Unpopular Opinion
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 doesn’t 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/

I'd like to think I've got a pretty adventurous palette, and I've tried all kinds of fruits with chocolate; fresh, dried, in various preparations, and while some are tolerable, is just tolerable really what you want when reaching for a treat?
I was about to use your mention of cherries and say that a German chocolate cake is far superior to a black forest cake, but that had me realize - is coconut a fruit? Perhaps I've got one exception...
Nope, coconut is a mammal. It's hairy and has milk.
:P
Perfect logic, this is now my explanation and I'm sticking to it.
Coconuts are just really, really big seeds. They're a nut, as the name implies.
However, I have a counterpoint because there is one fruit that I absolutely like with chocolate. Dried mango slices in dark chocolate are delicous.
Well, okay, two - bananas in chocolate are tasty. Back in the times when chocolate fountains were a regular occurrence at events, I could have eaten half my body weight in them.
Bananas makes sense in my mind; they aren't overly flavorful, so there isn't a strong fruit flavor that clashes with the chocolate. Why mangoes work so well, on the other hand, is beyond me.
Yes, dark chocolate with orange is a go-to for me
Yes, coconut is a fruit.
