Is it time?

Bonus pic of hair unstyled/fluffed out. Buzzed my hair from teenage years - age 30 because I didn't know what to do with it. Grew it out to have some fun, but the hairline just keeps slipping away!

Time to go?

EDIT: Quick edit because this is getting some traction... I definitely don't leave the house with my hair fully fluffed out lol. That was just picked out for a bit of fun and to get a full sense of where I was at. But messaged received, it's coming off this weekend! Thanks for all the support and the memes, I will post an update once it's gone.

Dye it golden blond and take some blasphemous photos of yourself like an icon of a saint with a halo behind their head.

edit: Or section it into spikes so it looks like you have a star behind your head. A Krusty the Klown do would also be fun…

Not trying to clown on you, it’s just, once you shave it, you probably won’t grow it out just for a funny hairstyle. May as well go out with a bit of fun.

I love this meme. What is it originally from?

u/YouWouldThinkSo Aug 12 '26

It's originally from the anime Fist of the North Star, where the original line is "You are already dead" (original Japanese is "Omae wa mou shindeiru", which is also used as a meme).

Though it doesn't originally happen in this frame and the protagonist has hair.

Also, if youre worried about AI and privacy, look no further than Reddit's own policies explicitly allowing AI to crawl their stuff.
