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.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Jfc the vegan extremism in tech shows so hard on Lemmy it makes me both embarrassed to be in tech, and on Lemmy.
Fuck off. Feeling guilt (or worse yet, telling others to feel guilty) for eating beef when there exist billionaires with private jets is beyond absurd. Especially when we consider food availability, cost efficacy of feeding the populations...
Get your head out of your asshole.
You're no better than the Christofascists telling 'the gays they'll go to hell,' ramming ideology down peoples throats by way of guilt and shame. Exact same ideological posturing. Its abhorrant; it's pathetic.
I don't think it's irrational to be critical of decisions just because there are worse evils. Whataboutisms don't solve anything, because you basically invalidate any argument with "but rich people have private jets".
You can have more of a bearing on your fellow man than you do on corporate untouchables, so if you want to see change, start with the small stuff.
Do you have a moment to discuss our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
🙄
I'm good thanks
Cool so I should ignore issues around me because someone else out there is doing much worse. I didn't even mention fighting people over it, I simply believe it's worth discussing and debating these topics, regardless of its relative impact. Without community and localism, culture will vanish, and culture is how things change.
Oh, good point. Beautifully articulate.
Tagged as 'vegan douche.'
I guess I shouldnt expect you to be good at reading. Pity.
this is based on poore-nemecek 2018, a paper with dubious methodology
the LCA sources cited by poore-nemecek state explicitly that LCA studies should not be combined since they are disparately methodized. pootlre-nemecek combines them anyway.
I still see no source provided that proves it wrong, or provides evidence of the contrary to the data presented.
try reading poore-nemecek 2018's own citations.
Cattle produce a disproportionate share of methane, compared to their numbers or calories produced. It’s a fact backed by IPCC, FAO, UNEP, and every major climate assessment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions#Agriculture
I'm embarrassed for you.
Seriously, reading skills worse than a 12 year old. You literally did misread, and Im not here to teach you how to complete a sentence before responding to it.
Blowing up my inbox like an incel after a bad date, like I would ever continue a conversation with you. Go touch grass yourself, lmao.
Guess what? You'll reply to this. Because you're a petulant fucking child
Gonna block you now, byeee 🥂
Tag me !! I wanna be on the obnoxious vegan list !!! That way you'll avoid interacting with me on account of me being every bit as evil as a literal nazi
You were previously tagged as "douche", and it's clear you are consistent.
So no, I'm not tagging you. That was done months ago. I'm blocking you.
I suggest everyone reading this do the same.
