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 5 points 1 day ago

Scissors are the ideal utensil for correcting unseparated pizza slices.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 day ago

No thanks I don't smoke

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day 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 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This better not apply to lotr

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Uncut is known and loved, but I've heard an argument that the lore is tighter in certain edits. I don't remember the details though.

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 8 points 1 day ago

!nolawns@slrpnk.net approves.

[–] mydude@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

I usually like directors cut best myself.

[–] refreeze@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day 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 18 points 1 day ago

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

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ziggurat@jlai.lu 8 points 1 day 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 day ago

Sliced bread goes in the freezer

[–] dickJohnson@lemmynsfw.com 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Uncut. Infantile mutilation should be illegal.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] JSocial@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

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

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

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

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day 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 day ago

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

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

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 17 points 1 day 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 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I like my monarchs cut.

Wait, wrong thread.

[–] match@pawb.social 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

uncut. i wanna get my tongue in that foreskin

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] match@pawb.social 14 points 1 day 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 5 points 12 hours ago

skill issue.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day 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 12 points 12 hours 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

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.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 19 hours ago

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

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

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 13 hours ago

I’ll take what I can get.

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

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

Its hard to smoke uncut so I prefer cut.

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 6 points 20 hours 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)

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 6 points 19 hours ago

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

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours 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
