it has something to do with breakfast cereal, the whole story is stupid
idk it's just something kinda fun to do i guess
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.

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”
I guess a Bris fits under “any excuse to party”.
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
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
Ketchup is made by combining tomatoes, sweetener (often sugar or high-fructose corn syrup), vinegar, salt, and spices. Tomato puree is made by blending tomatoes and adding water, sometimes salt and some spices. True, they are not the same, but dipping a fry in tomato puree wouldn't be that bad.
I didn't even know that was a thing! The foreskin thing or the tomato thing.
wait wait wait...you can restore your foreskin??
