What’s the weirdest thing society accepts as normal?

Cheese on a stick

That men have power.

And the Fucking royals

Dancing is strange , babies do it instinctively and adults seem to enjoy it. Maybe it’s just a release? Something in our DNA from cave man times? A chance to show off a bit ?

I think it’s much more ludicrous that society seems to moving towards kids not playing out! Kids should be playing out. It’s good for them to build confidence and learn essential life skills like problem solving and risk taking; children will always defer to an adult if an adult is around. We’ve gone safety mad (but only with very specific things) as a society and children’s development is one of the casualties.

Hard disagree
" playing out" is/was neglect
In the past it's seen as a lovely thing but it really wasn't.
Young children were kicked out for the day and abuse/ bullying was rife.
Not to mention accidents

They learn life skills playing in their own garden, with friends etc they don't need to be out on the street all the time

An then the majority of decisions that are made about women are from narcissistic men!

What a ridiculous comment! Schools constantly teach teamwork and how to get on with people. Some exams even require it (e.g. drama).Team work is part of many competitive sports, and team work is promoted by the pair work and group work that goes on in classrooms and extra-curricular activities every single day. My school had its annual music festival today. It is a highly competitive inter-house event. It also demonstrated amazing cooperation, teamwork and support between students of all different ages and needs.

Trump being elected and confirmed 47th PoTUS.

For me, Australia having drive through bottle shops (off licenses). Not really a surprise people drive, buy, then drink and drive.

But from the time it's concieved, it's a developing human. Embryo, foetus, baby child, adult - all developmental stages of a human.

I don’t think the poster meant we should be tied to kitchen sink again but rather it’s gone to the other extreme now where we are still raising the next generation AND now expected to work as well. There’s need to be an element of choice, that’s what was fought for not exploitation in just another extreme.

Staring at a device all the time, even while walking.

I think not just that. I read Persuasion by Jane Austen and any book from that period. Women at described as weak, the fairer sex and will get a shock/chill and faint and pass away. Yet were also going through menstruation, childbirth with minimal pain killers help. How were we ever considered weak and feeble??

Thing is, that if you don't learn anything about the Bible, the world of art is closed to you. Thinking of the National Gallery etc many of the works of art depict Biblical accounts.

But team sports teach exactly that.

lazy & entitled people who choose not to work & live off benefits or work 16 hours a week & claim top up benefits.

That it's possible to change your biological sex

The practice of abortions has been known since ancient times. The difference between now and then is that prior to safe, legal abortions, women died or became infertile following illegal abortions.

@ForFunAquaTurtle Just a couple I'm thinking of...

Lying out in the sun on sunny days. It is not possible to sleep with the sun in your face, and lying in the sun literally serves no purpose.

Using a phone for all day to day digital tasks, when a standard desktop computer is much faster and more proficient for completing those same tasks.

Seeing housing as an investment, rather than a functional place to live.

Idling an engine outside a shop. Why? This has a negative impact on the car, and also harms people's health, so it's not clear why people do this.

Driving a car that is much bigger than it needs to be. Again, why?

Using facebook as a way to communicate with dead people like it’s a direct line to heaven.

Chicks with dicks.
No.

That the animals you deem acceptable to eat is based on where you’re born/the culture you’re born into. We’d never eat dogs (more social than religious though), Hindus don’t eat cows, Muslims won’t touch pork. Who decided which animals are pets and which are fine to kill and eat?

Capitalism in general. I find it so bizarre that a lot of people do completely pointless jobs for an annual salary. I’ve seen a lot of hours wasted in offices.

Raising children without a wider network of supportive adults and older children. Insanely hard and far removed from what’s natural for humans, but completely accepted as normal here and a lot of the world over.
