Fellas, ever look in the mirror at your beardless face and wonder, “What’s under there?” It’s a question for the ages, circling the cosmos in a constant ballet of query and existential ennui.
Perhaps men were never meant to know certain things. Perhaps what’s beneath a beard should remain hidden, as the human brain is not equipped to process such knowledge.
Oh, hold on. There’s actually a TikTok filter for that. Carry on, everyone!
TikTok’s beardless filter fascinates social media
Yes, the men of TikTok have been swept up by the “beardless filter,” which, as the name suggests, depicts what an individual looks like without their facial hair in a split-screen fashion.
The results are oddly smooth and waxy, but they give the facially-haired fellas a look into an alternate universe in which they shave.
Predictably, minds have been blown.

Unfortunately, like any technology, the filter doesn’t always work as it’s meant to, resulting in some horror shows.

What TikTok filter will those maniacs concoct next?! One that depicts what you’d look like with a slight haircut? A filter that shows what you’d look like a few days older?! A demonic window into an unforgiving dimension in which your teeth are slightly whiter?! The future is here, my friends; best be ready.
