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 never understood why people get earrings, despite them often being unattractive.

Ear rings look uncomfortable to wear. Isn't it annoying having them jiggling around on your ears.

Not really, depending on the earrings. Personally I find a nice comfy pair of smaller hoops, usually, that I can comfortably shower and sleep with. I’ll wear those until I get tired of them and then find something else.

Dont you worry about the spike on the end of the ear ring stabbing your next when you roll over in your sleep?

It's not sharp. You'd need some kind of freak accident.

I'm unlucky enough to be the one who dies to an ear ring

I’ve got small gauges, I just don’t feel them at all. I could see more dangling jewelry being kind of irritating…

I haven't worn them recently, but the jingling is actually what got me into earrings. I liked having slightly dangly earrings and so when I shook my head they would jingle delicately.
