Incest is fucking relative!

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 51 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Pun aside, on a socio-cultural and legal level yes it is relative, it all depends how far separated you are on the cousin tree and what is legally and culturally acceptable. Like in many Middle Eastern countries first cousin marriages is straight up normal and not considered incest.

It's legal in a lot of states in the US

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Icks me out, but I can’t find any moral fault.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I definitely get why it picks you out.imagine banging your cousin without one of your parents watching while you do it. Gross

[–] Tundra@sh.itjust.works 47 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

can you explain this to a brit

[–] flonflons@lemmy.world 136 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Typically the joke is that you escape family on Thanksgiving with your cousins to go on a walk and get high before returning. This twists it and adds incest

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 47 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I didn't know we were supposed to get high! We just got out of the family for a while

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 59 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

I didn't get high, I didn't get laid... goddamn, how much of life did I miss?

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago

It's never too late to follow your dreams!

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

Did you at least sneak a smirnoff ice out of the basement and share it on your walk?

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I was supposed to get laid with my cousin, but then I didn't get high

Wait, seriously? You guys didn't realize that you were supposed to smoke weed on "the walk"? That's hilarious.

The Royal family

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Sure! Thanksgiving is principally a national holiday in the U.S. that traces its roots to religious and historical traditions from England, particularly during the early 17th century colonies in the New World.

It’s meant to be an autumn harvest holiday. The apocryphal story is that Puritans sat down with Native Americans to feast and celebrate goodwill between their respective groups but the evidence for this is suspect at best.

Over time, Thanksgiving became more popular and involves heavy travel during the (pre-) holiday season. It’s a chance for families to enjoy each others’ company before Christmas and feast on roast turkey and a variety of vegetable dishes.

Hope this helps! Go with God.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is most instructional in this regard.

I mean IDK if you're both guys and you're second cousins I heard it doesn't even count and he agrees

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I understand the circumstances, but maybe next time if you wait until you have your dominant hand available for typing, your post might be a little bit more coherent.

No joke we have some in our family who are second cousins. They're known as the inbreds.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
