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/

Jfc the vegan extremism in tech shows so hard on Lemmy it makes me both embarrassed to be in tech, and on Lemmy.
Fuck off. Feeling guilt (or worse yet, telling others to feel guilty) for eating beef when there exist billionaires with private jets is beyond absurd. Especially when we consider food availability, cost efficacy of feeding the populations...
Get your head out of your asshole.
You're no better than the Christofascists telling 'the gays they'll go to hell,' ramming ideology down peoples throats by way of guilt and shame. Exact same ideological posturing. Its abhorrant; it's pathetic.
I don't think it's irrational to be critical of decisions just because there are worse evils. Whataboutisms don't solve anything, because you basically invalidate any argument with "but rich people have private jets".
You can have more of a bearing on your fellow man than you do on corporate untouchables, so if you want to see change, start with the small stuff.
No. That is just rampant stupidity. That is the same as a fat person celebrating eating a salad for lunch while still planning on gorging themselves on chocolate for dinner.
Blaming individual poor person choices IS ALWAYS WRONG in a world with billionares. PERIOD. This is fucking brainless in-fighting because you are too stupid to understand the sheer scale of the world or the rich's impact on it. Genuinely, a pathetic attitude to have and especially to defend.
Cool so I should ignore issues around me because someone else out there is doing much worse. I didn't even mention fighting people over it, I simply believe it's worth discussing and debating these topics, regardless of its relative impact. Without community and localism, culture will vanish, and culture is how things change.
Do you have a moment to discuss our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
🙄
I'm good thanks
If you genuinely think vegans are no better than people who want to force me into conversation therapy and ban hormones, you've completely lost the plot. Seriously touch some grass, and stop trivializing the actual dangers of FASCISTS WHO WANT TO FUCKING MURDER PEOPLE EN MASSE by comparing it to feeling hurt by a goddamn lemmy post
Big fan of those downvotes, it's very nice knowing y'all think veganism is somehow equivalent to wanting to murder minorities. Seriously yall are fucking ridiculous, look at your goddamn selves and figure out where the fuck you went wrong. The people who want to kill me are worse than vegans, how the actual fuck do you need to be reminded of that? Jesus fucking christ
FUCK you
Oh, good point. Beautifully articulate.
Tagged as 'vegan douche.'
I'm not a vegan dumb fuck.
lmao ok. You're a douche about meat eating. I tagged you as such for a personal reminder that you're obnoxious.
Its great, next time I see you being obnoxious out in the wild I can just block you under the assumption you're a low value chucklefuck not worth wasting time on.
Tag me !! I wanna be on the obnoxious vegan list !!! That way you'll avoid interacting with me on account of me being every bit as evil as a literal nazi
Vegan douche, truly the only evil in this world equivalent to christofascism. Please grow up
I guess I shouldnt expect you to be good at reading. Pity.
"get your head out of your asshole" XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD You lost the fucking plot, quit while you're only a couple miles behind. Christofascism is worse than veganism. Do you actually deny that?
Did I misread you? Did you not say annoying vegans are no better than christofascists? Because that would be fucking ridiculous, one group is trying to genocide multiple minorities and you know which one. You being a tiny bit upset bc someone said beef is shitty is not equivalent to genocide, only someone who gives zero fucks or has nothing on the line would be that far removed from reality. Grow. The. Fuck. Up. Touch. Some. Fucking. Grass. Fascism is worse than veganism. Seriously how the fuck is that even a debate?????
this is based on poore-nemecek 2018, a paper with dubious methodology
I don't see any sources you brought up, only doubt and bullshit.
the LCA sources cited by poore-nemecek state explicitly that LCA studies should not be combined since they are disparately methodized. pootlre-nemecek combines them anyway.
I still see no source provided that proves it wrong, or provides evidence of the contrary to the data presented.
try reading poore-nemecek 2018's own citations.
Cattle produce a disproportionate share of methane, compared to their numbers or calories produced. It’s a fact backed by IPCC, FAO, UNEP, and every major climate assessment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions#Agriculture
