    PSA for people actually worrying about this: human anatomy doesn’t work this way and it can’t actually happen. Your human body is capable of much more pernicious things that are much more unspeakably horrible than what you see here. So you should focus on that instead. Cheers 🥂

      I know it doesn’t work this way. That would be ridiculous. But that won’t stop my brain from imagining it from time to time going forward.

      I have this one eyelash that grows really long and sticks in my eye. It takes it ages to get to that length but then it’s really irritating until I cut it and cutting a single eyelash is not easy.

        Honestly plucking it might be a little painful, but I’d imagine immensely more safe than having a pair of blades close to your eye to try and trim it…

              All hair falls out eventually. It’s designed to do that to keep different hairs at different terminal lengths. That doesn’t mean plucking a hair from an active follicle is the same as a hair falling out during the shedding phase. It’s not as bad as shaving to the skin, but still more traumatic than falling out naturally.
