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 feel the same way about a good donut. Also bacon is best as just bacon and never improved by wrapping it around things and under or over cooking it. And the perfect cookie is a simple, perfectly baked, chocolate chip cookie. With so many foods, simple and perfectly prepared will always beat overly complex.

Chocolate chip is a garbage-tier cookie. I get supremely disappointed when what I thought was a delicious oatmeal raisin cookie turns out to be a lame chocolate chip. Won't eat them.

Now that is definitely an unpopular opinion.

One the one hand I agree that oatmeal raisin cookies are great, but you're just wrong about chocolate chip. Sometimes my grandma would "adulterate" oatmeal raisin cookies by adding M&M's.

I feel you on donuts since my favorite donut is a plain fastnacht

I used to like bacon but then my tastebuds decided to rewire in my early 20s and now it's too salty :[

Ooh, here's another horrible opinion from me. The best chocolate chip cookie has no chips. Just give me that delicious baking soda taste yessss.

If anyone knows what planet I'm from please lmk.

I respect your opinion, but you're missing out on so much good delicious hot crispy sizzling bacon. Just by unsalted next time lol

I mean plain sugar cookies are pretty good too. But I need the chocolate.

That might be one to mention to your doctor actually. It shouldn’t be anything too concerning but it may be indicative of a deficiency in some nutrients or mineral.

My doctors got very concerned when I mentioned that I disliked the taste of salt. Not just salty foods or bacon but just the weird mineral and acrid taste of salt. Better now but still not a fan.

That your body does want a different sodium pairing is interesting.

Do you drink a lot of electrolyte drinks like Gatorade?
