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/

In short:

Image/video related to your interest = dopamine hit. Constant dopamine hits = addiction. Addiction = depression, less braincells, mental illness.

Text only = none of the above because no image/video = makes you think. And thinking is (obviously) good.

"Does not rationale" is "pure, unaltered science"?

See, to me it is gibberish. "Does" is an auxiliary verb and "not" is a negating modifier (an adverb) that is supposed to be followed by a verb.

"Rationale" is not a verb. It is a noun.

For someone telling people to do things that make them think you're astonishingly bad at the activity in question yourself. For someone telling people to communicate in words, you're astonishingly bad with words yourself. Were this a religious argument I'd be pointing you to that thing about specks and beams right about now.
