What’s your ultimate unpopular opinion?

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 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.
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?

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.
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?

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.

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

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

Not just that they exist but that they are a fucking huge drain on society.
As much as Billionaires are a cancer and the world would be better without them, Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers, he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night. Billionaires are the reason we dont get more nice things, these assholes are the reasons we cant keep the ones we have.
They also make any sort of socialistic change harder, because any time you try to help the "underprivileged" anyone who wants to oppose it can hold up one of these wastes of oxygen and use them as the spokesperson.
Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers,
True.
he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night.
If we could even comprehend the scale of his unpaid taxes, or their impact on our parks, we might discuss this at length...

Jack black isn't funny at all. He's worse, incredibly fucking irritating and annoying and a try hard. He epitomizes mainstream US "comedy"; obvious, loud, overstating the delivery of jokes with overwrought physical humor. He and Horatio Sanz must have studied under the same Sithlord. Can't stand him.
I never understood what so funny about him is (my brain not englishing oh god)

Milk should be poured before the cereal. I've always done this because pouring milk on top of the cereal gets the top wet and also kind of pushes the cereal down. I love crunchy cereal
Milk first makes it possible to get the wrong ratio of cereal to milk because
- the cereal floats and you have no idea how much you put in there
- You can underestimate how much volume the cereal takes up and not leave enough room in your bowl

Amazing how many plants rights advocates pop up every time someone mentions the cruelty and violence being endured by farm animals. And no other time.
It's the only time where it's relevant to the conversation, no? Why would you bring it up anywhere else?

no, you said those calories are wasted.
"Some of those are useless calories, we can't eat grass and on some lands where only grass grows so cows are a way of using that grass, but that's not the majority."

As it currently stands, the morally correct option for food production would probably be for a large amount of the population to starve. That, of course, is also not entirely morally correct.
Considering almost 1.5 billion adults in the world are overweight it wouldn't be so bad to let some people starve.
Guess what, most if not all veggies and vegans are also doing something morally dubious at best.
Factory farming, extensive farming, they’re all bad for the soil, bad for native wildlife, bad for native plants. The societal impacts of factory farming are also not small. In the end, the moral lines people draw are mostly at different places, neither is undoubtedly better than the other.Animals needs to eat and drink too, the meat industry has the highest tool on the farming industry.
I have personally tried to give up meat twice, once for 6 months and once for a year. On both cases my health suffered massively for it, and I went back to eating meat. I had a cousin who was, for many years, a hardcore vegetarian. She was also of the opinion that eating meat was wrong. A few years ago she reintroduced fish in her diet to overcome health issues after fighting them for years. Most symptoms subsided in a handful of months. I believe she now also eats beef, although infrequently and in small quantities.
I’m sorry to be that guy but reality is more complex than whatever moral line any one of us would like to draw. You’re not wrong but it would behoove you to acquire some nuance on your thoughts.It sound like your diet was off, if you don't eat animal products you need valid alternatives to complete and balance your diet. In cultures shaped around animal products it may not be automatic or easy to find alternatives. Our ancestors diet for example had less meat and more lentils, in countries were they consume less meat you are most likely to find popular dish with other proteins sources.
I find it amazing how little space corn syrup takes up relative to how much is produced. It's no wonder we use it in everything.

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.

Regular expressions are not that difficult and coders that refuse to learn them because they "look like line noise" are terrible at their jobs.
Easy enough to write. But reading and maintaining? That's the hard part.

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