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.

Thanks for making me imagine bees and other insects on uncut grass

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Cut smells better.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Purposefully misinterpreting itI personally prefer uncut, and I'm uncut myself, although I'm not going to hold grudge towards anyone who has it done, or goes into the realms of genital modifications.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Uncut for bees

My brain in pain.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

UNCUT

Uncut has more play. And has more flavor. Uncut feels better

Uncut all the way

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

.... 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] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty hard to eat without cutting.

Not really. lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

I do this with French loafs. Tear off a chunk.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks 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] 14 points 2 weeks 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] 6 points 2 weeks ago

They had to know what they were doing, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

I’ll take what I can get.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I mow regularly, but let it grow nice and high, and dont use a catcher to retain nutrients.

Also, uncircumcised, I like it and no one's complained.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 2 weeks ago

You knew what you were doing

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

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] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Spitting hard facts here.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

I'm currently in an apartment so I don't have one, but when I did I let it all hang out. Let the bush breathe!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I like my monarchs cut.

Wait, wrong thread.

This works for cigars too.

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

I find uncut cigars very hard to smoke.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I can appreciate cut, uncut, they're all really beautiful. I guess I probably prefer uncut, just so they hang around a little longer.

Edit: Sorry, thought this was about flowers, not grass.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, flowers are in lawns, and are a big benefit to leaving it uncut.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My dude, with a tital and description like that, you should've seen the innuendo coming from all the way in Proxima Centauri.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I know, thats the joke :)
