Sure, I guess, in the same way that all the water in your body was once dinosaur piss

Spot the Americans, in Europe we are not burning metric tons of foreskin, we leave them attached.

then its even more likely as skin cells are sloughed off 24/7 and where do they go? everywhere.

...and then incinerate them at the other end of life.

Wait until OP learns about Blowjobs

Don't let them breathe when they're giving them, problem solved.

The really fun bit: in order to smell anything, you necessarily have to snort in molecules of that substance. It's a happy little thought whenever passing a sewage treatment plant.

Male genital mutilation isn't really a thing where I'm from so I'd say probably not.

Circumcision is barbaric and done out of ignorance and inertia.

"But I'll feel weird if my sons dick doesnt look like mine" most deranged reason to cut the end of a child's dick off

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago

I want to do it so he has a weird dick.

Why stop at breathing it in when you can rub it on your face. Foreskin skin cream is a real thing. Where else do you think all these baby foreskins go?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

And now it all makes sense.

The elementary school I went to was next door to a crematorium. I have breathed in multitudes.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 2 days ago

Reminds me of Cassidy's foreskin musings in Preacher.

Is that why the back lot of the hospital smells so enticing?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
