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/

I hate nuts. I'm not allergic to them.

Everything about them is wrong, I've never had food that contained nuts that wouldn't have been significantly better without them.

Chocolate with nuts - What was wrong with just the former

Nuts on their own - Might as well eat wood

Nutbars - gross.

Food with nuts is just bad, and the sooner we move on from this dated cultural institution the better.

This was inspired by the last two posts

Upvoted because I'm jealous. I can't have nuts in the house because twin is allergic to tree nuts and I love her just enough to remove all them from the house so I can't cross contaminant anything accidentally. Would be easier if I hated them but boy I miss walnuts.

because twin is allergic to tree nuts

Why not get that treated? Leaving it untreated isn't helping unless it's not possible. Immunotherapy for this exists.

Insurance won't cover it. We could look again but it's still unlikely!

Interesting that only one of you has allergies. When did you realize?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I was the healthier baby and now the 'healthier' adult. Er, my immune system was better at least. I an not healthy lol.

Twin always reacted much stronger to the cats than I did so they got a full workup as a kid. The tree nuts started at pine nuts but expanded over the years.

Why don’t you get rid of the twin?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cause quite often I love my twin! Sometimes I'd like to throw them into low earth orbit but not over the nuts!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No one would blame you if you drive them into a beautiful wooded area and let them free then go and buy nuts though.

Mother has said I can only murder twin over lack of them doing chores, not over allergies!
