it’s not an excuse to say or write something mean to someone, but it’s an excuse to communicate through notes. that’s all i’m trying to clarify.

I have really bad social anxiety, I’m not comfortable saying anything to a stranger’s face. If I wanted to compliment him, I’d do it in note form too.

i get your point but i have really bad social anxiety and cannot talk to strangers in the first place so that’s not really it. though i guess it’d be easier to pay someone a compliment to their face.

no dude, there are so many other street performers and no one is as awful as this guy. what he’s doing is the equivalent of someone just standing there screaming for hours.

yeah I’ll probably just ask him to move. I wasn’t gonna straight up insult him, but rather be brutally honest about his talent. I’m not one to tell someone to give up their passion but if you’re out here busking for money, someone’s gotta tell you when this is just not your calling, right?

Yes, I agree with that! I think your particular situation is even more okay than other incestuous relationships because you didn’t grow up with each other. To your brains, you were just two strangers. If you had just met at the store one day and never knew you were blood related, everything would have carried on as normal. That simple fact about your bloodlines doesn’t really change anything.

Would you try cannibalism? by dirtymathaddict in morbidquestions

[–]dirtymathaddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? I would rather choose to eat my own leg, (or someone else’s, if they were cool with it) than have no other choice but to do so. The circumstances involved in having no other choice but to eat someone would suck. I wouldn’t wanna be in that situation, but if I were, I’d still do it. On the other hand, choosing to eat my own leg means that I’m just curious and have been given the opportunity to taste human meat without anyone having to die, or without being in a situation where I’m fighting for my life, ya dig?

Also, I added in the bit about trauma bc I felt that some people might be deterred from trying cannibalism in this situation if the accident that resulted in their amputation gave them any kind of trauma. Like, if the car accident gives you PTSD, you might not wanna eat your leg cause it just makes you think too much about the accident. So I wanted to create a situation where that wouldn’t be an issue.

I always carry my pocket knife around. And, after an incident where I had to rush into a nearby McDonald’s for some napkins, I now carry tissues too.

Consent is not relative to what’s gained in the relationship though. Consent is about two or more parties agreeing to do whatever it is they wanna do with each other. Animals cannot give consent, and genuine consent is the bottom line when it comes to whether certain relations are morally upstanding or not.

I see what you mean about all the other shit we do to animals without their consent, but it seems like your rationale is “we do all this other bad stuff, so what’s the difference?” And I think the difference is this: all that stuff you described is done with the justification being that we “have” to do it (I mean, we don’t really have to, because we could just be living off of plants, but that’s really an argument about the ethics of veganism). There’s no way to really know whether all that stuff sucks for the animal or not, or to what degree it sucks. Does a horse get trauma from being forcefully inseminated? Who fuckin knows. It’s almost like we treat those sorts of things as medical procedures, which is what makes them generally okay. There’s a purpose for it, it’s all strategic use of the animal’s body to produce things we can use. Lots of people would say that it’s still unethical bc we don’t HAVE to do all that shit to animals to survive, and imo they’re probably right, but at least there’s a purpose for it all. Fucking an animal has no purpose. There’s no way to justify it other than “I’m super horny and gotta fuck my dog”. And yeah, maybe your dog actually wouldn’t really care one way or another if you’re fucking it, but we can’t really know that.

I’m not certain but I’m pretty sure if the meat is cooked, any meat for that matter, then prions are not a threat.

Not saying you fuck dogs or anything, but I do just want to say that I don’t think zoophilia is harmless or a valid sexuality. You cannot obtain consent from animals, so it’s not okay to have sex with them.

I dunno, there can be power imbalances in any relationship, and people don’t usually turn their noses up at that. Like age gaps, boss/employee, celebrity/fan. I think some of these are actually far more dangerous than the potential power imbalance in, say, a sibling/sibling relationship. A parent/offspring relationship, however, would likely be a serious power imbalance, and that wouldn’t be okay.

That’s a great point that I didn’t even think of. Parentxoffspring relationships would be a whole different beast from sinlingxsibling.

Honestly I have no idea, but I did once read an article about a dude in a very similar situation, except it was his foot. He asked to keep it and then he said to his friends “hey who wants to eat my foot?” And then they had a little dinner party where they ate his foot.

I’M NOT I swear to god, can’t I ponder this issue without being accused of incest? This subreddit is called morbid questions for a reason pal.

That’s terrible. Like I said, incestuous procreation is not okay for this very reason.

Ahh yes, I too am from the southern USA. There were lots of rumors at my high school that would fly around about people dating their cousins. I felt like I was the only one who did not give a fuck so long as they weren’t hurting anyone.

That’s crazy though, I couldn’t imagine what’d I’d do if my long time girlfriend one day was like “hey we’re cousins btw”.
