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.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I've refused to use vinegar because of its ungodly smell. I'm not sure what's with me but vinegar is disgusting and utterly repugnant. I hate salads with it, I hate dishes that use it, salt and vinegar chips will actually make me gag and vomit.
Love rice vinegar though. Sushi is delicious and goes well in certain ramen. Some stir fry's too
Fair enough, I guess the topic was about cleaning and not so much cooking but I get that. Rice vinegar is milder in scent. Do you also reject apple vinegar, balsamic and other varieties (as a food?)
I do similarly dislike apple cider vinegar but I do actually like balsamic, especially real balsamic (I know, expensive taste). That being said it does have to be used carefully, I generally dislike when it's used "raw" and the vinegar isn't cooked off, like in salad. It is ok when drizzled in small quantities over certain pasta dishes. I do actually enjoy balsamic vinegar as a glaze for meats as they go into the oven or as a marinade before being fried/sauteed.
Other than that and rice vinegar I pretty much reject vinegars as food and detergent. They do make good mild rust removers but I always quarantine and shun those to the deepest bowels of the garage, unlikely to terrorize me.
