probably have been standard, and since the hair could never be cut without hurting yourself, my guess is that most would have their hair tied up so that it couldn't tangle or tear on things. The old would have super long hair.

...Or would there even BE any older people? If your hair starts going away, would you lose enough blood that you would die? Would the only elderly be the ones that never lose their hair?

Also, everyone would be 100% hairier overall. No shaving, face or otherwise.

:afro:

I don't think that we'd suffer as it falls off, really. Those with fair hair would be pussies and those with tougher horse like hair would be badasses, I'm guessing.

Wouldn't tying up your hair be a bugger for circulation?

I was listening to a song on my iPod today called Cassius - Almost cut my hair, but it's not on youtube :(

Almost Cut My Hair (HD HIGHEST RES ON YT) - Live Wembley 1974 - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - YouTube

This thought scares me. Like...Who is taking care of me if this is true?

it's not crosby, stills, nash and young :( I listened to it to make sure :(.

There would be racism then on the colour of your hair.

Like Ginger people would be seen as people that are dying because their hair is the colour of blood.




Hmmm. good point. I guess its like your ears, I mean if you tied them up would it annoy you?.....

Probably. I'd say you would only notice the circulatory problems when you tie large parts of it up. Like imagine instead of slitting somone's throat, just cutting off their ponytail, and they die of blood loss.




Lol, would men be sexier or un sexier? Hmmm

This icks me out! Imagine it though, people would chop off peoples hair and cause them to bleed to death...

I was stoned about two months ago, and a commercial for starving children came on the air.

It was brought up by a friend of mine: "What if people don't need food to live? What if the fact that we eat is what ultimately kills us, and that all of those starving children are starving because their ancestors ate too much?"

It's highly improbable, but being stoned, it was horrific to think about.

Thats really cool actually, never thought of it that way. Like eating was some addiction or disease that we had to satisfy because of our ancestors'addiction.


A friend of mine once said, what if we don't need sleep? What if it was something our ancestors did when it was dark just to be safer. And now we feel we need it. lol

I realize it's the pot talking, but the logic that sleeping is safer seems a little weird to me. While asleep, you can't really defend yourself against an attack or move yourself out of harm's way so sleeping could be regarded as risky.

But you are somewhere elected safe, usually, somewhere where you are not out doing something like hunting or picking berries.
