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/

you’d love england and scotland
for me i can’t think of anything worse, i’ll stick to brisbane even if it means the car gets hot (for a few minutes until ac cools it right down)
Second this. Move to Ireland, Wales or Scotland. Even in the sunny season, it could be overcast or partly cloudy 2/3 of the time. Even better: the Faroe Islands. But looking at the climate statistics, Germany isn't too bad either. Though we still get those meteorological highs multiple times a year and it'll be sunny and melting temperature in your attic flat and/or car.
I think the cloudiest place on earth is the west coast of Columbia.
For most of the year, yes, agreed, but the hot summers days here are absolutely brutal , especially in the last 5 or so years.
Ironically, hot days are more of an issue to me now than they were back when I was living in a country where August temps would hit low-mid 50s. (That's the negative part of the tradeoff; I would still take England weather over the desert heat, since walking outside is very possible and doesn't kill you.)
