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.

I did not get it for looks. I wanted a piece of jewelry that was not constrictive. I don't like rings or chains or bracelets. Its more of a personal object I keep on me. That being said I don't really use it anymore as I don't feel like having one anymore so I don't bother wearing any. One thing is I never bought a nice one so by and large I just wore garbage. Let me put it this way. A tshirt with some logo on it does not look better than a really nice plain one color tshirt. Sorta looks worse. But maybe I like that band or comic book or whatnot (or maybe I just got it free and it will let me enter a store). EDITED - going further. I have long hair. Many might say that is unattractive but others would not. I like my hair long though so it just becomes a thing that I have relationships with women that find long hair on dudes attractive or at the very least are neutral about it.
