What's the weirdest thing you're upset about?
-
The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don't want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.
I'm still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I'm a gringo, I shouldn't have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.

Okay, if you're looking for weird?
Bad perforations. Drives me insane. Any product that is perforated to tear easily, 9 times out of 10 they fucked it up and the perforations may as well not even be there or even make it worse
My vitamin packets: I try to separate one out but then accidentally tear open another vitamin behind it.
Cardboard food packaging: I start tearing a strip to open but then the strip breaks and leaves 3/4 still stuck on the packaging.
Plastic food packaging: "This bag is resealable!" Or, what they mean to say is that if you try to tear it open using the pre-cut line, you'll tear below the resealable part.
Glass bottles/jars sealed with plastic: You're lucky if you can even tell where they perforated it. Try ruining your nail pulling up every edge you can find until maybe it tears eventually (likely not where the actual perforation is, either). Or you can ruin a knife scratching your own tear against the metal cap instead.
Toilet paper: You'd think the sections that are already partially punctured would be the weakest point to tear most easily, but it's actually the middle of the goddamn sheet, as we all know.
Bonus points for other packages where a top film or foil covering a container is weaker than the glue used to seal it around the edges, so you're left with little bits of lid that can't be removed except surgically with tweezers.
If you can't fucking do food packaging right, save some money by not even trying and just tell me I need to use scissors or a knife, because that's what ends up happening most of the time anyways. Fuck.
I feel so seen today.

Month breathing huh?
I done fucked up. I'm leaving it.

Timezones are fucking dumb and I hate them
I think you mean daylight savings time is dumb & you hate it,(?) which would be understandable.
Time zones however are part of nature.

Thank you!

Hating daylight savings isn't weird, it's dumb and everyone knows it's dumb.
Timezones are arbitrary lines on the map that were made when trains were new and there was no good way to coordinate otherwise. We are way past that, everyone has an automatically synced and precise way of telling time on them pretty much at all times. The "time" is an arbitrary number. Noon is not when the sun is highest in the sky most of the year unless you live near the equator, midnight is rarely "the middle of the night", 9 to 5 should be deleted, and have one universal time would be one step closer to uniting human kind.
Timezones are fucking dumb, it's not the 1800s. I'll fight to the death over this.

That everyone dies alone.
Really? Some people die in airplane crash while holding hands with a loved one sitting next to them.
The lovers who died in an embrace together in that Pompeii volcano disaster a long time ago
People die together sometimes in car crashes

There's a new Tron movie. With Jared Leto in the lead role.
Fuck Jared Leto.
Jared Leto does fuck a lot of people

Reseed with clover and then plant moss and native flora. Its good for helping out bees and other pollinators and invites other wildlife into your yard if live up against woods like I do. I've seen rabbits, raccoons, deer, flocks of turkey, and even a bobcat once.
HOAs can eat my whole ass.
And today on Lemmy we learned that bees thrive on the right amount of the nutrient sterol

People who chew with their mouths open should be fucking euthanized.
Obviously, I don’t actually think that, but as a misophonic person who was brought up right, it drives me fucking insane when people do this.

Those plastic bags at the grocery store, to put loose fresh produce in? Why the fuck do they never open easily? With all these whizz-bang technologies we've developed, you'd think someone would design/make bags you don't have to wrestle with to open.
paper produce bags enter the chat

That vacuums are so terribly loud and whiny (and unnecessarily tiny space heaters). Older vacuums used to be bigger and run slower, but in my experience vacuumed as much or even better. Nowadays they put several kilowatt motors in there that somehow don't do as much but produce immense noise and heat.
If someone vacuums with their window open I can tell from over 100m away by the whine. Fuck that.
I used to hate vaccuming because of that. I'm glad to have an actually quiet vacuum now (a Henry). They're rare, but they do exist.

I was talking with a guy at work the other day about this. Apparently he and I are both guilty of trying to exit insert mode and run vim commands in windows notepad.
I can't even count the amount of times I've sent some variation of "Yeah, so I think we should reboot the server:wq" into irc

Shit observational comedians harvesting this thread for material

Don't send me videos if the background audio is some asshat wheeze-laughing about whatever supposed funny thing is playing. It's never funny and it ruins my interest in watching the shit immediately.
I feel the same about videos with titles like "Try not to laugh challenge" - well guess what, I'm not watching your video and I won your challenge, plus I saved myself some time. Just... leave it to me to decide for myself what I find funny, okay?

How I feel about motorcycles.
Motorcycles are better than cars though. On average they get many more miles to the gallon and they cause less traffic than the giant SUVs that Americans are addicted to.

I understand why we have timezones, but I've never heard an explanation for leap seconds that was particularly compelling.
I know that years and days don't exactly match up, but as far as I'm concerned, whoever it is that's being inconvenienced by the Earth being a few seconds out of rotation can go figure out their own workaround instead of messing up a million peoples' daily rollup scripts.

Yep. If the video has to explicitly encourage you to watch it, just imagine how worthless it is.
