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.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

It's legal to drink bleach, but everyone seems to understand that it's that bad and avoid it anyway...

If it got you high people would do it

It’s legal to smoke tobacco, many people understand it’s that bad and still do it.

Certainly a lot less now that it's not being advertised everywhere as a cool thing to do. Used to be that you couldn't go out anywhere without seeing people smoking... "Smoking or non-smoking?" was just a standard question in any restaurant. Now, I can't remember the last time I saw someone smoking in public.

Funnily enough, you'd need to drink some pretty strong bleach for it too cause anything more than an upset stomach. Bleach isn't that harmful.

funnily enough, you'd need to shoot some pretty strong heroin for it too cause anything more than an upset stomach. heroin isn't that harmful.
