So…why is the idea of drinking human breast milk weird and fill most people with disgust? But drinking milk that comes from a cow’s breast, a wholly different species- it is so normal that no one even blinks an eye?
I find it strange that what is strange is thought of as totally normal by society, and what is normal thought to be totally gross and taboo by everyone. Here’s a buzzfeed video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6HIoXoCcOs
What other things do you find strange that society accepts as normal? And vice versa?
‘Tis a strange world we live in.

Gerbils are weird.
The fact that team sports are big business, that top players command multi-million dollar salaries, that people spend small fortunes investing in tickets and team paraphernalia, and that there are sports channels and commentators, all of which generate millions of dollars (that could be used for more philanthropic or environmentally friendly endeavors): all of it is fucking weird.
. . . and while this is occurring, school teachers are struggling to make ends meet, often paying for classroom materials out of pocket in the pursuit of educating human minds and helping to mold character.” But goddamn, Mort, did ya’ see that touchdown? 95 yards that guy ran. . . ”
Important.
And sports bars.
If you go into a sports bar (or any bar, I suppose), the jerk that’s voicing opinions the loudest is usually the one with the least to say.
It’s also incredibly bizarre that we’ll spend a fortune to wear someone else’s name on our shirt/pants/handbag, etc. Ridiculous. Here this: they should pay US for wearing their name. It’s advertising for them. Like they pay, lemme think, oh yeah: sports figures to wear their gear.
We’re sheeple, all right.
Lol. True.
Also circumcision. There’s no actual reason why a piece of skin needs to be lopped off on a normal healthy baby. It’s like lopping off say, a piece of earlobe. But no one objects or thinks it’s weird to lop off a chunk of skin from every baby boy.
It IS, however, big business for hospitals and doctors and the all-mighty insurance industry.
And on that note, a joke for the ladies: What do you call the useless piece of skin at the end of a penis? A man.
i think its weird. That’s why my son is uncircumcised
barefoot is bizarre but high heels are normal and sexy
