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.

    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

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 :(
