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/

But you can make cheese out of it and cheese is life.

Cheese is death

You know you've succeeded with a truly unpopular opinion when you get more downvotes on Unpopular Opinion while no one is complaining that it is a popular opinion.

Diets are pretty intrinsic to how people live. This is the equivalent of an edgey atheist teenager shitting on Christianity as an unpopular opinion.

[–] amzd@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Down playing your choice to kill as a diet is pretty dystopian

Are you suggesting we start keeping human women on farms to milk them? Do you really want to go to the store and buy a bottle of breast milk to pour over your cereal?

I have nipples. Will you milk me?

Ethics tip: If something feels pretty fucked up when doing it to a human it’s probably safe to assume you shouldn’t do that to a non-human animal

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yo what that was your first thought instead of rice milk, oat milk, coconut milk, almond milk or just not eating cereal. You are a big boy, you'll be alright without baby milk.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Can’t I just go to the neighbors?

[–] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Soy milk is better alternative. If you don't like the taste, try coconut milk, oat milk, almond milk, cashew milk, etc.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If I use milk in anything it's usually oat milk, but I still like things like cheese and ice cream sometimes

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

There are vegan versions of those too, they're just less common.

Ice cream alternatives are actually really good now.

Fake cheese is still foul.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sometimes I get the coconut milk ice cream. It tastes good but it's definitely not the same, so I go back and forth

A truly unpopular opinion, congratulations

And at some point in the future, it will be truly popular! 😁

Cows, like we have bred, should not exist in the first place. Its a cruelty to have such big udders and while cows can live up to 15 years most milk cows will live to the age of 5-6 because they are used like bio-machines, getting bred and sucked dry all through their short, miserable lives. "But dairy cows can be happy". Sure man, just like the people in the mines and sweatshops...

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The lactose intolerant agree with you

[–] stiephel@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's too late!

*sound of black hole sucking you up*

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Lactaid brand milk work?

[–] Talaraine@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Factory farming sucks and should be abolished.

That being said, in ancient times they gave us milk and we gave them grain during winter. Contracts can always be revisited, but don't act like this was entirely one sided.

I guess you haven't seen a cow in your life.

Cows need to be milked to stay healthy, because they will still produce milk after her calf is weaned.

[–] amzd@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

They don’t need to be impregnated in a rape rack though
