I love my car and it’s way better and more convenient than even the best public transportation. Most of the people who hate cars can’t even drive one or are too broke to own one. Yes, let the anger flow.
The universe (or at least Earth) is a factory that produces endless suffering, and it would be better off deleted.
Professional Wrestling is stupid but the wrestlers are Oscar level performers. When the stunt category at the Academy Awards matures, watch pro wrestlers repeatedly win.
How real are we getting?

There is such a thing as rational suicide.
There’s a sweet spot. Unpopular opinions that get upvoted need to be trivial enough to not make anybody uncomfortable or angry.
Something like “Toilet paper orientation doesn’t matter” is far more likely to be upvoted by somebody who disagrees with it than “Everything bad that happens to your children is your fault because you knew it was a possibility and had them anyway”.
it ain’t capitalism, it’s cultural entropy.
Super unpopular around these parts, i’m sure
I thought it would be understood that I meant it ain’t capitalism’s fault…
Ahh that makes more sense then!
I don’t like Hawaiian pizza
I do. I used to hate on it before I tried it but after a friend dated me to order one, I did and enjoyed it ever since.
Whatever just say what you think and eat a couple downvotes every once in a while.
You know de wey.
You don’t even get that many downvotes before it stops being visible here. I once got something -1,000 on spez’s shitty site.
Then go in another thread and get like a dozen upvotes and you’re chillin
Ah, the natural fate of unpopular opinion communities.
The Þ dude is alright and Lemmy users have an irrational hatred for slightly-special characters. I wonder how many people are using automation to downvote every comment of his that contains a Þ, it’s way too consistent accross instances and communities to be entirely organic.
I respect their goals, but I am a moron and reading their comments physically hurts me
Lemmy users have an irrational hatred for slightly-special characters.
Which makes complete sense, as most lemmy users are slightly special characters who hate themselves
It’s true. I’m only here because I’m a loser with sporadic social skills and a tendency to think much better of my ‘average at best’ intellect. I’m like a John Smith here.
One thing that my brain is bothered by for whatever reason is that he uses the same character for both voiced and unvoiced forms of “th”. That may very well be the proper usage, but for some reason my brain doesn’t like it! Dunno why!
I supported him when he said it was to poison AI. Then someone proved to him in a thread it did nothing to poison AI. He didn’t reply and then showed up a few days later still doing it.
I don’t believe Þat it does anything against AI, eiÞer. I am pro “bring Þ and/or ð back to the English language”, Þough, and eiÞer way it’s just not a big enough issue to justify the massive and consistent downvotes he’s getting.
I started squinting real hard at the tesseract dev (before the controversy) when I saw a tesseract patch note that said something about getting rid of Þ (in some form, idr exactly, just that there was no mention of an option to turn it off). I think it’s nice to have a few instantly-recognizable posters in the community, esp. when what they’re doing is harmless.
That’s certainly in character. Icelandic users be like “Fuck me, right!?”
Sxan! I love his whimsie and really don’t understand the flak they catch. It’s a nice departure from the hate/doom feed. I have to actually intentionally read individual words. It’s like unexpected brain cardio.
What does @Sxan@piefed.zip have to do with this thread? Are you thinking they post an outsized number of posts on unpopular opinion communities or something?
I’m not sure I remember running across any of their posts more than a couple of times, but their post history doesn’t seem to intersect with unpopular opinion communities very much. (At least not as far back as I’ve scrolled.)
Or maybe you’re talking about someone else or I’m just not following.
Most of his comments have a lot of downvotes (usually only the ones that contain a thorn), and he doesn’t really post anything controversial beyond Þe orthography. This indicates that hating his Þ comments is popular, and Þus liking them unpopular.
Ah. Thanks. Yeah, you and YiddishMcSquidish explained and that makes sense.
I think they are saying that the popular opinion on lemmy is to not like sxan. But they do like sxan. So their positive opinion of them is unpopular.
Ah. Ok. That makes sense. Thanks much.
I feel like deep down we all know this:
The Devil’s fiddle solo in “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” was actually better than Johnny’s.
It’s clear in the Primus cover.
Oh somehow the existence of this has escaped me up to now. That was incredible.
I mean he absolutely cheated by having a band to assist. Of course it was going to sound better. Thankfully, he realized it wasn’t as good without the band included.
I’m pretty sure that CDB meant for the Devil’s solo to sound discordant and unmemorable. What I hear though sounds aggressive, passionate, and daring compared to Johnny’s “safe” catchy, melodic solo. Also they gave Johnny a call-and-response with vocalists so I’m not gonna hold the Devil’s backup band against him. Either way the Devil gave up that contest way to easily.
Given the Devil’s history, he really should have had him sign a legally binding (and easily misinterpreted) contract in blood and he would have had it easy.
Creating ANY kind of smoke should be banned in public. By public I don’t mean just bus stops and trains and shit. Literally anywhere but maybe your house. And smoking indoors is even more disgusting. Smoking in your garden? Is there anyone living within ~20 feet? Forbidden. Smoke machines on concerts may have an exemption.
I also fucking had enough of people making fires every fucking time the weather gets too hot for me to keep my windows closed. Then my bedroom smells like the great fire of London and good luck having a good night’s sleep like that.
Does this include fire pits, bbq, and smokers?
Apple users are technically inept morons
Men who drive giant pickup trucks are deeply insecure
People who want to live in HOAs are freedom-hating bootlickers
The only people who should be allowed to own trucks are laborers
Instragram users are all brain-dead
Privacy is important
People who do not learn how to fix or take care of the stuff in their lives are worthless
Men who watch sports, but do not nor have not ever played them are fat useless pathetic turds
Dogs that bite should all be euthanized, no second chances
Adults that buy and play with Legos suffer from arrested development and should do something useful with their lives
Your pedal bike is a stupid overpriced piece of junk, especially if it cost more than $400
If you wear sweats, crocs, pajamas or anything like that out in public you are a retard, go home and put on some pants
That ought to cover most things.
You got like 50% fairly popular opinions in there, and then some hopefully deeply unpopular ones, lol.
The Kinks are better than The Beatles
This is true but mostly because the Beatles are absolute dogshit.
And they definitely didn’t invent metal with their song “helter skelter”.
Who the actual fuck says that and can I punch them in the face?
Wow that escalated fast. Did you not detect sarcasm in my comment? I apologize.
It is well documented and in books about heavy metal, and by music historians and other experts, that they all say that heavy metal was invented by the beatles via their song helter skelter. Of course there is controversy and not everyone agrees with this. But you have to admit it is a good song. It is a banger to me and many other people. This is a common opinion. So that is why I said the unpopular opinion that it is not.
My unpopular opinion is that /c/unpopularopinion is fine the way it is.
My unpopular opinion is that /c/unpopularopinion is a garbage topic for a community, and it amplifies bad takes because even if people refute it in the comments a lot of people just read titles of posts and never look into the comments
Post that over there and see if the universe ceases to exist.
