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)
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/
I don't think this is an unpopular opinion. I make my bed as my bedroom can be seen from the living room; sometimes I leave the door open. Otherwise I don't care.
Unsure about the bacterial concerns you have tho. Feels like a non-issue as long as your sheets are changed frequently.
I think some people make their beds as to them the room looks untidy if they don't, its just preference. But it is definitely a boomer generation thing, my parents were the same.
Is this unpopular? I thought it was just common knowledge to not make a bed because of the moisture.
You do you! It does look nicer when it's made though, and it makes the room feel cleaner. (IMO)
Counter argument: A tidy looking room makes me happier. Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time, ergo, making your bed is not wasted time.
If your house is the reflection of your mental state, then the other way around is also true.
I understand the tidy looking bit, in the rest of my room you won't find dust, cobwebs, or dirty clothes. I just never make my bed. Most people I know think that is weird. Partners are generally unimpressed (too lazy to make his bed).
I won't try to change your mind, that would be hypocritical of me...you just have to find a partner who cares equally.
The only reason that ever convinced me was the opinion that it simply feels nicer to get into a made bed at the end of a long day.
Different strokes, I like to roll in. The worst for me is getting into a hotel room and needing a crane to get the sheets off my feet. First thing I do in hotel rooms is unmake the bed.
