What’s your ultimate unpopular opinion?

There is no situation where you should start a greenfield c++ project in current year
Small personal project, like a console app that searches a directory for files of a specific type and produces a json output? I think you are incorrect sir

Where are you getting your information?
The majority of all the plants that humans grow are fed to livestock.
this is a lie

Admitting immigrants is based for other reasons
I would argue that it doesn't matter the reason.

most people don't want to eat soy cake, or crop seconds, or spoilage. feeding that to livestock is a conservation of resources, not a waste.
Even if this were true, it does not address the moral argument that is at the root of this discussion. It's a way that you distract yourself from the moral component of your choices. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it doesn't even matter if you believe it or not. It just has to distract you long enough that you get past the point where you might accidentally engage your empathy, and have a feeling you don't want to have.

I think this depends on where you live. If you live in the US, maybe. Private healthcare means the effects on the public are limited to traumatizing people, the services to dispose of your body, and EMS.
In area with socialized healthcare, ain't no way my taxpayer dollars are going towards fixing your head if you crash.
I think that's exactly what happens if you live in an area with socialized healthcare. What are you trying to say

The Lemmy users who call themselves "Leftists" are garbage human beings. Shitty, hostile, unnecessarily combative, will disagree with you about anything you say even when you're on the same page.
And most of them aren't really that left. Trying to talk about abolition of police and prisons is something they would never agree to, even though it's a fundamentally leftist ideal. They're just bad people.

I prefer rap music by white artists because it's less likely to feature the N word.
I only listen to rap by artists that can write a full fledged symphonic track.

Black liquorice tastes good
Find a European/Dutch deli if you've never been in one you might really enjoy what you find

Where are you getting your information?
Human food crops could have been grown instead, on a fraction of the land.
human food crops are grown. soy is a great example. about 80% of soy is pressed for oil, and the byproduct is fed to livestock.

the moral argument in this thread is about allocation of resources. if you want to make a separate moral argument, you're free to do so.

Ah, the age-old unpopularopinions dilemma. Do I upvote because I agree, or upvote because it is unpopular and I disagree?
It's not that hard i don't think. Just ask yourself should other people see this comment?
Upvote only if it's an easy yes

Australia and New Zealand
Also Canada

Are you that blind to the world? Do you really look at something like.... The Trump administration, and think "Like, hw stupid can you all be? Who’s going to decide? Obvious professionals who know of kids and have worked with them. Social workers, pedopsychiatrist, teachers, etc.".
Very clearly professionals and the people who have the best in mind are not the ones who are chosen by those in power. Get real, truly pathetic take
Thinking that Trump and your shitty country is the only one in the world is pathetic to say the least. Nothing will work in your country (and I'm not talking just about kids but in general) but that doesn't mean it won't work in other countries as well

You should upvote that specific reply if you have more than 2 IQ.

Hot water? Now that's cereal killer territory right there
Whoa hold on, hold on. There's an advocate out there somewhere for putting orange juice on cereal. Hot water seems mild with that in the world

Most users of those so open source, decentralizing apps are from the USA so, go figure...

This post did not contain any content.
It's insane how many removed call lots of the ideas here "Eugenics". Eugenics is about producing the best GENES possible, while a lot of the replies here say that bad parents should not be allowed to make kids. Nobody talked about stopping people who aren't so "perfect" (biologically-wise) to make kids. Just not have more kids suffering by growing in abusive and broken households or been poor and have it very hard in life.
People are Lemmy are not much smarter that those on Reddit, it seems...

Suicide is perfectly acceptable and should be a right, we should all have the choice of when we want to go. Some pain, physical or emotional is too much, or loss can be too great.
I don't care if I could or can get better, I should be able to down some hemlock and leave.
I’m with you.
Many years ago I read a sci-fi story about a society where crimes are punished by extending your life (which is dreary in some way - I don’t remember). The protagonist keeps committing suicide but being brought back to life by advanced medical technology and punished with more time to live.
In the end, he manages to completely destroy his body, so the state takes a cell from an old blood test, clones the person from it, and adds the punishment to the clone.
That story stayed with me since then. It really shed light on the point of view that not wanting to live can be natural and forcing people to live in pain can be very cruel.
