I will never understand your bizarre culture of ritual genital mutilation, but this is great!
If you do it to a girl it’s straight to prison, but for some reason when it’s a boy they call it tradition
it has something to do with breakfast cereal, the whole story is stupid
Because yahweh likes the smell of rotting foreskins, per his own words.
This means that Abraham made a tall pile in his house of the foreskins from the many people that he had circumcised. He piled them, one on top of the other, in his house and a stream of blood flowed from these foreskins. The Holy One said to the angels: let us go to Abraham’s house to visit the sick. The angels said: Lord of the Universe, it stinks and it is quite repulsive in Abraham’s house, because of the foreskins. God said: in my eyes the smell of the foreskins is much better than the pleasant odors of all the incense, as the verse says, “I will betake me to the mount of myrrh”
It happened because an old man during the Bronze Age had a schizophrenic episode and hallucinated god commanding him to cut off his foreskin as proof of loyalty. Everyone just… Went on to humor him I guess and here we are thousands of years later and not much has changed. This is just proof of how traditions can be really stupid.
Not-so-fun fact, ritual circumcision was practiced by many groups in the ancient world. The oldest written account of Egyptian circumcision is from the 23rd century BCE (which predates its use in Abrhamic religions by well over 1000 years).
Why? When did some guy say “Hey! I got an idea!” And everyone else said “Sounds great! Me next!”
I mean, I get the women going along with it, just to see how stupid men could really get, but how did men, who totally ruled the world back then, decide to go along with this?
Like quite a few early religious rules I will never be convinced that it wasn’t just a bunch of dumbass men couldn’t be arsed to keep their junk clean and got infections thus new ritual was born to eliminate the problem.
🤷♂️
idk it’s just something kinda fun to do i guess
What else will they put into skincare products
I guess a Bris fits under “any excuse to party”.
Jesus Christ this thing… it scares me
You’re welcome 😉
Moisturize….me
This is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen on Lemmy. Like, oldskool I need eyebleach disturbing. Gawd. Why.
I think I’m gonna start working now. You’ve disgusted me that much. I’m gonna stop screwing around and go work. Bleh.
Look what we’ve done! We’re monsters…
I hope it returns to my body like when the T1000 got to the piece of him that broke off on the car
It will, brother. I believe.
Ha! Dodged that shit like neo in the matrix! Also the US is reporting about 50% of males born here aren’t getting mutilated.
Personally, I’m glad they took a little extra off. I’m swimming in dick over here and anything more would’ve just been too much.
Where’s Santa’s maggoty… When you need them?
I’m restoring my foreskin right now and so thinking about this reminds me of people who take the tomato off a hamburger and then add ketchup…
Tomato and Ketchup are not equivalent. Ketchup tastes nothing like a tomato. Nobody would stick a French fry in a cup of tomato puree.
… Has anyone stuck a french fry in marinara to test this? Because that’s not the most awful combo I can think of.
Not marinara, just pureed tomato. OP said it was dumb to remove a tomato, yet use ketchup, so the comparison is raw tomato vs. ketchup. Tomato puree is the same as raw tomato, marinara is not.
Marinara on a burger, especially one seasoned like a meatball, is delicious. Add a slice of mozzarella, and you have a Cheeseburger Marinara. Just a different configuration of a Meatball Sub (one of my favorites). Now I know what we’re having for dinner, with fries. Thanks for the inspiration.
While also claiming to be allergic to msg. While also chugging bloody Marys at the cheesecake factory.
Rough date, huh?
If by rough, you mean not at all, than ya
I didn’t even know that was a thing! The foreskin thing or the tomato thing.
wait wait wait…you can restore your foreskin??
Yup! And I highly recommend it. Just from the small gains I’ve made and the difference it makes, I’ve become pretty much completely anti-circumcision. Definitely completely for babies.
Arent irreplaceable glands removed during a circumcision? Might be able to lengthen skin to form something like foreskin but isn’t it impossible to regrow the glans?
Glans is the tip/head/non-skin end of your penis and it should not have been touched during circumcision. Maybe by mistake something happened.
But there are body tissue structures that are removed and lost forever from circumcision. Namely the “rigid band” and part or all of the “frenulum”
So a restored foreskin is not quite the same. But people who get circumcised as an adult and then later restore say that restored is about 70-80% as good. And far better than nothing!
I took the time to Google it. I was thinking of sebaceous glands which just produce skin oil. Probably more there than other places given its function but yeah I get ya.
My cut job is fine btw. No errors. Would prefer that the choice was mine. And if it were I wouldn’t have it done. So when my son was born, we didn’t do it to him.
Sorry, I read “glans” instead of “glands” - my understanding is that the foreskin is made up of inner and outter skin (the inner skin is actually mucosa, a wet tissue like the inside of your cheek). Outter skin from the start of your shaft to your circumcision scar line, then inner skin (mucosa), then your glans.
Mitosis (skin growth via tension) works on inner and outter skin, so you should end up with a normal amount of sebaceous glands from restoring. Mitosis results in new nerves, blood vessels, and I would assume new sebaceous glands (but I haven’t checked for sure).
Make a couch out if him
Do all Incels go to Heaven?
They’re the first ones there. And they’ll receive 72 virgins.
I’d rather be warm than seeing those idiots rewarded for hate everyday.
Plot twist: The 72 are all other incels like them.
Still not quite sure if I want to witness it.
