2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

It almost always means "I don't like to have to defend my lack of morals/humanity" but since they feel found out they feel pressured to lie about it to keep up appearances.
One of the most memorable examples of bravery I've witnessed was my Italian coworker who straightened his back and said with firm conviction that he enjoys pineapple on pizza.
At least he died looking good.
"Racism good?"
The first one that comes to mind is the one where fat people should stop eating fast food.
Because we live in a country full of food deserts where the only option is fast food.

Well I quoted "we need a new plague" for years until it finally happened. Didn't thin the herd as much as it could have.
Everyone wants a plague, but nobody wants to be the plaguee
When the Westerner complains about "excess people", they never mean white people, lol.

Gravity Falls was kinda okay. I feel like it had more potential with how fun the characters were but then again it's a Disney cartoon so there's limitations

I dunno. But my personal most boring unpopular opinion is that people care too much about "proper grammar" and shit, especially online. Originally they were all made to be guidelines, not rules; even capital letters were optional. Get creative with it. Fuck the rules… use ellipses, start with prepositions, have tiny or longer sentences, make it more interesting to read. Otherwise everything reads like it was written by ChatGPT

Shawshank Redemption is not a very good movie.
Folks shouldn't wall on grass. It kills it eventually if too many do.
Lawn grass is an invasive species in the Americas and should be removed whenever possible
Giving everyone an equal vote is bad.
"Democracy is government of the people, by the people, and for the people... But the people are retarded."
The issue is who decides on what vote everyone gets? I assume the idea is that experts should decide? But there plenty of "experts" with qualifications that I wouldn't want to make decisions.
Taken to the extreme this would basically be Plato's philosopher king, which sounds nice in theory, but I don't see working in practice.
Equal vote might be bad, but it's the lesser evil in practice.
To throw in my unpopular opinion (not sure if it qualifies as boring or not). There should be no age requirement for voting (in that sense it's already the case that not everyone has an equal vote because children do not have one).
Pineapple on pizza is indicative of personality, just one that makes bad decisions on the part of the entire group.
