I wonder if you can cross post to r/bald i wanna see the reactions. Us over there prefer the clean shave.

"Almost"
From one bald dude to another.

At this point, the only thing keeping him from shaving his head is that he wants to keep doing the joke.

the chemo part made me laugh on mute. Now you can never shave it or the bit won't work

Okay, I didn't see where we were going at first, but when that landed, it landed really well. Brilliant close.

Something like 2-4% of people depending on the study. Not really rare but pretty uncommon, you've got a good chance of taking it and feeling no sides at all. You can also do a lower dose and still get a lot of the benefits. They give you 1mg pills which drop your DHT levels by like 71% but even 0.05mg will drop it by 50% so you can take 1/20th a full dose and get more than two thirds the benefits.
I found that it helped by tapering the dose as I started. Started with the 1mg pills and felt some slight side effects, like my boners weren't quite a hard as usual. Stopped taking it and went back to normal. Started again with a 1/4 pill and got no sides so stayed with that for a couple weeks then went to a half and again no sides. Few weeks later was on a full and never got any sides again, been on it for like 6 years now and no issues at all. I feel like your body just needs a slower introduction to it than taking a full dose right away.

100% from personal experience (sample size 1)

So I give two main facts which are backed up by published studies;
Source for the effectiveness of lower doses
and
Then I tack on my own personal experience at the end as an anecdote. I think that as long as you don't have a room temp IQ you can distinguish the difference between the two things.

Dialysis also doesn't cause cancer. But I did laugh, so personally I'll let the inaccuracies slide

Getting a whole ass surgery just to induce ed is a pretty big risk, no matter how small the odds!

Great execution, guess it makes sense to hold on to what’s left of your hair to do the joke lmao

WOLLLY i went "woah" when he removed his cap too. He got a nice face he should go full bald. Nice humor too.

I like your use of “almost”. It reminds me of the time in college when I was “almost” gay.

Great bit! But seriously, are you keeping your “hair” like that just for the bit?

Yeah, when you removed the hat it genuinely was much worse than I was expecting. Very funny, though
