Do you prefer cut or uncut? (lemm.ee)

I personally think uncut is better as it looks more natural, and is probably better for bees and other insects. The flowers and other weeds that grow make it look nicer as well.

I don't think cutting a lawn is that bad as long as its not done too often, though.

edit: grass. This is a post about grass.

Edit: Lawns, like the grass in your lawn, jesus christ.

Genuine question.

I'm an 80s kid and I'm cut. It's never bothered me, my parents thought they were doing the right thing at the time.

I had a son a few years ago. We didn't have him circumcised. We never seriously considered it, and the question never came up. If someone had have asked I would've been resistant.

So now the actual question: I had actually assumed that in 2025 the practice is more or less discontinued? Do doctors still do it? I thought they refused generally just because there's no medical reason for the practice.

As to my preference I just prefer mine the way it is, but I assume that would be the case even if I were not cut.

I'm not well educated on it, but I think circumcision is falling out of favor in the USA to some extent.
