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/

I’ve never understood why people get earrings, despite them often being unattractive.

I don't get piercings in general tbh.

Which is ironic because I have tattoos.

Something about just jamming something in your body and leaving it there just seems fuckin weird to me.

Again I get the irony considering I have tattoos ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

See I have no tattoos or piercings, and I find adding permanent art to myself fuckin weird. Different strokes for different folks.

The permanent part is what drives me nuts. I can't settle on a color for any of my stuff day-to-day. I would love to have walls, appliances, clothes, etc. all be able to change color at a whim. I would be horrified by any tattoo I had 25% of the time I had it, I guarantee.

Ha, so you prefer the jabs to be an in and out affair instead of a permanent one 😛
