What’s your ultimate unpopular opinion?
-
That's exactly what I wrote
no, you said those calories are wasted.

That's not unpopular at all yet, highly hypocritical. "Feeling bad" is just a way to feel like you're giving something back, without actually helping.
If we feel good about it, we’re primed to continue the dark pattern. The first step is acknowledging the problem. If you remove the first step, subsequent steps can’t happen.
I get where you’re coming from. I see land acknowledgements used in colonies like NZ, Canada and USA yet treaties remain broken. I think (IMO) the answer is “all the things” rather than some. But we’re not even shuffling the deck yet as a population so making first steps accessible is important in my own experience. Too much in one go and peoples eyes glaze over.

most of what animals are fed are parts of plants people can't or won't eat, or grazed grass. in that way, we are conserving resources.
This is not true. The vast majority of farmed animals come from high intensity operations and the vast bulk of the food they eat is grown agriculturally.

Of course, it's important to do the first steps. But that's the thing. 99% of the population will stick to that first step. I plan to help people when I can in the future, but, I need to help myself first. Tho, see society around me, I don't see that happening. I need to get rich and the only way to be rich is to either sell something stupid, yet "hypnotizing" or, to be corrupted and doing illegal stuff (and if you don't have connection, will get caught).
People are dumb. Yeah, yeah, I know, everyone says that. But that's another point. We are ALL dumb and especially weak af. Especially me! Cheers my friend!

From everything I read in this thread… you won.
Graveyards don’t exist for the dead, they are a place where living people can mourn the loss of the dead person and remember older days.
I realize they're not really for the dead, but the living decide that their dead bodies are entitled to more space than some living. Plots cost thousands of dollars. We ostracize the unhoused. Our priorities are broken, and graveyards are yet another thing for those "with" that those "without" will not have.

Or people understood it as unpopular and upvoted something they disagreed with because it fits here.

I know you think that it's a real gotcha moment and that you totally destroyed my views, But you forgot the meaning of murder.
You see, to murder is to knowingly and purposefully kill someone.
If I saw you walking on the sidewalk and decided to go over and run you over and I killed you, that would be murder. But if I was driving and was in a car crash and ended up killing you, that is not murder.
Similarly, if I accidentally, without intent, killed an animal, it was not murder.
And yeah, even ants deserve to live. I wouldn't kill ants purposely. Is it hard not to kill ants by accident because they're so small and you can accidentally step on them without seeing them? Yeah, but it doesn't mean that I would knowingly kill them.
I dont mind killing cows/chicken/similar for their meat, bones, skin, and others. But I might understand your views if we are talking about needlessly murdering animals. Torturing animals.
But just killing animals in general? I lost you there.

That's willful self-delusion.

Most people on Lemmy aren’t as kind or open-minded as they like to appear. There’s plenty of hate here on this side of the aisle, but it gets excused because they believe they’re “on the correct side.”
tl;dr: You’re just as hateful and close-minded as the people you claim to be fighting. Same behavior, different colored hat.
Ah, the ol' "I have shit opinions and people told me so"

Hard agree on Pepsi is better than Coke

I've been buying the ones with zombies modes exclusively for 15 years because the industry refuses to make a fucking decent clone of that mode, and it annoys me
CoD has actually had some GREAT single-player campaigns when compared with their competition in the FPS space, honestly. MP? Yeah no, ew, especially lately
I will admit I did love that one (single player) mission in black ops 1 (I think) where you and a few guys raid a house with the lights out. That was fun and slightly scary and I loved it.

Lemmy users project their toxicity towards Reddit. This place can be quite hostile if you don't echo the 'correct' ideals.

The Beatles suck.
The Eagles are not as amazing as everyone thinks.Me and my GF both agree that Beatles songs are fantastic... when performed by people who aren't the Beatles.
I enjoyed the music in the film "Yesterday" muuuuuch more than i enjoyed the original versions.
Maybe it's the 60s style of it, idk. I just don't really get along with it

I like the one where you're driving around on boats shooting up vietcong encampments to the tune of sympathy for the devil...
or was that black ops 2?

Define needlessly?
You see, you probably define it as a subjective catch all for anything that you are used to having in your life.
But if you really inspect that idea you can reach all kinds of extremes, like do you really need a home? You can live on the street, do you really need a car? You could walk technically, do you really need meat? You could live perfectly healthy without it technically, do you need a towel after a shower? You can just let yourself dry, what about chocolate? Just a nice snack, is that a necessity? And marshmallows? Bread? Flavoured drinks?
So the line is individual and non linear. One might say they can live without cars but not without a home, one would say the opposite, one would claim that chocolate is more important than having towels, etc. Some can also say that the joy they get from turturing an animal is more significant for their own happiness than chocolate, or towels or eating meat, these people are 100% with the parameters of your logic, yet you lable it as unnecessary.
You could redefine necessity as things that would cause you serious harm if taken, which is still subjective but a little clearer. Most people can agree that never eating chocolate again would suck but not cause any serious harm. Most can also probably agree that not having a home would cause you serious harm. And while you might not like to admit it, scientifically going vegan won't just not cause you harm, it would actually be healthy for you, and just like people who go on all kinds of diets, it sucks at first, but it does not cause any serious harm.
So ask yourself, what justification can you use to inflict serious harm on to others for the sake of simple pleasure to you?

sure, but I can't eat cornstalks and I don't want to eat soy cake, so feeding that to livestock is a conservation of resources.

How tf does this shitty reply have 17 upvotes? How the fuck did 17 COMPLETE IDIOTS show that and though: "Hmmm... He is right!"
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.
This isn't even something new. This is how it's done with adoption. You can't all be so ignorant and dumb. I hate democracy because of idiots like you...
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

Would have if they were more aware. Go look at the top posts. Look at the bottom posts.
Get back to me.

Ah, the age-old unpopularopinions dilemma. Do I upvote because I agree, or upvote because it is unpopular and I disagree?
