A

We wear ties at the base of our necks not the base of our heads

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 57 points 2 months ago

Yes fellow human. That is what we do. Just normal people things.

[-] poinck@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Remember: They are nervous. B is more likely. ^^

[-] THE_STORM_BLADE@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

B is more true to life.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Two bears fighting

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 65 points 2 months ago

A tie is worn at the bottom of the neck.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

well is it supposed to go there or does everyone put it there because gravity forces us to

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 13 points 2 months ago

Wearing a tie higher on your neck moves you into the kink zone.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

i wear mine as a nose piercing

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

It hangs over the shirt to protect the more expensive shirt.

[-] leds@feddit.dk 32 points 2 months ago

C! at that middle joint? thing

[-] testo12@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah, A would work fine if it was shorter, but dragging on the floor doesn't work. C still offers the color contrast of red tie against the black chitin, which looks smart on him.

Ties are worn around the base of the neck, and the neck is the flexible thin part that connects the head. I see position A as being well below the flex point, which would be like wearing the tie low on the shoulders. That's why I would prefer it at the bottom end of the joint, position C. One could reasonably argue that anything above where the body narrows down towards the neck is part of the neck, in which case A would also make sense.

Semantics on where a neck starts aside, position B is clearly at the top of the neck and is therefore just nonsense not even worth considering.

Also position C lets the tie hang neatly down the front of the body as it should, rather than dragging the ground or dangling loosely in midair.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

My first instinct was A, at the base of the neck. But now that I think about it I think I agree with this more. I think it could be argued that at the joint is where the neck really begins, and that the narrow part beneath that is still part of the body. And I think it would look better (and more professional!) if our weevil friend wore his tie there.

[-] weariedfae@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

While my first instinct was A, that leaves the tie dragging along the ground, so for a long tie I'd have to go with B so the tie doesn't get all dirty. Best of both worlds work be a bow tie in position A.

[-] Synthuir@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

Clearly needs a tie clip!

[-] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 2 months ago

A is definitely the lesser of two weevils.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 22 points 2 months ago

I feel like they'd wear a bow tie because neither of these options looks professional.

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 15 points 2 months ago
[-] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 months ago

B looks v profesh if he stands up straight and speaks with diction

[-] dhtseany@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

He'd have to show good posture to show he's an upright kinda guy.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Also he can swing that shit to pull mad bitches

[-] SerotoninSwells@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

My mom taught me growing up that you can never be too professional. Going by that advice, I think A & B at the same time is the clear answer.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Bow tie at the top, neck tie at the bottom.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Asking for a friend?

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

This is exactly the kind of silly shit I come here for. Bravo!

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

At the bend of the second neck, it’s in between both options so it is the most politically correct.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

B but it has to be longer. The more elegant the dongle the more attractive he is to HR

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

WEEVIL SEEN. MUST SHILL WEEVILTIME. !weeviltime@sh.itjust.works

[-] HarbingerOfTomb@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

B, but with a tie clip! He's no philistine.

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

Nah it shows real tenacity and grit with a real selftied tie, as a weevil doesn't have opposable thumbs. So it takes real skill to tie the tie.

[-] gandalf_der_12te@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

They wouldn't wear a leash because they aren't a dog.

[-] squid_slime@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

a tie sits on the shoulders so the tie of a Giraffe Weevil would need to sit much lower than is illustrated.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Some say A, some say B, I guess it's a tie.
