Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Within the diverse palette of existence there is room for all things. Do not go to your deathbed with the belief that upholding these arbitrary laws have made you better, or happier, because they did not. Put pineapple on pizza, try it because you can, because we live in an age where we can carbonate fruit and make carrots taste like salmon, because we have cakes that look like shoes and microwaves and dragons, because miso and chocolate - things that would have never been in the same room together without our monumental progress as a species - go well together, because there is tomato flavoured hot chocolate and it's actually good. Taste of the cornucopia, pass your experiences along, but do not limit its capacity.
I won't read what you wrote. My mind is closed and my opinion is rock solid. I will die with a frieless shawarma on my chest and nobody will convince me otherwise.
You might have put a lot of effort in your comment, which I can appreciate. Unfortunately, you have met an immovable object.
I'm glad you are happy to limit your life experiences
Thank you for being happy for me. I appreciate you.
