I shouldn’t have to spam tap a screen to change the climate controls, whereas a dial would be so much simpler and easy to use. The screens are basically impossible to use with gloves on if you live in a colder place. And frankly, most automakers just suck at making them. They are super laggy and hard to use. Cars can still look modern with a clean button and dial interior setup, and perhaps a smaller screen to display information. The infotainment system should not have to constantly take the drivers attention off the road.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts I deleted Facebook in 2011 and since, never looked back and if anything so glad that I did.

The issue now, FB is so integrated into day to day life people only use that for advertising.

I hate getting emails about "Win this product" then you read how to enter and they say, Like Us/Follow Us and re post Us on Facebook to be entered.

Or a restaurant which is FB only and clicking the link you are greeted with a million log in screens and limited information.

IMO this is a rubbish way to get to your target audience and I avoid companies who solely use FB.

There are many reasons why small businesses no longer have actual websites and use FB instead. First, cost - for some businesses even a couple hundred dollars a year spent on a wonky one-page site can blow their entire advertising budget. Second, ease of updating and a quick way to disseminate time-critical information. Third, you're attached to a platform which already has most of your customers as clients.

Consider the fact that many mom and pop restaurants don't have the money or time for fancy web pages. Facebook is a free advertising alternative that allows them to showcase their menu in the area where customers are likely to be. Many business web pages can be in the hundreds to thousands of dollars. I'd rather look at their menu on Fb that be forced to sign up for a food delivery service that over charges the customer and underpays the restaurant.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts I've been going to baseball games my entire life. I have well over 1,000 games attended. One of my life long dreams is to catch a baseball in the stands. To me that is a chosen from the baseball gods moment. Lately I've been seeing more and more when someone catches the ball a parent will send a kid over to collect their prize. Everyone boos the person who caught the ball for not giving it to the kid. The person who caught the ball has likely been waiting since they were that kid's age to catch one and now they have an entire section if not stadium bullying them to give it to some little kid that will have 0 appreciation for it because they just did what their parents told them and went and asked for it.

Obviously if I ever catch a ball I will break it to the kid that inevitably gets sent over gently that no, I will not give them the ball AND I will take my boos. But to the parents who send their sex trophy over to collect something that they aren't entitled to, you are horrible parents/people and I don't feel bad that your kid is sad now, it's your fault.

I never understood why nursing homes (pre pandemic) were always such an awful thing.

My bfs grandma would get up an wander around the neighborhood and forget where she was. She would trash the house. She would need to be bathed and fed by others because she couldn’t function. His aunt had to quit her job to look after her, all while having kids of her own. What mother would want that for their children?? What person would want their own health and safety in the hands of someone who is trying to juggle their own lives and children and work instead of a person who takes care of others as their chosen career?

There is a HUGE difference between changing a 6 month old’s diaper and an 80 year old’s. And imo there is a HUGE difference between having a medical professional see you naked and clean you than your grown kids seeing you naked and cleaning you.

I would not want my children to remember me as an invalid who needed s*it wiped away from their vagina because of diapers.

As soon as a person is unable to function alone, they should be put in professional care and NOT be shamed for that decision.

To those who do, whether by choice or not, give birth to handicapped children, you have my deepest respect and I don't doubt that parents will do anything in their power to provide the best life for their children and love them the way they are, but i don't think it's wrong to assume that such a life is more emotionally taxing than raising healthy children. As previously mentioned these people often exhibit a love for life most of us couldn't compare to.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts You were the adult when they were a child. If their first instinct, as soon as they get out from under your thumb, is to completely ignore you forever, you need to own the fact that you messed up as a parent at several, consistent, points along the road throughout your child's upbringing. They hate you for a good reason, and they're probably better off without you in their lives.

There are a number of forms of abuse that range from over-parenting, to neglect, over-discipline to straight up negative enabling behavior.

I have friends who don't talk to their parents because the strictness was so suffocating, and friends who don't talk to their parents because they were lazy bums who never took an interest in their child's life. There are tons of other reasons kids abandon relationships with their folks, but the one thing that stays true through all of these experiences for me is that it's always the parents fault.

This is mostly about relationships that end as soon as the kid leaves the house, not necessarily relationships that break down during adulthood, although the same reasoning could be applied in a lot of these cases too.

Got a call from the school saying my son punched a girl in his class. I was mad and ready to ground him when he got home when it occurred to me that I should ask why he hit her. The principal told me that the little girl pushed him and took his lunch money and continued to take her folder and smack him with it when he got fed up and punched her in the shoulder. Now, if they knew that the little girl had done all this and was continuing to do it, they should have intervened. They didn't so my son defended himself. Not in trouble.

When I told the principal that it seemed justified, she told me that I shouldn't make it seem okay to hit little girls. I let her know that my children know that it's not okay to hit anybody. But that it's also not okay to stand there and just be hit either. It's totally okay to defend yourself against anybody and everybody that is attacking you.

How it has to be to maintain quality for everyone. What is the point in living? This is existential crisis material. Thanks for reading.

tl;dr - People think I’m crazy for thinking working 1/3rd of your life is crazy.

They are usually fighting against an army that were once financed and backed by their government anyway. And if that war is won, the side the soldiers fought for, risked their lives for, could easily become the new enemy and they end up going back and fighting them again. It's pointless.

If true gender equality comes to fruition, then what it will mean is that people will stop giving a f*ck about one another's gender. Everyone would have equal opportunity, treatment, respect and appreciation, while being judged based on character, ability, personality and other proper grounds based on the situation. There would be no need for gender-based celebrations, since all related hurdles would have already been crossed.

What will be celebrated though, is mankind coming one step closer to overall human equality.

And real math is seldom about memorization. I heard a friend describe math as "the most useful game humanity has ever created" and I have to say I agree with that. Math is like a game, it's a playground where you try to extrapolate truths from a set of rules. I will now spend the rest of this post explaining parts of math that are ignored in schools but are super interesting to me.

It’s crazy to me how in this day and age we advocate for women’s mental health, we advocate for people to be understanding of women’s needs. But i noticed with the whole Will smith debacle (His wife jada was sleeping with someone while they were still married but taking a break) anyways in the video he looks really sad and like he’d been crying - might’ve just been tired but nevertheless, the internet wouldn’t stop with the jokes. If the shoe were on the other foot it would be people banding together calling others insensitive. I know that it’s popular right now to say “men are trash” and i just think if people went around saying “women are trash” everyone would be up in arms. We should be advocating for good mental health for ALL people. I know statistically speaking men commit more crimes and stuff like that, and it’s more of a reason to lift men up and advocate for their mental health.

This is something I seriously want people's opinions on. I saw a post of Leo DiCaprio taking a selfie with a young fangirl (looked like 12yo or something) at the US Open and just sitting there chatting to her. The first comment I see is "Idk this makes me uncomfortable"

I can't tell you how much it pissed me off. Someone in my eyes doing something so fu**ing cool as giving a fan the time of day and chatting to them can INSTANTLY be associated with pedophilia. It makes me sick. And then we call out celebrities when they don't want to take a selfie with us?

I love kids. I love listening to them, I love escaping reality with them, I love teaching them, I love watching them grow. How does someone see that and think "Well then you must love having sex with them too"

How fu**ing disturbed are you as a person for your mind to take that route? In this picture Leo isn't touching the girl, he's not sniffing the girl or doing some other creepy ass s*it. How is talking to a young person instantly associated with pedophilia?

We desperately need to change this attitude, because the people protecting and making young kids feel comfortable are being shamed and wrongfully accused of pedophilia.

By all means, at all times be wary. But don't just jump to pedophilia. That is f**ked up and we need to change that mindset.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts It is so frustrating to shop on Amazon with the Chinese sellers and manufacturers on the site.

The fake reviews are overwhelming (think 50-90% fake reviews on FakeSpot or ReviewMeta), plus the products are cheap and break and when you go back to the manufacturer, most of them don't exist after 1-2 years. I would assume it's the same group of people making crappy merchandise and cycling their names over and over again and buying the same fake reviews.

Beyond this, I'm always worried that they've put some pollutant or carcinogen into the manufacturing process because their regulations are so lax. The examples in the media are countless--toothpaste with diethylene glycol, pet food that kills our dogs and cats, toys with lead paint, make up with lead, beryllium, bacterial contamination, cheap hardware that self destructs after a year.

And it can be so hard to tell because they often manufacture for companies like Mattel and Nestle so you think you're getting American or European.

This has been going on for decades and we just turn a blind eye to it because they're cheaper. Business ethics wise, they're about where the US was in the 1920s. This is an example of how capitalism can result in deadly consequences without strong governmental regulation.

Please feel free to downvote me into oblivion, whatever, I don't care, I'm just sick of the nonsense.

Swimming is like walking, but for water. It's part of the few basic means of movement we, humans, have at our disposal, along with running, crawling and climbing. Not knowing how to swim puts you at a HUGE disadvantage, as you pretty much can't avoid water. Any mildly interesting / fun activity might turn into a potentially lethal one, should you not know how to swim. Going fishing? Better not fall into the water... It's like permadeath for video games: instead of ending up wet, and maybe slightly (or very) cold, you just friggin' die if you fall into deep water. I know, swimmers can drown too, but if you can't swim, you're guaranteed to have to be rescued.

On another note, it's so weird to see healthy people being incapable of performing the most basic human activities: I've seen grown men injure themselves trying to climb over a 3 feet fence (not drunk), women twisting their ankles and tearing tendons when running towards a bus stop, etc. Now, I'm not saying that everybody needs to be a world-class climber like Adam Ondra or swimmer, like Michael Phelps. But learning how to... I don't know, not die when navigating anything but flat terrain seems like it should be part of being a grown human.

This way anyone falsely accused does not get their name dragged through the sand until they have been convicted. We have made it too easy to destroy people's lives on false accusations. I believe protecting the innocent is just as important as prosecuting the guilty. The only downside would be if someone had evidence on the accused, but this could also be found as a part of the investigation process.

So maybe a better definition if the initial hearing is not dismissed and the judge wants to pursue the case further. I just don't think its fair to lose your job over something that's dismissed in 5 minutes in court, because that's all someone with a false accusation wants.

When browsing on some shady websites that aren't centered around pornography, I'm sure we've all had porn ads with either partial or full nudity pop up out of nowhere or on the sidebar. Just because you're on a website that requires 18 plus does not mean that it should be perfectly fine to show porn without the consent of the viewer. For example on Spotify I don't listen to any sexual content or sexual podcasts, however I get recommended a show called "hentai with senpai," and I have to deal with an extraordinarily sexualized hentai face on my home screen. I'm not even the only person who deals with that specific show showing up on their home screen unsolicited. So to reiterate, if exposing yourself to someone without their consent, even if they're 18 years old or up, is a crime, then it should also be a crime to show nude or sexual contents to people in pop up ads without their consent.

Random opinion I just thought about from past experiences. By this I don't mean absolutely freezing/sizzling climates, I just mean from mildly warmer/colder weather than normal. I've seen myself be really stressed during warmer weather, with no real way to cool myself at all. On the other hand, with colder climates, it's really easy to cool yourself down; get under a warm blanket, get a hot drink and just vibe there I guess. It's really comforting too, probably one of the best feelings ever.

Though this doesn't really make sense if you're outdoors and not inside, it's technically inside I'm talking about. Being outside is a whole different story, though it's technically the same answer on that side in my opinion.

So in conclusion; I don't like going outside because it's too warm.

This idea of "equals" would also allow readers to see depth and traits in a character they may not have seen before just by reading the main character's perspective.

Social media was introduced as a way to communicate with friends or classmates and other strangers. Now, it seems that social media is one of the worst things ever. Twitter has become a prime place for lots of beef and drama and other nonsensical conversations. Tiktok really is just for people to simp over hot girls doing dances. Instagram is where everyone likes to post their whole life story, and these people always have problems with stalkers and other complications with the lack of privacy. I could go on but I'm really over it. Social media will never be the same and this really sickens me because there's a lot of good on twitter and instagram, but these platforms get completely drowned out by all the bad.

That's right. Salt and vinegar are the superior chip. Sour cream & onion chips just have an overly sweet yet salty taste that is just overwhelmingly disgusting. Barbecue chips leave your mouth feeling dry and bitter because of the awful taste. Salt and vinegar are just a perfect combination of flavors that is just overall better than other chips

I'm British, from a small town in the middle of England, nobody EVER says "Y'all" here and i don't get why.

When i first heard the word i thought it was stupid, but the older i get the more and more i realise how much i would easily use "Y'all" in every day life.

I'm a manager in my office so i often have to refer to multiple people at a time, "You all" or "You lot" or "All of you" is fine for now but can come off quite harsh, i've now rotated "Y'all" into the mix and it just FITS so well. Its soft, comes out friendly. Everyone knows what i mean, it rolls off the tongue nicely and i get to put that sweet southern accent on when i say it.

I think we should all adapt to it because honestly, it works.

The internet (unless you are playing a game where you can pick the server location) is a worldwide thing, that isn't based in one location. It can be used by anybody. Most people on the internet aren't even from the US.

I think a good example of this is the show Riverdale. If you don’t know, it’s a show using the characters of Archie comics in a teen murder drama ish show. In that show their lives are about whatever big mystery is going on, their relationships, and their friends. The characters in the show are high-school age (16 I believe) but a majority of the cast are actors in their mid-twenties (one actor is almost 29).

In the show, or as much as I’ve seen, being an actual high school student occupies very little of the character’s lives and the aspects of high school we do see the characters participate it could more or less be translated into a college setting. So why even make them high school students? I know to reach a youth audience and whatever but seeing how a lot of this shows content displays varied sexual relationships between characters, I feel like it’s a bit weird seeing all these high school age relationships so graphically being acted by much older people.

And I’m realizing now that Riverdale isn’t the best example (a plot point of season 1 is an inappropriate teacher student relationship) but there are a lot of shows like this out. I think Hollywood should stop fetishizing high school sexual relationships when they really don’t have to. My issue with it isn’t so much the displays of sex, more that the show creators are leaning so heavily into all the displays of sex of people who are supposed to be minors. Gives a weird voyeurism vibe. If the plot allows, just make the setting college, it would even make more sense with the plots sometimes.

TLDR: I have no issue with sex being a plot point in teen-oriented television but the mentality of “We have 27 year olds playing 16 year olds so let’s shoot this soft core porn scene because we can 😎” is very problematic and approaching borderline pedophilic

Until this year, I thought of China just as the closest contender for America’s heavyweight superpower belt, especially in the next couple decades. Recently, however, after reading article after article about the brazen systematic detainment, and torture of a conservative 1.5 million people from a single ethnic group I’m getting serious fascist Germany vibes.

At least the United States hides its ethnic mass incarceration under the veneer of mandatory minimum sentencing laws (I’m kidding, this is not the same thing, obviously)

One article published just today presented evidence that the Chinese government had been collecting involuntary samples of DNA in order to map faces. Are you f**king kidding?

Also disturbing has been China’s active use of existing technology to repress dissent in Hong Kong.

China has repeatedly demonstrated they have no qualms about shoving racial minorities into concentration camps, and a brutal capacity to eliminate opposition. I don’t see any reason why China will not continue to get worse in these regards. It seems that if any country is soon to reach ww2 Germany levels of power and fascism it will definitely be China.

I hate hearing people say, "oh, he bought a Corvette because he's balding and needs to feel younger." No. No no no no NO. As someone who's never earned much money because I made the spectacular decision to do what I love rather than what was lucrative, I'm finally in a position in my late 30s where I can actually save up to buy my dream car.

I get it if cars aren't important to you. I get it if you dislike the impact they have on the environment. I get it if you think sports cars are too expensive and a hassle. I get it if you see a forty something guy in a BMW M3 and assume he's compensating for something. But realize that automotive enthusiasm is a huge part of life for a lot of people, and can often be the biggest connection they have to family members or friends.

As a car enthusiast, I look forward to increased electrification for a lower carbon footprint (and ridiculous torque for better acceleration). I accept that my budget will have to increase for a cool exotic car and decrease for other pursuits. It's worth it to me. Just like you might enjoy collecting stamps or having a closet full of nice clothes. It's also the first thing I talk about when I call my dad since he used to race cars and motorcycles in the 70s. We bond over cars and car news.

So the next time you see some guy with graying temples and a widow's peak driving a Ferrari, understand it might be the realization of a dream from childhood and try to, you know, not crap on that dream because it's not YOUR dream.

Our $250 range microwave broke. Repair guy came out and cracked it open and said it was a bad door switch. He wanted $389 to fix it. NFW. Besides, he already pointed out the bad switch, so I figure, how hard can it be.

I take out the switch, and jot down the four digit alpha numeric code on it. I go to a locally owned appliance parts distributor. The lady at the counter was very nice, but said that number means nothing to her or her computer. She says she needs more information. I tell her the make and we kind of come up something similar that will (probably) work. But... it’s not in stock and they are moving their warehouse, so two weeks minimum. I ask for suggestions, and she gives the name of three other places in town.

I call those places. The first two are total assholes to me. Very condescending, and telling me I need the model number. Again, the four digit code means nothing to them. I give what’s in the confirmation email from Sears. Not enough. Kenmore doesn’t manufacture their own goods. She needs to know the manufacturer. I’m not at home. I’m sitting in my truck on the phone. Second call goes just like the first. Treated me like a child.

At this point I go home, get the info on the manufacturer, and call the third place. Very nice. They don’t have it, but can get it that afternoon. For the low low price of $40.

I can’t get there in the afternoon, and $40 seems outrageous for a door switch.

I take a last ditch effort on Amazon. I put in only the four digit code that nobody could work with at four different distributors.

158 sellers. Most expensive one was $9. It will be here tomorrow.

KW3A. Look it up yourself.

Unless you like drinking bitter dark liquid. And if you don't, you add milk or creamer, which just makes it slightly bitter but still not good. And for those who add sugar, it gets too sweet for there to be a real taste.

So I don't understand. I will have the occasional cup in a group setting or at my mom's, but I can honestly say I've never had a cup of coffee and said "Oh this one is actually good."

People say if you buy super expensive ones, there's a massive difference, but I don't see myself making that investment, nor knowing anyone else who would in order to try theirs. It's just not good, man.

Again, it smells amazing. But can coffee lovers just admit they drink it for the poop regulation and caffeine energy boost? This is a safe space.

I’ve called them myself, spoke to countless other individuals about there first hand experiences, and read the stories. Most of the time the suicide hotline ends up doing more harm then good. They have been known to hang up on people in crisis, prematurely call the police on their callers, and use very scripted methods that usually don’t help. I’ve brought this up to multiple mental health professionals and they know the line sucks but they still send it out. It’s over glorified so people can feel like they are making a difference or helping when in reality they are recommending something that does more harm them good.

It may be just the nostalgia talking, but I very much liked the "quality" of the content you could find on the internet back in the day, when the majority was created by people who had real jobs (or schools) and could only create content in their spare time. And I'm not talking only about YouTube videos, but also about general blogs and more "specialized" sites.

I'm not 100% sure what it is, but to me it's either that the content was not so much money-driven and people could fully express themselves without caring for the "brand" or "monetization" or what not, or that they were much more connected to the everyday issues of everyday people.

I'm also not saying there are no good content creators right now, or that all of them are disconnected from the reality, but it's kind of sad that it's not the norm anymore.

I have quite a few unpopular opinions... heres my best one: Men should not ever be shamed for liking dancing. For some reason, dancing is seen as a "girls" thing and most choreographers put dance moves that are "for girls" in their dances. Bullsh*t. Boys can dance if they want to, and if it makes them happy, then go for it! I watch dance routines on YouTube and just watched a group of men dance to "RPG" and WOW they were amazing. I'm a girl and I couldn;t dance to save my life. STOP BEING RUDE TO MEN FOR DANCING FOR GODS SAKE

I saw a lot of "my opinion should be common opinion" and a lot of "my opinion of a country's residents is based off of what I saw in a movie or t.v. show, therefore it is FACT". Kinda pissed me off.

Unpopular: Gay rights and lgbtqi+ are very different. They should go separate ways and drop the lgb.

That’s unpopular. Therefore shouldn’t be downvoted. Pandas are kind of idiots.

Go play with your toys, kid. You can’t even spell revolution yet. I’ll give it to you though, social media is garbage as a whole.

It's not canceling. It's ignoring. There is a difference. They're not out of existence, simply removed from awareness due to personal preferences.

Yes, it’s totally unfair that Elizabeth from Knoxville, Tennessee got maced. She was just storming the Capitol! It was a revolution! (For those who don’t know what I’m referencing, look it up on YouTube. It was hilarious.)

That is unpopular. But you’re right in a way. People should cancel Republicans before they even speak.

"unpopular opinions" This entire post is just chock-full of popular opinions. If you're going to take the most upvoted comments, they're going to be popular.

Yeah I gave up. They were all popular opinions and all the comments are “yes I so agree! Here’s a long explanation of why!” And then we can’t even vote down the popular ones for some reason.

on the subreddit, they ask you to upvote posts you don't agree with, so theoretically it's the unpopular 'unpopular opinions' getting the most votes.

They are debatable opinions that’s what makes them unpopular

I can't either. Maybe it has to do with the whole "unpopular opinion" thing?

I've noticed if an article here has been on here for a amount of time, or perhaps surpassed the voting amount (just a guess) then you can't vote. This is far from the first one I've encountered.

This article (or whatever you call it), should be flipped on its head, so that the most unpopular opinions came first. Most of the (upper) entries seems in fact to be popular opinions.

You can’t even vote on the items in this list. It’s just a sounding board for people to agree with each other lol

A college degree is NOT the answer for everyone. Many, many kids would be better off going to a trade school. Colleges are dispensing so many degrees that the degrees have lost most of their value.

Unpopular opinion: If someone cheats on their partner while in a long term relationship, they are the only one to blame for why thier relationship maybe isn't great.
