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/

Also, they've sucked ever since they stopped having just basic smiley faces.

I don't rememeber 'men' being prominent in the packaging and we just called the people 'legos' like the rest of the sets. So i'm half with you on them being kegos and not minifigs, but all of the people in the sets are just legos.

legos

Blasphemer! That's like saying 'traffics'. Are you trolling? ;-)

If half the world can say “maths”, we can say “legos”.

As long as no one is allowed to say "Pokemons", I agree with that compromise.

One must capture all Pokemons

Yeah, but you have to be able to say the difference between Lego blocks (yes blocks, be happy I'm capitalizing Lego) and Lego men.

Can't think of a situation where that distinction would be necessary. Like for the castle set we called them knights or soldiers, police were police, that guy was that guy, etc.

Sounds like you’re not with them on any of it tbh.

I'm with them on the lego part...
