Unpopular Opinion
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/

But to catch some downvotes as well:
You can't claim to be an environmentalist and not be vegan at the same time
Thats still unpopular but at least it's true. :)
So have a few hens out back eating all the ticks in the yard and supplying me with eggs is hurting the environment in a way that is terrible? I'd have to look more into that, but really they surely can't be as gaseous as cows.
Well, there are still valid ethical and health reasons not to eat their eggs. Chicken feed always contains soy from rainforest-areas as well. But if your backyard eggs are the only animal products you use, then I'd say that you're already doing pretty good.
I used to have them when I lived in an area that didn't care. Was hoping to go back to having them when I retire one day. Didn't expect to hear they were a bad choice. Thanks for the response
I've heard of a spherical cow, but a gaseous cow is new to me :)
