This subject hits close to home for me. As you can see from my profile picture, I have a beard. I thought it was a simple facial hair choice. I had no idea a monster lurked just below my own chin.

Bored Panda and Beards From Below can be credited with the discovery that when a bearded man looks straight up, he is instantly transformed into a faceless horror that children and pets should not have to see. So to anyone who has been subjected to a beard’s sordid underbelly, we apologize.
