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.

    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.

    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!

    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)

    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 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.

    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.

      Well there is a segment of length, where the length of uncut has more disadvantages than cut. But this is outweighed by the advantages, once a certain threshold is reached.

    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 :(
