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/

If it's just for blander flavour, why not using saw dust? No reason poisoning good food with ~~nuts~~ tree turds.
Hmm, I'm not sure my gut's microbiome would recognise the sawdust as digestible food and trigger actual satiation hormones. Nor would my brain recognise any protein chains associated with nutrition while my mouth broke it down. Digestive systems detect so much complicated information, you have to work at it to trick them. There's something nutritious in the walnuts that my system really likes and is noticeably glad to eat.
If your system doesn't need whatever walnuts would provide, perhaps your own baking needs a different alternative... Would you prefer some Omega-3 rich fish oil instead, make those brownies extra fudgy? :P
Just get used to it. When I was young I'd been grateful for some saw dust! All we got was coal dust back then and we had to walk three miles through the snow for it.
