What’s the weirdest thing society accepts as normal?

Cheese on a stick

Not just the cost but the fact that there’s such a long delay between the death and the funeral.

I secretly go round thinking that every woman who changes her name after marriage is a complete handmaiden. I've just got no respect for it.

This is actually relatively new. Historically, people worked 14-16 hours a day, 6 days a week.

I think the only vile women are those who would condemn their sex to be being mere incubators. They’re pig bloody thick too.

This is by far the best response yet

That women pay other women to glue bits of coloured plastic to their finger nails and rip out their body hair.

That a huge number of us waste hours of our one precious life, repeatedly moving our finger across an 8 inch screen, reading the opinions of strangers/ arguing with strangers and watching videos of strangers (and cats) doing strange things.

Yes, and how come there are a few beaches in the UK that are privately owned?

How can you own a beach?

So beautifully put.😂

Yes! Humans are the only species who pay to live on the Earth. And the only species who work. And we’re supposed to be the most intelligent… 🤔

You've believed a lie, I hate to break it to you.

You can only own a beach above the high water mark and the access to it. All beaches below that are Crown Estate, which is a type of public land.

Eating dead animals

Seems weirder not to when we evolved to do so.

State funded religious education schools. I find it bizarre that these are in some cases partly or wholly funded by taxes. Particularly now that private education is vilified. Religion has no place in schools and should be an informed choice.

That drag artists are an acceptable form of entertainment when they are often grotesque and offensive depictions of women.

That seems to be very country/culture dependant too.

In the U.K., we are used to it being weeks between death and a funeral.

My DH is American, and when his stepfather died suddenly in hospital, the funeral was only 4 days later!
I couldn’t believe how fast the turnaround was on that, but apparently it’s the norm here in the US for funerals to happen very soon after death

I would disagree with the first one. I don’t think that ignorance of different religions is good thing. We learnt 6 at school and it was really a very small part of the curriculum.

It always makes me laugh when you get people in here complaining about foxes or other animal pooing in their garden, as if they expect animals to understand property laws.

Technically, it’s not even ‘their’ garden as nobody had the right to sell the earth in the first place!

Wasting your life away by partying in your twenties, harming your body with damaging substances and having multiple situationships that amount to nothing until suddenly one day you look in the mirror and you're 40, single, alone in a house full of cats or dogs and oh, nearing infertile. And then you wonder how you got there, well society made it seem like you were doing the right thing by just “enjoying your life”, a dream concocted by societal pressure and constructs that was sold and sadly consumed by a lot of people.

And listening to the records sent into space! Am i imagining this?

Eggs too.

Eggs are a bit gross when you think about what they are. Every now and then I stop and think 'ugh, I'm eating an egg'. Then I forget about it until the next time I eat one.

I agree that ignorance isn't a good thing. Learning ABOUT different religions is fine but a school based ON a religion and including religious practices such as prayer should definitely not be state funded.

Men groping/leering at women in pubs/clubs

You cant have an embryo without fertilisation.

Me too 😭

Your right, unfertilised eggs
