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.

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.

UNCUT

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

Uncut all the way

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I thought this was about dicks.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

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

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day 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.

[-] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Secret300@sh.itjust.works 50 points 2 days ago

You knew what you were doing

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

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

[-] leraje 5 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago
[-] xorollo@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago

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

[-] hungryphrog 12 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They had to know what they were doing, right?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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

[-] salvaria 63 points 2 days ago

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 :(

I’ll take what I can get.

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

[-] Acamon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day 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.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

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?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

This better not apply to lotr

I like my monarchs cut.

Wait, wrong thread.

[-] Battle_Masker@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 10 points 2 days ago

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

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

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days 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.

[-] refreeze@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

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

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 20 points 2 days ago

You wish. Your fireplace can barely tell your uncut wood is in there.

[-] match@pawb.social 16 points 2 days ago

uncut. i wanna get my tongue in that foreskin

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 14 points 2 days ago

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

[-] match@pawb.social 17 points 2 days ago

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

[-] hungryphrog 5 points 2 days ago

skill issue.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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!

[-] hungryphrog 3 points 2 days ago

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

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

[-] SnotFlickerman 21 points 2 days ago

I'm bald anyway so it doesn't really matter, cut or uncut, it's all the same.

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

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days 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)

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago

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

Pretty sure straight up grass is not all that great for most critters regardless. I know some folks mention that all clover is actually decent since it doesn’t grow all that high and is still good for insect life.
