Are your ears part of your face?

[drorbedrack@mastodon.social]

@davidnjoku Finally! Asking the real questions!

[davidnjoku@mastodon.world]

@DrorBedrack to hell with political correctness: I'm asking the big questions. I don't care who it shocks!

[alltherum@freeradical.zone]

@davidnjoku *hides in the corner so the question can't hurt me*

[davidnjoku@mastodon.world]

@mikej You listened to the podcast too? Have to admit that I'd never considered the question until they talked about it. But I think they said no too quickly; it's not as straightforward as they made it sound.

@davidnjoku@mastodon.world I'm bursting to answer this poll but I feel so superstitious about answering like my ears might disappear in protest of I answer wrong

[davidnjoku@mastodon.world]

@catmisgivings And then you'd have to wear a monocle instead of glasses. It's about time someone made them cool again

[chris_e_simpson@hachyderm.io]

@davidnjoku need a "can't decide" option for me and, I'm guessing, 11 million other mastodon users.

[catmisgivings@stranger.social]

@davidnjoku@mastodon.world my dad briefly wore a monocle. Only one eye needed correction!

@davidnjoku

Most definitely yes, at least on the Brittish Isles and Ireland. (See also Shane McGowan, the current Sovereign and plenty of others.)

[len@nyan.network]

@davidnjoku don't ask me such difficult questions, my brain can't handle it!

[mamalake@beige.party]

@davidnjoku if I draw someone without ears, did I draw their full face?

[pisheng@shih.ch]

@davidnjoku A breathtaking finale

[arjan@todon.nl]

@davidnjoku
are your ears part of my face when I bite them?

[davidnjoku@mastodon.world]

@pisheng I've been enjoying watching it. The Yeses were nowhere at the start - just around 20%. Now they're making a comeback

[semantikast@openbiblio.social]

@davidnjoku Dunno why but in German we have an expression "an ass/a butt with ears" ("Arsch mit Ohren") and somehow that popped into my head

[outer@mas.to]

@davidnjoku @DrorBedrack I'm shocked! Shocked!

[beecycling@wandering.shop]

@davidnjoku If ears are face then earmuffs are masks.

I voted no, but I'm now thinking about animals whose ears stand up on top of their heads, especially if they face forward and maybe even move, changing the look of their face.

@davidnjoku

ears do convey expression and do interact with the facial/vocal muscles, so yes. Ears are absolutely part of the face.
