If you meet someone and they happen to like the same musicians as you do, the two of you will probably have a nice conversation. But if they turn out to despise the ones you also can't stand, you've probably found a new friend. Nothing brings people together tighter than shared antipathy.
Just a few days ago, Redditor u/turrxxr decided to find out what helps us to relate to one another and asked the following question: "What is a thing that is universally hated by all people?" And everyone immediately started sending in their answers. From traffic to wet socks, here are those that have got the most upvotes!

Isaac Harvey 3 years ago
I was diagnosed with childhood brain cancer just over 8 years ago, less than a month before my 10th birthday. 15 months of chemotherapy, from August 2017 to November 2018, was bad enough. It gets worse: the scar tissue left over from my first surgeries led to my epilepsy diagnosis in May 2020. For some perspective on what I have to deal with now, look up the effects of lamictal and lamotrigine. And I still need MRIs, currently every three months.

Somebody told me that big pharma already has a cure for cancer but it won't be as profitable as selling the anti-cancer treatments currently available. For that reason, they're keeping it under wraps. I really hope that isn't true but knowing what we know about big pharma makes it entirely possible.
Vorknkx 3 years ago (edited)
No, it's not possible. The very idea of a "cure for cancer" is wrong because cancer is not just one specific illness that has one specific cure. Finding a cure for cancer is more like finding a million cures for a million different illnesses... this is why it's so hard to "find" it.

Rub a little bit of vegetable oil or butter on the remaining part and it will slowly soften the glue. Eventually the glue will be soft enough to rub off. There are stronger products available, but they can eat through paint. If you have no oil available, can't wait, and you have oily skin handy, even that oil will work.

Paweł Duda 3 years ago
Solution: reduce heating power of microwave by 30%, double the time. Microwaves heat only about 2cm inside food, rest is a heat transfer inside, and that takes time. Most people set those on max power on all situations and think that this will solve problem. It won't.

Or somehow even worse, they actually take the bag out of the can, tie it up and leave it right in the middle of the kitchen floor. I hate my life..

The juxtaposition of the words "feel" and "think". The sentence "Im very angry because I feel this is wrong". Feel is used to describe emotion: anger, happiness, sadness, fear. Or it is used to describe a physical sensation: The injury to my arm feels painful, this feels hot to touch. "Think" gives an opinion about something or a situation. Or thoughts that are going through your brain. A thought process. The sentence is not "Im very angry because I FEEL this is wrong" it's rather "I FEEL very angry about this because I THINK it is wrong". It seems we are unable to get over the whole 🎼🎶feelings🎵 movement (thank you Oprah) and simply say what we THINK. At least that's what I think about it.
