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.

My dream:

In every city and town, local horticulture and landscaping shops would have hearty grass alternatives, a combination of plants selected from the local biome, that could withstand moderate foot traffic and don't require replanting every year.

I've never actually seen any horticulture shops offer such a seed package, granted I haven't really been looking since I don't have a house.

I thought this was about dicks.

.... I thought you were talking about circumcision.

Unless you're a medival peasant, I think its very likely you would cut your bread anyway. Pretty hard to eat without cutting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You don't just casually naw on a whole loaf?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Only when I'm desperate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

I prefer meadow (or your biome's equivalent) lawns. Well actually I want a food forest, but natural lawns rock too

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Uncut. Fuck lawns. Back in 2020 or so I jokingly asked my housemate if he wanted a yard or an orchard when he was bringing in more fruit bushes, and we realized it was a serious question and the answer was resoundingly "orchard".

And for the bait, still uncut. I've got the cock nature intended for me and I like it that way. Every once in a while I'll get smacked or scraped in a way that makes the circumcised guys wince, but it doesn't hurt me at all. Imagine wanting your most sensitive spot exposed to suffer for every scrape, lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Cut, otherwise you do a line and you wake up in A&E.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

The Columbians get upset when you cut their shit; pride over that 'pure un-cut' label...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

Definitely uncut. All the extra shit they can add to it just dilutes the high.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Uncut in general. But it can go a bit insane, with a few giant weeds that start turning into bracken. What works for us (but ymmv obvs) is having some dwarf goats or sheep. We move them around the property and they nibble the grass and weeds but don't make it a miserable mowed lawn. It looks like a lovely meadow. And they're surprisingly affectionate and relatively low maintence.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck lawns, I'll rather use the space I have to grow something like veggies or flowers, and leave some spots for nature. Also... maybe think a little more about wording the next time you post something like this. :P

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

They had to know what they were doing, right?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 23 hours ago

You knew what you were doing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

I’ll take what I can get.

oh you meant lawns…cut of course I’m not a savage

[–] [email protected] 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I don't like lawns in general. Grow something useful; food for you or rewild for pollinators and biodiversity.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 22 hours ago

I prefer cut, I like how the gemstone sparkles and shimmers in the light, even if it is less massive afterwards.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Cut or uncut, it's still grass and all grass is beautiful. Did you know that grass belongs to the family Poaceae, and it only appeared during the Cretaceous period? If you ever see a depiction of the Jurassic period and there's grass, it's inaccurate!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Wait what?? Like there wasn't ANY grasses at all? Not even grass-like plants?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Spitting hard facts here.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I like my monarchs cut.

Wait, wrong thread.

This works for cigars too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

I find uncut cigars very hard to smoke.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago

Definitely cut. Paper is so hard to write on if it's not thin!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

uncut. i wanna get my tongue in that foreskin

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sir, this is a ~~wendy's~~ post about lawns.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

oh i know! i just meant that if your dad is busy mowing the lawn, then i can't get busy sucking his dick

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago

skill issue.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Comment section is the real MVP

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Uncut. Those pre-sliced sheets are handy, but they're either too big or too small for the present you're wrapping, and you end up wasting more.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I prefer uncut. Sometimes, when it's cut, you can tell that it's been done poorly and it looks really weird. Sometimes it's so bad, I need to get a knife and fix it before the main event! Other times, it's too large and I need to cut it down to the right size before I shove it in my mouth.

I hate when they fuck up my pizza slices :(

Well, my mind is in the gutter I guess. Yards, I like a balance. Wild in defined spaces; food garden without weeds; open yard is literally mowed weeds, not too short. Flower garden has some weeds. We get lots of bees and butterflies with this scheme.

(On the question I thought you were asking, slight preference for uncut)

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I can't stand my facial hair so I definitely cut it. Penises I prefer uncut tho

I like it uncut. I think it's better for the birds, plants and insects, and it feels better under my feet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

Also looks better. Bare lawns are just ugly, weeds and flowers and different grass species are the real shit.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'd say I usually prefer cut. Otherwise its length becomes completely unmanageable. I don't have all night to watch only a single film, y'know?

Cut, personally. Usually the guitar string ends get in the way when you don't cut them, so definitely cut to me.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if you uproot all your grass and replace it with clover so you don't have to cut every 3 weeks or so, does that still count as "cut?"

I usually like directors cut best myself.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I find my uncut wood a little too big to fit in the fireplace, so I think I will say cut.

I prefer my bread pre-cut. my hair cut low, and my trees un-cut.
