Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesnβt provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Aren't they, though? Canned spaghetti isn't my jam but neither is dropping multiple weeks of grocery money on a single meal. Not saying the food isn't good, I'm sure it's wonderful, but then you go home and after a while, it ends up in the same place (more or less) as the $2 burger from lunch.
Lol, says the person who's never had such an experience.
If it all ends up the same place, then you may as well just eat canned spaghetti.
I'm sure we could tear apart anything you do with the same logic.
Note that my objection is based on the excessive price. The alternative doesn't have to be canned spaghetti or the previously-mentioned burger (though it certainly could be), grocery stores are packed full of things to choose from.
Also never said that I hadn't been to one but I didn't find it to be some grand eye-opening experience where everything clicked into place and made the hype make sense.
I won't present my account statements here or anything but I think you'd have a hard time finding anything with such a lopsided cost-to-value ratio in there.
Your ability to not get a point is incredible
Please go read what I wrote and think about what was actually being said.
Thanks, you too.
I already read your off topic, delusional, player piano music in your head comments, thank you. That's what led me to tell you to basically stfu already.
Are you certain you weren't just reading your own posts? 100%?
I block at least 1 person everyd day as policy. Thank you for nominating yourself as the next candidate. I have no need for people like you, and you serve no useful purpose on this platform or in my life. Bye.
