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/

lets pretend cats are not the reason the number of birds and birdspecies decline everywhere.
lets pretend all the dog owners that correctly point out cats train humans and not vice versa have poorly trained dogs.
dogs are still soooo much better as they have a much much bigger variety. cats? pffff...orange,void, snowball and trashmix. thats it. dogs on the other hand: all colors, sizes, skillsets...you can find a dog for everything.
I see we have imported the weird hatred of outside cats from Reddit

I mean, it is a very valid point. Outdoor cats are horrible for the environment, but also live far shorter, more violent and miserable lives. This is coming from someone who really likes cats. They should be indoors.
On the other hand... dogs stink, are relentlessly needy, and have to have violence trained out of them.
