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.


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/

This is 99.999% NOT an unpopular opinion.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's just like reddit; any actually unpopular opinion would get downvoted to hell

I've been told my opinions aren't actually unpopular. I'm just a dick about it.

[–] theJWPHTER88@kbin.social 3 points 4 months ago

It's okay by me; no one's actually got their guts and feels hurt by that much. All is fair game.

What if there were a place to post truly unpopular opinions but we didn't call it out?

I know. We could call it Popular Opinions.

Sorry, glad at least for some solidarity. Hope someone tells the frontpage sometime soon.

I find even 500,000aire culture to be boring. WOW, you bought a truck, put on siding and went on a cruise. Spent $600 on drinks. Very exciting.

Idk man, I'd be pretty excited if that were me.

People find such activities enjoyable, but ideas like that are not very creative or interesting.

I enjoy imagining what I would do if money were no object. But agreed, I find what others actually do to be profoundly boring.

I admittedly would like to have my own underground survival complex.

[–] fah_Q@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Selfish boaring, Dumb and boring.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Suit yourself. I just want to live underground like a dwarf.

Yeah, but I'd like for it to be super high tech.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 8 points 4 months ago

well, you can just say BatCave and everyone will know what you mean.

With heat like this, same here.
