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

[–] salvaria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 70 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 :(

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Scissors are the ideal utensil for correcting unseparated pizza slices.

You knew what you were doing

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't stand my facial hair so I definitely cut it. Penises I prefer uncut tho

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 1 week ago

No thanks I don't smoke

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ooohhh. Yeah, I grind that, or just break it up with my fingers if it's fluffy.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

You're supposed to smoke the grass, not cut it.

[–] mydude@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

I usually like directors cut best myself.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This better not apply to lotr

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?"

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

!nolawns@slrpnk.net approves.

[–] refreeze@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 21 points 1 week ago

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

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I prefer my bread pre-cut. my hair cut low, and my trees un-cut.

[–] Ziggurat@jlai.lu 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bread in whole loaf so it lasts more than 24h, large hand-cut slice feel better, and a minor inconveinience anyhow.

Do not over cut grass, it's time consuming, feels artificial, and is bad for insects

[–] Mammothmothman@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Sliced bread goes in the freezer

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] dickJohnson@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Uncut. Infantile mutilation should be illegal.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's usually better to read the post before writing a comment

[–] JSocial@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 week ago

Based on the username, I think it was heading this way regardless.

[–] dickJohnson@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So the lawn isn't a euphemism for a penis? /S

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think you're confusing lawn with carpet, and penis with vagina.

That happens to everyone though so no judgement. This one time I was sucking this dick for a good 10 minutes before realizing it's not pussy

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

I hate when that happens and im too embarrassed to mention anything so I just politely finish up and go on my way.

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.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I like my monarchs cut.

Wait, wrong thread.

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

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Comment section is the real MVP

[–] match@pawb.social 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

uncut. i wanna get my tongue in that foreskin

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] match@pawb.social 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

skill issue.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week 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

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

They had to know what they were doing, right?

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 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

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!

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

Uncut, for sure. I like a good thick slice of saucisson and when it comes precut its always too thin.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

.... I thought you were talking about circumcision.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week 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.

Its hard to smoke uncut so I prefer cut.

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week 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!

[–] Glory_of_Fire@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I’ll take what I can get.

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

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week 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.

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)
