When it comes to growing beards, some men take it to a whole ‘nother level of crazy, and it’s hard for the hipster set to let the damn things go.

But with this new meme that the internet has concocted, it might make it even harder for them to part with the facial hair.

Or maybe scare them into shaving it off, if we’re lucky.

Social media was set ablaze after someone posted photos of men with beards looking up, reports Mashable, and it’s both hilarious and horrifying:

Observe the hairy monstrosities thanks to Twitter user @ehdannyboy:

It’s like looking at Slenderman’s hipster cousins:

The last one scares me the most, I gotta admit.

Like, it really looks they’ve got no faces or ears – Lord, help us all.

But peeps out there in the Twitterverse have decided to remedy these faceless, furry abominations by giving them faces:

Eww, scary.

“Fabulous idea”, my bottom.

So, folks, what do you think? Are these totally cool or terrifying?

Either way, the Cape Town hipsters are probably going to have fun with this meme.
