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.

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 2 months ago

Scissors are the ideal utensil for correcting unseparated pizza slices.

You knew what you were doing

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

No thanks I don't smoke

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago

!nolawns@slrpnk.net approves.

[–] mydude@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

I usually like directors cut best myself.

[–] refreeze@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months 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 20 points 2 months ago

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

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ziggurat@jlai.lu 10 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Sliced bread goes in the freezer

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 months 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 2 months 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.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months 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.

[–] deeferg@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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 2 months ago

Comment section is the real MVP

[–] match@pawb.social 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

uncut. i wanna get my tongue in that foreskin

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] match@pawb.social 18 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

skill issue.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago

They had to know what they were doing, right?

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months 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!

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

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months 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.

UNCUT

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

Uncut all the way

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

Its hard to smoke uncut so I prefer cut.

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

I’ll take what I can get.

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

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

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

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months 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)

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 6 points 2 months 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.

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.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I thought this was about dicks.

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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