What's the weirdest thing you're upset about?

Timezones are fucking dumb and I hate them

fucking steven king with his fucking stupid ending to the dark tower.
Fuck that trumpet.

I've argued for this before, both on Lemmy and elsewhere. Nice to see someone else with the same take.
Do you also get the impression that people who disagree with you almost always fail to understand the argument?
Absolutely, I'm probably going to do a YouTube video or a podcast or something with a friend of mine soon, this has been a multi year debate and we got into it over the weekend about it lol

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.
When people say "We cannot do that because of GDPR/insurance". I do not know, why these two "reasons" trigger me so hard, but: you dismissed an idea within microseconds, because you ever read the GDPR or the insurance conditions? You really know all the court rulings and intricacies around those of the last decades, to know within half a second, that something is not feasible?
Really, those are just magic words which for some reason makes everybody go "yep, that must be true. We can't do anything anymore, because of insurance or GDPR. That ist how the world works".

I am glad someone fleshed out their arguments some, but I still don't agree. I think they are fundamentally missing the point. The sun position and a "time" do not, and I would argue, should not, be coupled.

This shouldn't be weird, but I'm consistently upset at how dumb the average idiot is.
It's scary how stupid most people are without even realizing it and I hate how I have to suffer for it every day.
I am stupid, but I'm one of the rare ones that knows I'm stupid.

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.
i don't use those bags most of the time. I just put the produce in my trolley/basket.

The root cause of what you describe is a build or maintenance issue. Properly built, tuned, and maintained bikes don't drop chains.
Lol The root cause is a 12 year old with ADHD.

Anything text editing not supporting Vim mode, especially programming context.
After breathing Microsoft for 10 years, learning Linux and then learning windows does not have a native terminal text editor I was very irked.

I wfh so my car is 99% of the time outside my house. It's in the shop for a few days and no one is choosing to park in front of my house! I swear to God they must think I'm a raging hambeast or something, ready to screech out the window if someone parks there. It's not MY spot. I don't own it. Please park there when my car isn't there! So annoying!
Yeah the concensus in my town is you own the spots directly in front of your home unless there's a party or severe parking shortage.
Why would you park farther than you have to from your destination?
Might be different for you if you live in tight multi family homes.

How am I supposed to care about a series that takes 4 years between seasons
This is why I can't do manga. I switched to webtoons and novels. Novels tend to just get dropped and that drives me nuts.

Bicycle drivetrains keep getting more complex and expensive. A 3x9 drivetrain is beyond adequate, bulletproof, and inexpensive. But NooOoOoOooo, it's nearly impossible to get a quality bike with 3x9 now, without a full custom, DIY build. Everything has to be 1x11/12, which is expensive, touchy, and very particular, all while still lacking the gear range of 3x9.
It all seriously sticks in my craw.
For mountain biking at least, 1xs are superior due to the narrow-wide chainring, not to mention completely eliminating a derailer and associated controls. I don't understand how this could possibly be more complicated or expensive than a 3x9, but I'm sure these companies have found a way.

I hate how so many seem to have cushy jobs and infinite money while barely having enough brain cells to balance on two feet. Like, you can barely read and make more money than god.

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.
Cathartic. Thank you

HBO never finished Carnivale.
That's not weird. I mean the show is weird as fuck, but your thought isn't.

- Auto playing and unrelated videos that play when I open a website.
- Ads in apps that needs 100 close button clicks to skip, each of which is a z-index bomb that takes you to play store to install their crappy app.

Phil Collins pisses me off, I can’t explain why, I just fucking hate that guy.
I've never really forgiven him for normalizing electronic drums.

Our prime minister couldn't explain what prime numbers are
In the '90s I had a phone call with the CEO of American Games and he didn't know what a fraction was.

Can't believe people don't have shame in liking whatever disney shits out.
I don't have a giant hate for disney, in fact it's fair to say I'm relatively uninformed about their offerings.
But every Disney movie I've seen is basically the same script. "I have self doubt and I'm judged by my role models for my non-conformity. Now I'm going to go on a crazy adventure with sidekicks where I discover that the things that make me different actually give me strength!"
Why any adult would want to see this shit is beyond me.
