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.


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/

I’ve never understood why people get earrings, despite them often being unattractive.

Nose studs always look like a booger to me. Wear your booger if you like, but it does not look good. I’m not staring because it’s somehow cool, but I keep wondering if you’ll notice e the booger on your face

So you’re staring, to be a judgemental asshole on purpose, and you’re proud of it. Interesting.

Proud of my eyes being pulled toward a booger on someone’s face out of revulsion? Sure, whatever gets you through the day

It’s not a booger, and it takes half a second to figure out it’s not one. You don’t have to “stare”, yet decide to do it, and to share the news on a public forum. If that’s not pride, what are you trying to convey, here? The fact it triggers revulsion for you is not anyone’s problem but yours lol

Sure, if a booger on your face is what you want people to notice about you, that is your choice

It’s your problem you can’t see anything else, not theirs. They could wear pink fuzzy clothes written “FUCK ME” on their ass - you are the one staring based on nothing but personal taste. But sure, let’s play pretend like they have to cater to your taste to avoid your gaze lol. It’s the same backwards logic used by misogynists when it comes to women wearing revealing clothes.

You’re either discussing out of bad faith and are actually perfectly aware and content with acting like an asshole, or you’re that much of a moron that you don’t even realize you’re the one seeing an imaginary booger. I’ll therefore stop this “discussion” here. Have a good one regardless.
