So many answers for strong opinions on "do what you like".
A not-strong opinion is something like: ground pepper or cracked pepper? I recognize a difference, and I'd opt for cracked, but I really don't have an opinion.

what other people eat
i cannot imagine being so tedious that i give a shit that some rando likes to put dr pepper in their mayonnaise or whatever
Music fidelity, as long as I can hear it, idgaf about the quality of the speakers.
Usually about 25 of the 30 questions in the voting adviser. I don't care if some party wants to take budget from primary schools and stick it in kindergartens instead or if we fund the F35 or whatever. I'm not a military plane expert nor work in educational finance but these are literally the questions they select to use as basis for your vote. Dudes, ask an expert! They'll probably tell you "don't know, but we can do a scale study to see which way works better"
Whatever topic I know has a reasonable expectation of making more people sustainably happy is what I click, and then usually it tells me I haven't clicked enough answers for it to produce voting advice...
Most 'current hot topics' are either unknowable with current information, or just wholly irrelevant to bigger problems like when we're going to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions and stop discriminating people
Sales and discounts and haggling. People go nuts whenever something is cheap or queue up for free give aways and such.
I only buy stuff when I need it and I will gladly pay full price for something. Things get too cheap you know. I don't take free stuff, because it's just more garbage or takes up space.
This is not a strong opinion. Of course I like to pay less or get free stuff, but only if I need those things. That's what frugal means to me. I get that some people think of it in a different way of optimizing or gathering garbage for craiglist or whatever. It's just not for me.
Literally any topic on which I have little to no knowledge. I can't have an opinion on a topic I barely know exists.

People putting pineapple on their pizza.
Whatever man. Some people like opera music. Some people like golden showers. And some people like putting pineapple on their pizza. Can't we all just get along?
Other people's lives. I don't get why how other people live bother people. If they like the same sex, go for it. If they like to dress up as a goat on the weekend? Ok, cool. It's your life, do what you want with it.
I mean, yes, but I'd add the qualifier "so long as it doesn't impact others". If you want to dump your trash in a communal area, it's imo a bit too easy to say that it's a free country and who am I to tell you not to do that. Maybe this sounds too obvious to spell out (to me it would have until recently) but I recently met two persons in unrelated places who really felt that nobody should tell them what to do because they didn't tell anyone else what to do either. As if we don't all share resources on this planet
Which way to install a roll of TP. My natural preference is other than that of my family, so I shrug and do it their way. No big deal.
People's taste in food. Like pinapple on 0zza? Cool, like ketchup on porkchops? Ok. Don't like spicey foods? All good.
Same for me. Once I attended a chocolate workshop with this guy who was like a chocolate expert/connoisseur, and he started by saying "The best chocolate is the one you like."

i genuinely dont care about gender at all. I'll fight tooth and nail for my trans brothers and sisters but in a perfect world I'd never think about it even a little
I'm the same. I have to be careful how I phrase things because it can sound transphobic if like someone asks you what you are and you just say "Well I have x genitals so just go with that I guess?" because you just don't care. Like call me whatever you want. want me to wear a certain type of clothing because of some social convention? Sure idc. I'll wear a dress, or a suit. Don't care. I just don't want to pay for them. I 100% support anyone doing anything they want with their gender. Let me know what you want to be called, and remind me if I slip up because I don't even remember peoples names most of the time, but I'll say what you want me to say. But for me personally? You can call me anything you want. He, Her, They, It, Dumbass, Tankie, .ml, shut the fuck up, etc It don't bother me one bit.
Sports? I think it's a tribalistic waste of time and money, but people are allowed to like what they like.
That kinda sounds like an opinion
But not a strong opinion.
waste of time and money
strong enough
Is it? Lot of stuff is a waste of time and money if you don't care for it. It doesn't mean you have a strong opinion about it. Like it could just mean you'd never spend your own time and money on it, but other people can if they want to. Since every recreational thing is a waste of time and money to someone who doesn't like it.
Precisely.
Celebrity gossip. I find it really difficult to care about what some celebrity said about something.
wait this seems like a strong opinion that celebrity gossip isn't interesting. wouldn't the neutral position here be that you would like to know what's going on with your fave celebs but don't go out of your way?
Pineapple on pizza.
I think people should just eat what they enjoy.
For me personally, I don't like it. However, I do still have a strong opinion on it. I think it's a fantastic flavor combination! It's a nice combination of salty, sweet, and savory. If a professional chef were making a pizza, and they had never heard of one before, something like the Hawaiian pizza is what I'd expect them to make. I don't really like pineapple though, so it's not for me.
Favorite color, book, movie, etc.
I arbitrarily decided green is my favorite color just so I could answer icebreakers without looking like a personality-less weirdo. But really, I don't care and don't really understand having a "favorite".
Books, movies, other medias, I understand a bit more but still don't have any of my own. I rarely re-read or re-watch anything. And the things I do re-watch (mostly Halloween or Christmas season stuff) aren't my favorite overall, just for the applicable season. I can't recall the last book I re-read.
I like to say my favorite color is UV, because I quite enjoy playing with UV LED keychain lights and such.
Do you customize your OS of choice in any way? If so, do you find some color palettes are even slightly more enjoyable than others? If so, dial that slight enjoyment up a few factors and thatβs what having a favorite color is like.
Trans people in sports. I wish they could all have the rights everyone else has, but a 200lb person beating the shit out of someone half their weight is crazy and unfair. maybe we are too focused on sports as achievement.
I don't see what this has to do with trans people? As if people of the same sex at birth can't end up with wildly different weights as well? Like a 200lbs woman beating the shit out of a 100lbs woman wouldn't be allowed in any sport. So why would it suddenly be allowed if the 200lbs woman is trans? Also, "unfair" gets me here. Sports aren't fucking fair! That's the entire point. It's a physical competition where some people have an inherent advantage due to genetics. Trans people existing doesn't change that, and doesn't make it any less fair. This just reeks of you seeing all these "no men in womens sports" arguments and not taking the time to actually examine if those arguments are valid or not.
you know there are weight classes right?
Which sport does that happen in?
Jews
The weather - I hardly ever check the forecast, I just take it as it comes. LGTBQ people/toilets/discussions - just the mention makes me fall asleep, they should just do what they want.

What goes on a hotdog. I've had people yell (literally voices raised vein popping yell) at me for adding anything other than mustard. I can't imagine caring that much about what other people put on their hotdog. I'm gonna add relish, sauerkraut, and ketchup thanks, you add just your mustard. Whatever.

music consumption. what music you should listen to, how you find music, how much variety you should incorporate, what order to listen to music in, in what format, etc. for me, music is more of an auditory stim. I play the same song over and over. it's not really like, an art form that I am heavily invested in or relate to.
Poetry is the most okay form of literature.
