What is it with yanks and cutting up babies dicks?

[-] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

Religious cult nonsense is the typical reason.

[-] philycheeze@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago

And then it got so popular they decided it would be weird to stop 🙄

It’s cool to be stupid and promote anti intellectualism in the US

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 month ago

Look up "John Harvey Kellogg circumcision". A lot of the US obsession with cutting up baby penisses is because of him and his obsession with preventing boys from masturbating.

Wasn't that why he invented corn flakes too?

And unfortunately, many Americans don’t ever think or question anything. It just remained this way.

That dude was a freak

On Wikipedia, his supposed instigation and popularization of circumcision is listed as a common misconception. It still looks like he supported the practice at some point though

The Kellogg in Fallout 4 is his descendant

And you have to pay to have it removed!

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

At this point it's mostly just to match the dad.

[-] Darukhnarn@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

I think it used to be about preventing masturbation?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Lol you'd think they would have figured out pretty quick that it didn't work

[-] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

more carry overs from judaism; so much of the bible carries over

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago
