I strongly disagree. He can be circumcised, again and again and again! A ocean safe alternative to calamari!

Hold up! We could end world hunger! Just like wood supplies, with a permanently lying pinocchio...

Vegan calamari! Wolverine can consent.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't know about Vegan....

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 22 points 5 days ago (8 children)

Yeah. It's a real criteria to vegan food, it has to be given with consent. It's an intentional thing to exclude animals and animal-derived products, like milk or honey.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There's an interesting argument that honey can be vegan, by that criteria.

A bee colony is not generally trapped in a hive. They are capable of leaving, if it's not to their standards, or they find somewhere between. The catch is that artificial bee hives are amazing for bees, compared to natural locations. The only catch is the "rent" taken by the eldritch creatures. They never take too much however, only taking excess the hive doesn't need.

Basically bees could be argued to be paying rent, in honey, for high quality accommodation.

I get the ethics of that concept. however... it is a tool we can use?

Horror level sci fi thought experiment that has no material relevance, only an abstract though experiment.

let's say I use artificial selection to breed intelligent animals that will consent (yhea, far fetched, but it's a thought experiment so let's accept that premise). you might point that consent ends when the breeding program began, but all I had to do is take away candidates that aren't good from the breeding pool and let them breed freely. That as consentual as wildlife breeding gets.

would eating the meat of those animals be vegan?

fuck there's a Rick and Morty episode about that.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

Horror level sci fi

Or comedy-level sci-fi.

https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Ameglian_Major_Cow

The creature offers Zaphod and his party his shoulder, braised in a white wine sauce, then goes on to offer other parts of its body, having worked hard to fatten itself up through force-feeding itself for months. Eventually, after Arthur and Trillian have expressed their shock and Ford has expressed his disinterest, Zaphod requests four rare steaks and the Dish of the Day goes off to shoot himself, telling Arthur not to worry, as he says "I'll be very humane."

... [...]and yet the willingly offered menstrual black pudding and psoriasis crackling again remained untouched at the vegan dinner party.

Edit: Just realised black pudding might be a bit too regional. Black pudding (wiki link) is a "sliced blood sausage"

[–] myster0n@feddit.nl 8 points 5 days ago

Yeah, well, part II of something being vegan is that it has to be accepted with consent as well.

On the contrary, wolverine can be circumcised infinitely

Mutants typically gain their powers at puberty. If he was circumcized as a baby would it regrow when he gets his powers? Or just heal stuff from that point forward? Or was wolverine unique in that he always had his healing powers?

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago (8 children)

He was born in a British colony long before circumcision would have been anything other than a religious rite.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago

Questions wasnt about his history. It was a hypothetical.

Wolverine has a belly button but he has not regrown his umbilical cord

Male circumcision is genital mutilation

Your religion is dumb

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Not condoning it, but often times it's not for religious reasons. Religion is dumb though.

You absolutely can circumcise Wolverine he just won't stay that way for very long, if anything he's the most circumcisable guy ever because you can do it over and over again

Logan's foreskin is the new Schrödinger's cat.

he's both the most circumciseable and least circumciseable person

[–] Son_of_Macha@lemmy.cafe 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He's Canadian why would he be?

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's not uncommon in Canada. But not necessarily for religious reasons.

Technically untrue, it just doesn't last. Similarly, he can have his ears pierced, but the jewelry will quickly be expelled or subsumed. 🥲

Reminds me of True Blood where one of the characters loses her virginity after becoming a vampire. So every time she wanted to have sex, she would have to painfully break her hymen all over again because it kept regrowing.

EDIT: It was Deborah Ann Woll's character "Jessica Hamby", so not a minor character.

[–] AudaciousArmadillo@piefed.blahaj.zone 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I know you are talking about a TV show, but most of what we were told about the hymen is a myth https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220419-how-the-hymen-myth-destroys-lives

TL;DR: "virginity" and the state of the hymen are not really related. Bleeding or pain during intercourse is also not usually due to the hymen, but lack of lubrication or forcefulness of the penetration.

Few of us would have been told that it can change with age, that some of us aren't born with one, or that it might totally disappear by the time we enter sexual maturity anyway. Or that a wide variety of activity can stretch or tear it, from exercise to masturbation to, yes, penetrative sex.

Emphasis mine, this is what I was taught in school

But this doesn't mean there's any validity to the idea that you can ascertain sexual activity with a hymen examination. One small study of 36 pregnant teenagers published in 2004, for example, found that medical staff were only able to make "definitive findings of penetration" in two cases. Another 2004 study found that 52% of sexually active adolescent girls interviewed had "no identifiable changes to the hymenal tissue". A binary idea that either we are sexually active and have no visible hymen, or that we aren't sexually active and do have one, is simply not accurate.

So TIL, it's not actually a membrane and is not guaranteed to tear at some point. Really interesting read, and definitely an example of how women's health research is just riddled with misinformation

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 9 points 5 days ago

Thx, but I didn't want to know that..

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 7 points 5 days ago

If anything he can be circumcised repeatedly, surely?

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Why aren't his earlobes and nose really long, given he's over 200 years old, and a lot of old people have extra growth in their nose and ear cartilage? I'm sorry, but until this is addressed in comics, I just can't believe Wolverine is real.

[–] Mister_Feeny@fedia.io 7 points 5 days ago

Because his healing factor gives him the body of someone in like their mid-30's, not the body of a really old person that would have extra growth in their nose and ear cartilage?

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 days ago

Easy, with his lifestyle his ears and nose are definitely younger than 200 years; he's lost and had to regrow them several times both on paper and on screen.

The man multiplied bread and fish, why not his own foreskin?

I could have gone at least three more days into the new year without having known about this.
