  • The old carpet in my last house had underlay foam covered in a thin layer of plastic. I didn’t realise my cat had managed to lift the corner behind the TV and eaten a strip of the plastic. He pooped out that strip with several chunks of turd wrapped around it like anal beads, started playing with it and left it in his favourite place, behind the TV. Didn’t find it for about a day, but I smelt it.




  • OP is probably Indian or at least from a Hindi speaking household.

    As another commenter here pointed out the show in the bottom left is M.A.D. (music, art, and dance). It was produced in India and originally in Hindi, starting in 2005. I can’t find any information about international syndication for that show but it would have been weird for it to be on TV in the US at that time.

    The Richie Rich cartoon in the top right first aired in the US from 1982-84 according to IMDB. I can’t be certain if there were repeats (or “reruns”) of it shown in the US but if there were its unlikely to have been a big part of kids’ childhoods in the mid '00s. One thing I did find was a bunch of Hindi dubs of the show when I searched “Richie Rich India” so its more likely a Hindi language channel would have been broadcasting those dubs around the time that M.A.D. was on the air.

    Rahul is also a popular name in India and the username Rahuliy is probably some variation of that.

    Don’t get me wrong I understand the frustration around the US centric nature of a lot of platforms and some of the communities here on Lemmy but that probably isn’t the case here.










  • British penis owner here. Cirumcision is rare in this country and as far as I know the rest of the world. I imagine most British people would find it strange, the inverse of your friend’s experience. My instinct is to say don’t perform an unnecessary medical procedure on your child and let them decide as an adult. You can’t put a foreskin back on. But I sympathise with the cultural aspect of it you’re having to contend with in the USA.

    Side note: I did consider getting circumcised at one point. I was in a BDSM relationship. My penis was consensually “hers” and she preferred it after being with a Jewish guy. It was a rule that I couldn’t get it out without retracting my foreskin. If it had become a long term relationship I might have done it.
