What is the creepiest thing that society accepts as the cultural norm?

Birthdays.

Essentially, people gather to commemorate a certain person being a step closer to death. Children conduct rituals such as covering their eyes and attempting to reattach an animal's appendages. Adults attempt to alter their perception of reality by drinking old fruit or ingesting mysterious substances. At the end, everyone stands in a circle around a decorated object and set it on fire with a prescribed number of flames. Then they recite a repetitive chant, extinguish the flames, plunge a blade into the object, partition it amongst the room's occupants, and slowly savor said object's remains.
