Wait... She may have unlocked lower-neck upper-back scratching tech without realizing it was leaving a mark.

Had someone in school forget to take a pencil out of their hair during gym class and flipped onto a mat and drove it about 2 inches into their neck. Screaming, blood, ambulance, all of it. So umm…yeah. I can’t help but cringe when I see this after that experience.

I read once that those plastic hair clips blow up peoples heads in car wrecks, now I can't wear a hat while driving.

You can tell me it's just the tip but if you don't put a lid on it you're fucked.

Not in any real world. Bringing that to a lawyer or a policing agency would get you laughed out of the room

Edit: but yeah, probably just tell her, don't randomly touch peoples hair, lol

but don't let that stop you from trying!

edit: clearly I was wrong. see a comment further down for my explanation

that really looks like a black cap at the top.

maybe I'm wrong, and I'm definitely not gonna get into an online argument over this.

It really looks like a clicker, and my entire day is now dedicated to getting into an argument about this.

I love how the lips are on the right side of her face..

That's the arm of the person in front of her holding on to the bar the save way she is.

I said right side, not left side..

But also, WTF is up with that jacked up hand on the left side, holding a metal pole that seems to neither be mounted horizontally nor vertically?

I still see AI slop, you just helped me see more of it...

lol, maybe it is a clicky pen. the pic isn't clear enough to be absolutely sure, so I concede.

edit: in fact, just because the black/white transition appears to be more of a seam without a thickness steppage that you'd see with a cap, I believe it to be more likely a clicky pen than a capped pen. so you're probably correct.

My favorite arguments are the ones my opponents win for me

But seriously, I didn't think so at first, but I can see that round nubbin is definitely a clicker even with such poor focus

I honestly can't see it clearly enough to discern a mechanism amidst the hair, and, in total, it still looks much more like a capped pen to me, but as I said in my edit, because of the smooth physicality and lack of thickness steppage that you'd see with a capped pen, it must be a clicky pen.

and I wouldn't characterize this as an argument. just a friendly discussion ;)

The hell is wrong with you. This is precisely the type of thing internet arguments we're designed for. Al Gore didn't die creating the internet for you to backdown on an opportunity to heatedly engage in passionate yet irrelevant discourse ending in demeaning explicit insults of some stranger.

Could it actually be an AI pen?

To me it looks like it fades into the hair instead of going through it. And then there's the hand holding onto the roof rail a little further forward.

THIS IS WHY STICK PENS NEED TO BE SOLD MORE OFTEN

sorry I'm a huge pen nerd and I LOVE stick pens but you'll be lucky to find a single one in a whole stationary aisle I swear to god. and even if one is sold, who's to say it'll fit your needs because I think the only ones I've seen are usually felt tip and not everyone likes that kind of tip.

What exactly is a stick pen? An image search shows one of those pens with a removable cap?

I've tried those before, but the caps always end up disappearing on me, and it felt quite "cheap" quality (BIC Cristal for example)... but maybe there's some better brands?

8

yep! stick pens are just ones with a cap instead of the clicky retractable style.

yeah there are definitely some better brands out there. I really enjoy Pilot pens generally, but the favorite pen I've ever used is the Uniball AIR rollerball <3 I just wish they made it refillable because I'd rather not have to buy a whole new pen when I finish one :(

This is pretty cool IMO. A study made from this where a large group of people had a pen like this and then you compare the patterns.
They'll definitely be different based on so many things like what kind of work you do, hobbies, obesity, "phone neck", how much of a social life you have, what kind of devices you use most.
Now I realise that there are too many variables, still would be cool to see differences in patterns from different individuals.
