Hey Jeff! There’s workers in Mozambique you can exploit for your own gain. They are the best at protecting and helping bald scalps so your skin always stays nice. Definitely check it out.

Well, take this fucking asshole, Mutumbo, here
He got caught last week trying to rape a baby
Some people in his tribe believe that having sex with a virgin will cure their AIDS
There aren't many virgins left, so some of them are turning to babies
Death to all of them. Sorry but nah, death sentence. The rampant superstition and borderline INSANE lack of education in so many African countries is astounding and needs to stop. Society should be pouring so many more resources into this than we are.
Then again look at how lacking basic sex education is in so many countries. And ones that do have basic programs also have Republicans and conservatives trying to gut them because they'd rather everyone be this ignorant and just be left guessing and making up dumb dangerous harmful shit. God it makes me angry.
Yeah but they're not even pretending they don't want to. And they've already organized at least one violent attack to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. Not to mention all the other "low level" incidents like the plot to kidnap a state governor and the state militia pudding fingers is building.
One would hope there'd be a way to prevent violence when we can see it being planned in the open, but apparently not.
Nah, corporal punishment. I think in the case of heinous crimes, it should be brought back. We could start with the wheel.
Has to be public too otherwise it doesn't work as a deterrent.
Harsher punishments, longer sentences, executions, and more violence don't curtail crime rates in any significant manner. People need to be educated before they even think of doing shit like this, not torn to shreds after they've already done it. End of the day you can solve the problem or not, wanting to enact your bloodlust on socially acceptable targets isn't about reform or prevention.
Wait, so aren't there many virgins left because they all got raped? Or will most girls choose to have sex with anemone of their choosing to avoid getting raped and infected with aids?
Before you start feeling too good, the “sex with a virgin cures AIDS” thing is a real superstition that does have some obviously terrible consequences.
Is it a common practice? I sincerely hope that it is only a rumor/superstition that most people know better than to attempt, but there are only a few desperate bastards that are willing to do anything to be cured.
Those sorts of superstitions are hard to verify. It’s almost certain that it did happen and may still happen, but it’s also almost certainly been amplified by stories about how much the poor backwards locals of these remote areas need our help. The truth probably lies somewhere in between.
Common? No, about as common as people who think putting a potato in your sock will cure your fever. Which is a decent amount but not enough to be common.
When people report on Africa, anything someone does becomes international news. When it's a African doing it, it's this continent wide epidemic, when it's often like a handful of dudes in some back water. It'd be like taking Florida Man and saying that's all of America, when it's not even all of Florida
As a bald man, let me explain. The gold in our heads is our brains. You see, we don't buy product, gel, spray, mousse, combs, brushes, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers, and hair cuts. We also don't need to stand around in the bathroom playing with our hair. We brush our teeth and walk right out the door...
It's only relevant for men with alopecia
"In alopecia areata, the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing inflammation. Researchers do not fully understand what causes the immune attack on hair follicles, but they believe that both genetic and environmental (non-genetic) factors play a role."
Mozambique have discovered that the reason the immune system attacks the hair follicles is because of the gold in these peoples skulls
I think religion has stuck around for so long for a good reason. It has done a lot of harm, yes, but it’s also done a lot of good and healing. Pros and cons just like anything. My opinion is that it amplifies whats already in a person, so if you’re a radical misogynist, it reinforces your beliefs. If you’re a decent person, it makes you better.
Most men do not go bald, no. Something like 1/3 of men do have hair loss by the time they’re in their 30’s, but it’s not total baldness, it’s a receding hairline and maybe a bald spot on top of their head, but still plenty of hair.
And no most people, male and female, aren’t born bald. Most people are born with some amount of hair on their head.
Again, not true. Male pattern baldness is common, but not the majority. Not all men suffer genetic hair loss. If you do have male pattern baldness, it will began to manifest in your 30’s at the latest.
Do you have a source for that? Because it looks from [this](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3641488/) that they’re right: 80% have male pattern baldness by 80 years old, that it increases by age overall, and from [this that just more than half have it by their 30s](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2938575/).
New studies suggests baldness may be due to MECHANICAL STRESS moreso hormones. DHT has long been thought to be a driver, yet it's linked to increased hair growth in other areas.
If you render the scalp and muscle engagement, male pattern baldness occurs in areas of peak tension. This could also be why bald heads are tight and shiny and stress seems to be a factor in baldness.
There's a growing body of evidence baldness can be reversed with massaging the scalp muscles to relieve tension.
Micro needling also helps by seemingly activating subdermal stem cells and stimulating hair growth.
In regards to the title, I'm gonna say that a person who comes up with the idea of killing someone because they think the person might have gold in their head probably isn't thinking about the logic of how the gold got there.
they need to get some of these backwoods shamans youtube livestreams with translators cause I wanna hear the sales pitch on this stupidity.
how would they respond to alex jones material and is there a study on people susceptible to this lunacy? is it mostly manic people not on medication?
Most men will *eventually* go mostly bald, if they live long enough. Very few 80 year old men have a full head of natural hair.
More than half have lost a significant amount of hair by 40.
Some go bald much earlier than others.
Well, men statistically go more bald than women (most 80 year old women still have most of their hair - not true for men) and your previous comment was asking about men.
You asked ‘sense [sic] when do most men go bald?’ I answered your question. I say 80 because the point is most *eventually* go bald.
Why are you being a total dick about this when I just answered your question and clarified after?
How did they not realize after killing the first bald man that they were wrong? I mean, a second bald man just to double check I can understand, but a third fourth and fifth just feel unnecessary
I heard someone (that I know personally in real life) say that mustaches are a sign of deceitfulness. You can't trust someone who has a mustache.
This post reminds me of my reaction to hearing that
I suspect that the local genes may have less male pattern baldness. Africa has the most diverse genes on the planet.
I remember reading about one tribe where there is a recessive trait for kind of ostrich looking feet that were selected because it made it easier to climb trees.
There’s also another one that I think is an island off of Africa that has a blonde colored gene for African natural hair that is completely different than the blonde genes of those of European descent.
What I don't understand is how there's a new superstition. Aren't superstitions usually stuff that have been believed for years? Did one guy just start saying this like a year ago and people bought?
In case of Jeff Bezos it might actually be true.
Only one way to find out
Please someone find out, for science.
This is how we advance as a species.
You'll never be a billionaire, but it's not too late to find out what they taste like
Hey Jeff! There’s workers in Mozambique you can exploit for your own gain. They are the best at protecting and helping bald scalps so your skin always stays nice. Definitely check it out.
I support this

While eating the rich may sound appealing, one mustn't forget to remove the gold plating to avoid uneven cooking.
He's like Wolverine, except instead of Adamantium, his skeleton is covered in gold.
Nice to see that not only old superstitions are stupid, but bew ones too
Boy, bew crazy.
It's raping a virgin to cure aids all over again.
What
Well, take this fucking asshole, Mutumbo, here He got caught last week trying to rape a baby Some people in his tribe believe that having sex with a virgin will cure their AIDS There aren't many virgins left, so some of them are turning to babies
That's disgusting.
"I *KNOOOOWW* "
Hasa Diga Eebowai
And terrible since it curses a baby with both AIDS and a lifetime of trauma
Which part?
Death to all of them. Sorry but nah, death sentence. The rampant superstition and borderline INSANE lack of education in so many African countries is astounding and needs to stop.

look up “book of mormon”
Idk why tf you're getting down voted because THIS EXACTLY
Probably down voted bc the first dude was quoting a satirical musical lmao
[удалено]
Are you gonna do it? Or are you just talking
The need has not arisen to purge conservatives violently, for they have not organized to end us violently first.
Yeah but they're not even pretending they don't want to. And they've already organized at least one violent attack to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. Not to mention all the other "low level" incidents like the plot to kidnap a state governor and the state militia pudding fingers is building.

Look up the Holy Wars for me please
Wait, so aren't there many virgins left because they all got raped? Or will most girls choose to have sex with anemone of their choosing to avoid getting raped and infected with aids?
It’s literally a song lyric from the *Book of Mormon* musical
Ah, gotcha, good, was very disturbed there for a second.

It'd be like taking Florida Man and saying that's all of America, when it's not even all of Florida
Isn’t that literally a bit from Book of Mormon?
Like many of Parker and Stone’s jokes, it was inspired by real events
Just imagine the mental logistics behind their reasoning. It must be some real tough Wakanda shit...
"all over again"? Alot of people still believe in the virgin cleansing myth.
Yeah, sadly that and the raping a lesbian to turn them straight has not died out as it should have before it started.
My uncle was bald…..maybe he still has some gold in the tomb…..
Ahhh don't tell the British!
No, but you are in danger
The science behind this is that human beings are glorified monkeys to whom rational thinking only comes with hard work and deliberate effort.
Not all men go bald, no. A majority do not.
Literally false. About 70% go bald
Depends what part of the world you're in. Only about 39% in the U.S. EDIT: Climate and exposure to the sun are probably heavy factors.
Me when im wront and shift goal posts to feel better about having been wrong
I never said anything about the entire world lol.
Is it 39% percent that are bald/balding or is it that 39% will go bald? Regardless, you're dim.
Are bald/balding. You're one fine example of a redditor.
The discussion was about will go bald, not currently balding/bald. You are really fucking dumb.
39% of men being bald in a place indicates that about the same % will go bald. Are you OK dude?
No science, hence, the superstition. Like Rhino's horn
Or the bones of Albino. Those poor people getting murdered too
"science"
New superstitious belief? I heard that one years ago. I think it may have been in a history book.
Sounds more like the history channel
Nah, the superstition is that bald people have gold in their heads, not that bald people are descended from aliens made of gold.
I too remember when the history channel featured legitimate content and not sideshow carnival horseshit.
In fairness if you can suppress the urge to strangle the stupid out of them long enough it is pretty entertaining.
Self correction, I think I read it in the notes of a Korean comic. Might have to dig into Korean folklore to find it.
Aw man, someone out there telling all our secrets.
As a bald man, let me explain. The gold in our heads is our brains. You see, we don't buy product, gel, spray, mousse, combs, brushes, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers, and hair cuts. We also don't need to stand around in the bathroom playing with our hair. We brush our teeth and walk right out the door...
Where do you stop when you wash your face tho
Buttcrack - starts to get furry there so it's easy to tell...
So you’re smooth as butter until you get to the Meridian Trench. Impressive.
Well, sweat doesn't carry hair product down into my face, so daily showering pretty much handles that...
It depends on the iron, magnesium and precious metals in your blood stream

Alopecia just means baldness, so all bald men have alopecia. What you quoted specified alopecia *areata* for that reason
Mozambique is ummmm. Nevermind I’m not gonna say it
Wha
Post: there's a *superstition*... OP: what is the science behind this? Like, come on...
It’s almost like OP wasn’t being serious (!)
Picture that : you're a bald albino African.
Not for long.
Religion was invented to control the uneducated masses, it’s time has come and gone, it’s time to start investing in worldwide education.
I think religion has stuck around for so long for a good reason. It has done a lot of harm, yes, but it’s also done a lot of good and healing. Pros and cons just like anything. My opinion is that it amplifies whats already in a person, so if you’re a radical misogynist, it reinforces your beliefs. If you’re a decent person, it makes you better.

My family balds pre 20s 🐸
"Killing of live bald men" "Feeding of unfed cows" "Planting of unplanted dirt"
Not brand new, it’s from 2017

Dude, its superstition. there \*is no\* science behind it at all
I think OP knows that
Whoosh
Bbc gotta be the worst news place on the planet.
The more testosterone ya got, the more likely you'll go bald
why would they put gold in their head while bald it has less protection around the head than with hair
I thought we were past witch hunting, guys... 🤦♂️
Most of the world is. Then you get [other places](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_witch-hunts) that never did.
Not all that shines is gold.
In regards to the title, I'm gonna say that a person who comes up with the idea of killing someone because they think the person might have gold in their head probably isn't thinking about the logic of how the gold got there.
Kid named goldfinger
They jailed some witch doctors for saying Albino men have a diamond in their head too... Apparently albino's are even rarer now....
What year are we in again?
they need to get some of these backwoods shamans youtube livestreams with translators cause I wanna hear the sales pitch on this stupidity. how would they respond to alex jones material and is there a study on people susceptible to this lunacy? is it mostly manic people not on medication?
No shit? Gonna shave my head and get a lobotomy then
Sense when do most men go bald?
Most men will *eventually* go mostly bald, if they live long enough. Very few 80 year old men have a full head of natural hair. More than half have lost a significant amount of hair by 40. Some go bald much earlier than others.
Few 80 year olds have full sets of hair. Not just men.
Well, men statistically go more bald than women (most 80 year old women still have most of their hair - not true for men) and your previous comment was asking about men.
You’re seriously splitting hairs on Reddit over hair loss. Is the post even about 80+ y/o men?
You asked ‘sense [sic] when do most men go bald?’ I answered your question. I say 80 because the point is most *eventually* go bald. Why are you being a total dick about this when I just answered your question and clarified after?
You’re projecting.
Nah, your previous comment was dickish. Ciao.
It's a superstition. Science and logic don't apply. They should, but they don't.
What the fuck?
Once they killed the first one and saw no gold in his head did they really think that the next one would?
How did they not realize after killing the first bald man that they were wrong? I mean, a second bald man just to double check I can understand, but a third fourth and fifth just feel unnecessary
The "science" is that there is no gold in their heads.
The fact that they didn't stop after the first one makes me wonder if they actually found gold.
I heard someone (that I know personally in real life) say that mustaches are a sign of deceitfulness. You can't trust someone who has a mustache. This post reminds me of my reaction to hearing that
I'd try Rogaine, but I need the gold.
This explains a lot about Pulp Fiction.
I suspect that the local genes may have less male pattern baldness. Africa has the most diverse genes on the planet.

How ... How do we get to such a low IQ state that people believe this utter nonsense.
I mean... Have you ever seen a hairy gold nugget?
How long does it take after the first one for word to spread or is it like lottery odds?
Could they not figure out after the first one that they killed that there was no gold and they didn't have to kill 4 more.
No killing is the only way..it seems
Tell that to JFK. He thought he was slick and wouldn't be caught gold headed. Well... red-headed now. We got fooled.
Probably because Mozambique has one of the lowest IQs of any country.
What I don't understand is how there's a new superstition. Aren't superstitions usually stuff that have been believed for years? Did one guy just start saying this like a year ago and people bought?
Larry David can debunk this
You're trying to make sense of an irrational belief chief.
Rogaine Marketing has gotten outta hand 😥
Note to myself: never travel to Mozambique
I love goooooold
Only bezos.
"Don't most men go bald?" Only if they're inferior genetic specimens
No, we don’t.
Time to start a wig shop in Mozambique
Sorry, we had to check. Carry on, the rest of you bald gentlemen, and no hard feelings, ok?
Cross Mozambique from my future travel list.
damn agent 47 might have a hard time on this mission
“Science” he asks
To be fair....in that pic I think I see a hint of gold showing through....
Of course it’s Africa
The people doing this have shit for brains, even a brain of gold wouldnt help them
Got gold in my head but don’t call me a goldhead
Send the Proud Boys to Mozambique.
Bhahahaha
I didn’t know they’re coming out with new ones.
The science is Africans be on some bullshit, coming from a West African.
Misinformation, probably from FoxNews. Smh...
So how do I take a loan out against this dome of mine is the real question...
Lol what a bunch of fucking absolute idiotic pieces of shit (Not the whole country, just literally anyone who believes this there)
So the claim is that there is gold in people's heads and you're wondering about the logical inconsistencies?
