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/

[GENERAL] Buttering bread with the back of a spoon is easier and better than doing it with a knife (lemm.ee)

Try it before you dismiss it, that's all I'm saying!

I feel like you would need a really warm spoon for this.

A lot of people have commented about butter being hard and I'm wondering if it's a location-dependent thing? Those solid butter blocks are a thing here (UK) but I don't know anyone who uses them as a normal daily butter for spreading, they're mostly just if you're cooking or something and it doesn't matter that it's a big solid lump.

I keep my butter at room temperature, which could be cool enough to be firm or mostly melted, depending on the season.

But if the spoon is cold, then soft butter will stick to it. If the butter is too hard, then neither a spoon or a knife will spread it easily.
