Some people like to keep it low-key. Others are eager to spark some open-ended conversations. The remaining love diving deep into the burning zone where statements uttered are so controversial they get the discussion sizzling in no time.
And what for? Let’s say if you have a burning unpopular opinion, you’d know why. And there’s a safe corner of the internet known as the UnpopularOpinion subreddit that has had the most disputable points of view flowing since 2012. By disputable, I mean things like water with cereal is better, and clapping for healthcare workers who are only doing their job is cringy.
So let’s see what the community of a whopping 1.9M members is living for right below, and be sure to hit us in the comments in case you have an opinionated bomb to drop that will likely stir some reactions.
#1 It Should Be Illegal For A Company To List An Entry Level Job As Requiring 3-5 Years Experience, The Very Definition Of An Entry Level Job Is No Experience Needed
Graduates and school leavers already have an extremely hard time finding work in todays economy, most of which are forced to do jobs that had nothing to do with their fields because companies are too lazy to train and too cheap to offer training, they always want some other company to train them. Also if you require 3-5 years experience then the salary of those jobs should be considerably higher and NOT the basic entry level salary, they just want more for less. So long as your qualifications meet the required job they should be considered.

#2 One Of The Biggest Failings Of Modern Education Is Managing To Convince A Whole Generation That Wikipedia Is An Unreliable Source
Wikipedia is a practically unlimited source of free knowledge which is constantly being monitored by an army of nerds.The fact that we do not have to pay for access is a miracle.
(Near enough) every article has a full and reliable list of references at the bottom.
I understand that students should be encouraged use the references at the bottom for true research but this is not taught. Students are simply told ‘Stay away from Wikipedia, anyone can change it, it’s completely unreliable’.

#3 It Doesn't Matter How Much You Like His Music, Tekashi 69 Slept With A 13 Year Old And By Listening To His Music You Are Lining The Pockets Of A Rapist
No music is worth actively giving a rapist money no matter how much you like his songs. I can't understand the logic of continuing to support an artist that did something so terrible. He admitted to it in a court of law, how people still support this man is beyond me.

#4 If You Don't Want To Donate Your Organs After You Die; You Shouldn't Be Allowed To Receive Donated Organs
The only exception is if you cannot donate an organ for medical reasons, I've heard people say that they would accept a donated organ (but they wouldn't be happy to donate one) which is the height of selfishness in my opinion, letting people die so that a dead religious person can keep their organs (which will be cremated or buried) is insane.

#5 When I’m Old And Unable To Care For Myself, I Want To Be Taken Care Of By Professionals, Not Burden My Children Who Will Have Their Own Families To Care For
Why on earth would ANY adult want to have their ass wiped by their children? I can think of nothing more humiliating or dehumanizing.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.

#6 Dear Parents Whose Adult Children Don't Talk To Them - It's Always Your Fault
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.

#7 Hiring A Stripper Before The Day Of Your Supposed To Be Married To The Love Of Your Life Is Disgusting, And Extremely Weird
Now if you plan on having an open relationship, I don’t care, and disregard my title, but so many monogamous couples see this an opportunity to get their d**k wet one last time or a hot nude man to strip for them. Just saying this is unpopular, because it was on the front page of a relationship. I always thought my Eastern (cannot bring up which one because Bot thinks I’m racist) Wedding Traditions were unnecessarily long and padded out, but it’s better then hiring an escort to pleasure you on the last day your “single”. Why get married if you’re going to miss the life of casual hookups that much?

#8 Nobody Should Have To Work 1/3rd Of Their Lives, For Over 40 Years, To Retire At ~60 Just To Finish Off Whatever Is Left Of Their Lives
As of right now I am 18 years old and looking into the future is depressing. I figure I’m gonna have to work 8 hours a day, sleep 8 hours a day and then have 8 hours a day to myself. This does not include things like getting ready for work, commute or shopping/cooking. At the end of the day I’m only going to have a few hours to do what I want... for over 40 years. It seems like my entire life is just preparing me to follow directions and then putting me into a factory where I’m a brick in a wall (reference intended). When I tell other people this, I get a response along the lines of: “That’s what everyone has to do,” or “That’s how its always been.” Why? Even if it is how life works. 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.

#9 News Should Be A Dry Recitation Of Facts. If It Isn't, Then It's An Opinion Intended To Stir Your Emotions Into Clouding Your Judgement
It's so hard to find a news outlet that will just present the information without spin. Without trying to push you one way or another. I just want to know what happened so I can decide whether I like it or not. Why is that so hard to find? Quit telling me what to think.

#10 If Will Smith Had Cheated On Jada The Internet Would Crucify Him, But Since It Was The Other Way Around People Are Making Fun Of Him
It is disgusting. If Will had cheated on Jada the entire internet would turn on him and crucify him. Except because he is a man he is the one being mocked and memed.Firstly, we don't have a reason to be involved in their relationship, and if they choose to make it work then good on them.
However, that doesn't mean Jada should be proud of her actions. She abused the trust of a great man. I'm kinda surprised the internet isn't backing Will on this to be honest.

#11 If Stealthing (Non-Consensual Removal Of A Condom) Is Rape, So Should Lying About Being On Birth Control
Stealthing was rather prominent in the news not too long ago (over here in the UK),our laws cause this to be classified as rape.
If someone female lies about using birth control, they should face prosecution.
Furthermore, any child should not be the financial responsibility of the father.

#12 I Highly Respect Millennials That Walk Out Of Jobs Or Any Inconvenience In Life
As a man in my late 50s I wish I had the courage to walk off a job when I was younger. After starting my own business and spending years in upper management I have to say I love millennials and think they will change the work place for the better. Seeing a 22 college grad say that's not my job and not in my job description always gave me a envy boner, watching a middle manager retort with if you don't like the job leave and having a millennial fire back I'll send out 100 apps on indeed tonight and have a new one tommorow bye! Wanna know what that makes me do? Think hard about how my employees are treated and how well they are paid because on today's day and age my job is just as replaceable as they are. Keep ghosting and walking away my young friends I get it!

#13 I’m So Freaking Tired Of Being Forced To Care About Everything All At Once
I’m just one guy. I try to be a good person; I try to treat everyone equally; I try to be kind and compassionate; I try to be a force of good.But I’m just one guy. I have problems of my own. I have a life of my own. I shouldn’t be expected to constantly wade through the s*it that is the political and societal hellscape of 2020. I’m not a racist because you don’t think I’m angry enough. I’m not uneducated because I don’t pour through hours of toxic political commentary. I’m not privileged for wanting to distance myself from hatred.
I’m so sick of being alternatively mocked and hated for not living up to other people’s freedom fighter fantasy. I’m trying my best but I’m just one guy.

#14 Men’s Mental Health Is A Joke To Everyone And It’s Really Disheartening As A Mom To Two Boys
My words might be all over the place, just trying to gather my thoughts.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.

#15 As A Healthcare Worker, I Find Clapping Extremely Cringy. This Is Literally Our Job. Stop Glorifying Us
As the title says. I’m so sick of this virtue signaling on social media and cities where everyone is clapping and praising us. When you apply to medical school you apply to these terms and it’a just our job. Sure, it’s tiresome and the situation isn’t really great but still. A lot of my coworkers are pumping their ego with this and enjoy the attention. I don’t

#16 Restaurants That Have Pictures Of Their Dishes On The Menu Are Awesome And Should Be Totally Normalized
Whenever I hear someone talk about a restaurant where the menus have pictures of the food on them, they talk about it as if it’s a red flag. Bullsh*t!! I want to see pictures of what the food I am going to order looks like!! It’s so much easier to decide what you want to eat that way. Oh and I don’t understand how people can think it’s tacky then look at the food at the table next to them and be like “oh that looks good”, then ask the other table what they ordered so they can order the same thing. I don’t care if it makes me seem like a dumb small minded person. I wanna see more pictures of food. It rules!!

#17 Math Is Awesome And The Only Reason People Don't Like It Is That Schools Are Bad At Teaching It
In my opinion, math is the most beautiful of any "traditional school subject," but the thing is schools are set up in a way that encourages teaching math as a bunch of formulas to memorize. 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. My explanations don't use any technical math terms, but some of the videos linked will require some thinking.#18 Kids Who Succeed Academically Deserve Scholarships More Than Kids Who Are Good At Sports
Like come on, people who work their assess off have to struggle more so than people who are good at a sport? It's just like how Doctors are paid less than NBA Players... one saves lives, the other plays basketball competitively.#19 The Way Americans Talk About "The Founding Fathers" As If They're Some Sacred Gods Who Had It All Figured Out 200 Years Ago Is Very Weird And Cringey
I get that they are historically important, but some people think these guys from 200 years ago were incredible at predicting the future. As a non American, this always seems weird to me.

#20 Digital Copies Of Games Should Be Far Cheaper Than Physical Copies
The company is avoiding the following costs by selling digitally:Sourcing materials
Manufacturing
Shipping
Shelf space
Employee wages
YET IT STILL costs the same price as a digital copy. Anyone who buys digital is absolutely being scammed.

#21 I Am Sick To Death Of Hearing About The United States Of America, I Couldnt Care Any Less About That Country
Every time I open my phone, look at a newspaper, watch TV, or go onto my computer, all I see is news about the United States of America. I don't give a single s*it about that country, its infuriating. I couldn't care less about who is running the USA any more than I care who is running Zimbabwe or Denmark.

#22 Adults Who Are Obsessed With Disney Are Kind Of Creepy
Disney obsessed people tend to say they enjoy the magic and fairytales, but that just feels like denial of how terrible real life is. So instead of working together and fixing life, they spend hundreds, even thousands going to parks, buying merchandise, and watching movies over and over. All the while that money goes to a mega corporation that contributes to the worsening of real life.Also, Disney is pretty much geared towards kids and being crazy about it is sorta creepy. It just seems like these people have experienced a failure to launch. People should grow up and stop expecting life to be a fairytale.

#23 Amazon Could Really Use A "Filter Out Chinese Sellers" Option
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.

#24 Sleeping In Your Car Should Be Completely Legal And Never Looked Down Upon
I don’t understand why it’s illegal in some places and under many circumstances to sleep in your car. Your car is your property and you should have the right to sleep in it without question. For any reason whatsoever. It could be that you can’t afford an apartment or you just decided not to drive home drunk and sleep in your car. Or any other damn reason. I understand if you park your car on someone’s property illegally and try to sleep in it you should be forced to find another spot but sleeping in your car should be legal. It’s property and no one should be telling me that I can’t sleep in it.

#25 Eating Cereal With Water Is Better Than With Milk
I am a true believer that cereal with water is better. The taste of milk conflicts with the taste of the cereal, whereas water does not. While still getting the same texture, water does not ruin the taste of cereal. My friends crucified me when I told them this...so for this reason I am coming here in search of others who share my beliefs of water being better than milk.

#26 The Fact That No Media Outlet Is Covering David Dorns Death Is Sad
He was a black, retied police chief who was murdered in the protests after he tried to defend a pawn shop that was getting looted. No coverage from anyone and any mention of him on the big subreddits get instantly taken down. There should be a giant outrage from this, but its getting buried and 99% of people will have no idea it happened because the media want you to think that all the protests are peaceful.#27 "Y'all" Is A Brilliant Use Of The English Language And I Refuse To Be Told Otherwise
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.
#28 You Don’t Need To Love Your Career. You Just Need To Be Able To Tolerate It So You Can Finance Doing What You Love
Don’t find fulfillment in your career. Find fulfillment in the hobbies you have, adventures you go on, and people you help because you have the financial freedom to do so. If you love your job that’s awesome, but this isn’t realistic for many people.

#29 Once Someone Agrees With You And Acknowledges Their Mistake, That's Your Cue To Shut Up
This one makes me rage sometimes. So there you are, having made some sort of mistake.For hypotheticals lets pretend you forgot to put your mask on before going into Walmart. (This isn't about masks dont make it about masks, just using an example).
"Sir you need to have a mask on." (Acceptable)
"Why yes here it is, I'm so sorry I forgot. You're right." (Puts on mask)
We are officially done here.
"Well you see theres a pandemic going on....." (wrong. The conversation is over)
"Yeah, you're right I'm sorry man." (Acknowledged twice now, problem corrected! We are done now.)
"When you dont have a mask on you can infect other people...." (why the hell are you still talking)
#30 Not Learning (Or Worse, Not Teaching Your Kids) To Swim Is One Of The Absolute Stupidest Things You Could Do
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.
#31 Screw You If You Record Yourself Giving Things To Homeless People
You see it all over the internet these days, people recording themselves giving food or money or whatever to homeless people. All it is for these people is a personal boost, a way to get views on the internet and make themselves feel important. I think these actions should be shot down not praised and receive 10 million video views. If you’re really this good person you claim to be you would give to the homeless, give to shelters, help people and not tell anyone else about it, it’s that simple.#32 If Exposing Yourself To Someone Without Consent Is A Crime, Sudden P*rn Pop-Up Ads Should Be Illegal
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.#33 Telling A Guy To "Man Up" Is The Same As Telling A Woman To "Get Back In The Kitchen"
I see a lot of posts on Reddit of people whom have gone through traumatic experiences in their lives; be it war, rape, suicide, depression, that sort of stuff.Usually, 50% of a comment thread consists of 'man up' and 'X can't happen to men!'. It's annoying as all hell, and yeeah often those comments do get downvoted, but not enough to send them straight to the bottom of the list.
#34 If A Police Chief Coordinates A “No Knock House Raid” And They Go The Wrong House, They Should Be Charged With Whatever Happens
Like breaking and entering, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, first degree murder, terrorism, etc... the coordinating police chief in charge of the raid should be held responsible for whatever happens.#35 If You Have To Say “I’m An Athiest” Everytime Someone Say’s Something Like “Bless You” Then You’re Truly An Ass
It just makes me so angry to see someone say s*it like this because the person was trying to be considerate and you ruined it. It bother’s me so much every time I hear it. I would consider myself agnostic but I don’t go around flaunting it. I think this goes well with any religion, really.#36 It’s No Wonder Amazon Is Crushing Small Business
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.
Unbelievable.
#37 Jeffrey Star Is Creepy And I Don’t Like Him
No. I’m not gonna say “hE’s CrEepY tOwArDs MiNorS” or anything like that. I just think he’s genuinely off-putting. He’s this tall, extremely thin older man without eyebrows who prances around and wears the personality of a shallow, “yas kween” teenage girl. Everything about him sends me into defense mode and I don’t get why he’s so worshipped. Yes, his makeup skills are phenomenal but Jesus Christ his actual personality is so cringy and creepy to me. Sorry for the ramble, just wanted to express it.#38 We Should Let Some Dog Breeds Die Out
I’m talking the ones that have been bred to an early grave with deformed features and problems that make them suffer their whole life, with breathing problems, walking problems, brains that are too big for their craniums etc. Like Pugs, King Charles spaniels, Bulldogs, Great Danes and others.Some might be saved by cross breeding and a complete change to the breed standard, but we shouldn’t go on like we are now.
Dogs shouldn’t be born just to suffer and die for our entertainment.
#39 Adults Shouldn’t Be Telling Kids That High School Will Be The Best Years Of Their Lives
I am senior and the number of adults that have told me that these will be the years I’ll miss for the rest of my life is disheartening. I feel I have a lot to look forward to in life and I think the message we should be sending to kids is not “it’s all downhill from here.”#40 Choosing To Terminate A Pregnancy Because The Child Would Be Handicapped Is Reasonable
Firstly i want to mention that i have worked with both physically and mentally handicapped people and among them were the most lovable, loving and truly inspiring people I've met in my life. Albeit i don't think it's fair for parents to be required to sacrifice their chance of a normal life for their child. 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. Still i don't think you should be required to give up your own life and sanity for someone else because of societies morals. Honestly i wouldn't be strong enough to handle such a situation.#41 Elon Musk Isn't A Good Person
Now i know that this is a REALLY unpopular opinion because Elon Musk is a poster boy for zoomers because he posts and likes memes on twitter. Right at the start of the world pandemic he was posting on twitter how the panic is stupid and that people are panicking without a reason, even though people were falling and dying like flies into thousands of numbers, he belittled the virus and said how it was not that bad, and even compared it to a common flu, now he posts tweets to free the country and that people have lost their freedom, other than that he is praizing Texas on twitter for openning up stores and businesses, this is a great example of a billionaire that doesn't care about people and only cares about his money, i don't know how i feel about him at the moment, i am sad because he was one of the billionaires that were doing good for earth.. but this is just a big disappointment, i wonder where will he take this. What are your thoughts on this?#42 The Night Before A Day Off Work Is Way Better Then The Actual Day Off
Staying up late feeling like you got all the time in the world the night before a day off is 10x better than the actual day off where you need to be asleep by a certain time to get up for work the next day#43 A Lot Of The Television Shows Using Fully Adult Actors In A High School Setting Could Easily Change Their Plot To Revolve Around A College Setting Instead Of The Weird Fixation Television Has On Displaying The Sex Lives Of High Schoolers
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
#44 The Buff Teenagers Played By Twenty Year Olds Are Incredibly Detrimental To Teenager’s Self Esteem
It’s impossible to watch something nowadays that’s aimed towards teens without these portrayals. This is creating massive delusions for young teenagers in terms of what they think they will look like or should look like and it’s terrible. It should be banned. They are designed to be idolised or even sexualised and displayed as desired so what do think it does to a person who doesn’t look like that.#45 If You Grew Up In 1930's Germany, You Probably Would Have Been A Nazi Too
You may not want to admit it. But it's the truth. With having no knowledge of the outside world except through what was allowed in through propaganda, you'd most likely be swayed to join. They were humans just like us. And if you grew up during that time there, you would most likely be one of them. When the option is join or be labeled as an enemy with the threats of death, most people will join.#46 True Gender Equality Will Be Marked By Nonchalance Towards, Not Celebration Of Gender
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.
#47 Instead Of Writing Sequels Or Prequels To Books, I Feel Like More Authors Should Write "Equals" To Their Books Where The Same Story, Same Events Happen, But It's Told From A Different Perspective Of A Different Character
I've always thought the idea of "equals" for a novel would be incredibly interesting. To read the exact same story, but from a different perspective. I imagine this would be great for the Harry Potter books, as there was so much depth shown in certain characters that it's a shame we only got to read it from Harry's perspective. 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.#48 Most Soldiers Do Not “Fight For Our Rights” But Rather Fight For Money, A Career, Or By Compulsion From A Draft
The last war that was really about “our rights” was the civil war. Vietnam, WWI, II, Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan were really about global power dynamics. The soldiers that fought in these wars were not defending our rights, because our rights were not really being threatened.#49 Meat Lovers Pizza Is Massively Overrated, And Is Borderline Disgusting
And no, I’m not vegan or vegetarian. Meat on pizza is fine, great even. A pizza loaded down with so many different meats that chunks of sausage fall off when I’m trying to eat it is not even appetizing. There are so many contrasting meat-flavors and I really don’t understand why it is so popular. I truly think some of its popularity stems from some weird place of machismo and anti-veganism. Many of the same people who order meat lovers pizza turn their nose up at even the mention of vegetable toppings. And you know what? There are some bomb ass pizzas with veggies on them.#50 If You Can't Manage Even Basic Stuff Like 'There/Their/They're' Or Starting People's Names With Capital Letters, You Shouldn't Be Allowed To Work In An Office.
There are 0 scenarios where I should receive an email from a god damned manager that reads 'take a look at these, there both for you'. I have to go behind my 2 colleagues and 'clean up' the work they fill into communal spreadsheets because I'd be embarrassed if other people thought I contributed such dreck. Just today my workmate had put the simple input 'Mr & Mrs Smith' into a spreadsheet as, and I quote, 'mrq ans mrs smih' and then just moved on with his life with nary a care in the world, like what the F**K, people?#51 Cemeteries Are A Waste Of Space And Everyone Should Be Cremated Or Composted After Death
It doesn't make sense to me why we have so many cemeteries, some of which are huge. We could be using that land for homes, businesses, agriculture, etc. Even if a person wants to be buried, there's no need to pour cement into the ground or to bury the body in a casket that won't decompose after a few years.#52 Broccoli Is Freaking Delicious And I Don't Understand People Who Don't Like It
I am not American, but my country's tv channels play a lot of American shows and all these kids always complain about how utterly disgusting they find broccoli and how they would rather die than eat it.Well if you're gonna salt and boil it, what else do you expect? Add some spices, red chilli powder, olive oil, turmeric or some sauces, and it tastes absolutely godly. Even without too much spice, it still tastes so good and I love gorging on them.
#53 Just Because He Is Bipolar Doesn’t Make Kanye West Any Less Of An As**ole
The dude is a prick and an as**ole flat out, yeah maybe being bipolar is why he is an as**ole but it doesn’t make him any less of an as**ole. Everyone has problems some people are as**oles because of how they were raised, some people are as**oles because they hate their job. They are all reasons but not excuses. Kanye rushes the stage at the VMA’s and took over a speech I don’t care if he’s bipolar he is a f**king asshole. He has also acknowledged he is bipolar accepts his diagnosis but still goes off his meds! F**k that dude he is an as**ole.#54 Youtube (And The Internet As A Whole) Was Much Better When People Were Creating Content As A Hobby Instead Of A "Job"
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.
#55 Video Game Composers Are Underrated
I'm not even sure this would be an unpopular opinion on Reddit however I feel in general videogame composers don't get enough credit from everyone. Composing music for a video game can be significantly harder than for a movie because during a movie the composer knows what will happen and can compose the music so that it sounds perfect for the situation this is not the case in a video game. As someone who has played over 170 hours of ori and the blind forest, hollow knight and Cuphead it disappoints me to see that although they get lots of recognition by gamers the music industry really just snubs them#56 I'm 100% Ok With Homeless People Using My Money For Booze And Cigarettes
Most people I've talked to say they avoid giving money to homeless folks because they think they will use it for beer, cigarettes, and/or drugs. They would rather give them food or some other tangible item to help them out. While I understand the thinking behind it I'm also not naive enough to think that my $5 is going to magically get this person off the streets and back on their feet. These people are already down on their luck and have enough to worry about. If my $5 helps get them a pack of cigarettes or a beer and that's what they need to get through another day with the sh**ty hand they've been dealt then i'm OK with that.#57 Social Media Was One Of The Worst Things Humans Have Created
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.#58 People Are Always Concerned About The Planet We're Leaving For Our Kids, But Nobody Cares About What Kind Of Kids We're Leaving For The Planet
Every single day we are getting away from being human, what we've learned in thousands of years..... We are getting more and more just materialistic beings........ I don't see a bright future here ....... Well, not too optimistic.#59 Just Because You Have Depression/Anxiety/Personality Disorder Does Not Mean Everyone Has To Cater To You
I get it, you are vulnerable if you have a mental disorder, however that does not give you the green card to expect people to be automatically sensitive towards you or your needs. Sure, when others try to help you because they know of your disorder, they are doing this out of their own kindness not because they owe you anything.#60 If I Catch A Baseball At A Major League Game And You Send Your Kid Over, You're The Ass Hole, Not Me
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.
#61 Until Sentenced, The Name, Face And Information Of The Accused Should Not Be Released Publicly
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.
#62 Telling A Guy To "Just Be Confident" As Dating Advice Is Like Telling A Depressed Person To "Just Cheer Up"
If i could, "Just be confident" don't you think I would be already?! I hate being nervous around new people, but I can't just decide to not be. I already understand how important confidence is. I can't explain why I don't have any because I don't know.A depressed person may want to cheer up, but they just can't will themselves happy. There is more to it.
This is how I feel about it. I know I can't be the only one.
#63 I Enjoy Getting My Sleeves Wet When I Wash My Hands
Whenever I’m at work and I have to wash my hands, I purposefully wet my sleeves so that they stick better to my wrists and give me a nice cooling sensation. It’s pure bliss

#64 Making Fun Of Men Who Lose Their Hair Because Of Male Pattern Baldness Is Body Shaming
Watching yourself lose all of your hair and not being able to do anything about it is an agonizing process and no one deserves to be made fun of for it. It is just as bad as any other form of body shaming and people who do it should be called out on it. If you think making fun of people who are fat, skinny, small, big etc etc is bad, but making fun of bald people is okay, then you are a hypocrite.#65 Racism Is Not Getting Worse... It's Getting Caught On Camera
Even with all this stuff going on. I don't believe that Racism is as bad as the early 1900s.With the way technology is advancing today, we're able to see people for who they really are and called them out. Say what you want but atleast people from other races are fighting together. It isn't perfect, but I can say, atleast we're trying.
#66 The USA Suicide Hotline Is Terrible And Shouldn’t Be Promoted
I know a bunch of doctors and celebrities and pretty much everyone else is all for giving just about everyone the number to the suicide hotline and pretending they are helping. They aren’t.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.
#67 Vanilla Is Not “Plain.” It Is A Flavor, And It’s A Damn Good One Too
I hate always being teased for ordering vanilla ice cream or buying a vanilla cake. No, vanilla is not plain. It is a flavor, and there is such thing as plain ice cream (nasty btw). If anything, chocolate is more plain than vanilla since literally everything can be chocolate.#68 I Hate Restaurants/Companies That Only Have Facebook Pages Rather Than A Website
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.

#69 The Most Annoying Thing About The Internet Is That Everyone Assumes You Are From The Us Or Know Everything About The Us All The Time
As a British guy, I shouldn't have to know everything about the US or have to introduce myself as "The British guy" every time I talk to someone online. I also don't want to be treated like some mystical being from lands afar just because I speak a little differently.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.
And my biggest pet peeve through all this has to be when Americans say "the world" but really just mean "the US". The world is all countries, not just all the states.
#70 China Is The Next Nazi Germany
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.
#71 Automakers Should Stop Replacing Buttons With Massive Touchscreens
Yeah sure, it’s futuristic and all, but a lot of them are just becoming a hassle and a hazard. 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.#72 I Would Rather Date Someone With No Social Media Presence Than Someone Who Posts Several Selfies A Day Across Multiple Social Media Platforms
I've found people with less social media presence tend to be less narcissistic and worlds more interesting. It seems like everyone wants to be an influencer nowadays or needs to feel validated for whatever reason. Don't even get me started on influencing. You can be a catch and not put yourself out there so much. Idk, maybe I just enjoy my privacy. I don't like having selfies of my spouse and I posted every day and to have my personal life plastered across the internet. I doubt I'm alone with this opinion.#73 There Is Absolutely No Goddamn Reason Why You Should Have 10 Kids
Unless you’re adopting them, there’s no reason why you should have 10 kids. Especially if you’re struggling with your other kids.Just absolutely no fu**ing reason why. Four kids(biological) should be the maximum and even that’s pushing it.
#74 Caller Id Should Be Mandatory. No Person Or Organization Should Be Able To Hide Behind "Unknown Caller". If You Have Access To My Phone Number And Have Chosen To Contact Me, I Should Have A Right To Know Who You Are
I never answer my phone if its caller unknown and that could be a problem in an emergency. At the same time I can get up to 10 unknown calls a day from two separate numbers attached to a single device. If your calling me I should have a right to know who you are and yes that should influence if I will answer or not.#75 It's Super [messed] Up That Male Victims Of Sexual Assault Are Only Talked About As An Argument Against Women
Like, you can't say that you support male victims and then only bring them up when people talk about women being raped. It's not talked about enough but the fact that most of the times it's just a counterpoint is disgusting.#76 6ix9ine Is A Child Abuser And Convicted Attempted Murderer Who Has Been Found Guilty Of Using A Child In A Sexual Performance. I Think This Is One Instance Where It Shouldn't Be Controversial To Demand That He Is Cancelled
"In 2015, 6ix9ine pled guilty to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance and received a four-year probation period and a 1,000-hour community service order. In 2018, he was arrested on racketeering, weapons, and drugs charges. He pled guilty to nine charges including conspiracy to commit murder"Yet somehow all his videos get 100s of millions of views. He is the Roman Polanski of hip hop. There are tons of hop hop artists who are better than him, both musically and as people. He is the very definition of someone who should not be celebrated. A disgusting, child abusing sicko.
#77 Stop Letting 23 Year Olds On The Internet Convince You To End Your Marriage
I mean that’s pretty much it but if you post about your problem in your marriage or with substance abuse or difficult parents for the love of GOD get a second opinion from an actual professional - who will tell you that, fun fact, your husband not making you a sandwich is not spousal abuse.#78 Huge Stacked Burgers Suck. There’s Nothing Worse Than A Burger With Too Many Toppings That Spill All Over The Place And Make A Mess
Burgers that require you to unhinge your jaw to take a bite is not an enjoyable eating experience. For people that worry about making a mess and getting food all over their face and hands, there’s nothing worse.#79 Being A Single Dad With Half Custody Is Just As Hard As Being A Single Mom But I Don't Have A Rally Cry Of Support Behind Me
My ex has women telling her on social media how amazing she is for raising kids in her own and how strong and independent she is for picking herself up after the divorce (that she caused with her affair) and being a mom. I have none of that. Its not that my friends don't think I'm a good dad, its that as a society, we have made the single mom a sort of unsung hero. What about single dads? We do the same s*it. I work and take care of my kids the same way but I don't get celebrated like I'm doing something amazing. I just get the recognition that almost all dads get... Nothing.#80 I'm Not Telling My Kids To Never Hit Girls
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.
#81 If You Gave A Pill To Overweight People That Made Them Magically Wake Up At Their Ideal Body Weight, They Would Take The Pill. “I Love My Body The Way It Is” Is Just Insecure Posturing
If Lizzo could look like Gabrielle Union, she would. If James Corden could look like Ryan Philippe, he would. I realize everybody’s body is different, but being overweight is… OVER, what your weight should be. For your body. This changes for every person.Full disclosure, I’m about 60 pounds overweight and I’m included in my statement. I don’t like the way I look and feel. But I’m not out here like “ahh I love my curves”.
Now cue all the anecdotal, medical-anomaly rebuttals
#82 It's So F**ked Up That Talking To Kids Is Now Taboo
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.
#83 I Like Sand In The Bed
This is perhaps the weirdest thing I feel comfort in and I thought this was the right place to post it. Feels nice against my skin and don’t know why Also don’t mind sand in my shoes#84 Reddit Loves To Dunk On Christianity But Is Afraid To Say Anything About Other Religions Because That's Considered Intolerant. This Is Odd And Hypocritical Because Modern-Day Religion In The Middle East Is Far More Barbaric, Misogynistic And Violent Than Modern-Day Christianity
Christianity is a "safe" punching bag on this website for some reason; it can freely be mocked and derided. But you dare to make equally derisive statements about other religions and your "problematic" comments will immediately be met with disapproval.This is bizarre and to me it shows that a lot of the anti-religion "views" expressed on this website aren't fueled by reason or conviction but simple parroting.
#85 Young Men Opting Out Of Society To Play Video Games And Focus On Their Hobbies Are ... Acting Completely Reasonable
There are a lot of whiny articles recently about how men don't go to university at the same rate as young women, don't work as many hours as they used to, and in general participate less in society and rather play video games or something. This naturally comes at the expense of traditional life attainments such as working yourself to death, having an insanely expensive wedding, and being the sole provider for a family that will eventually kick you out.#86 If You Need A Heel Chair Due To Your "Weight", It Should Be Mandatory That It Is A Manual Chair Rather Than A Powered Chair.
Seriously, this s*it needs to stop. So many people, with nothing wrong with them other than gluttony and laziness. So many people walk in to walmart, plop their fat asses in the chairs that are for older people and cripples, then just leave them in the middle of the parking lot like the waste of space and resources that they are.Let's be upfront and honest. You don't get to be 500 pounds due to "genetics". 95% of people you see that are that size on a daily basis had NOTHING wrong with them before turning in to a drain on society.
#87 Middle Aged Guys Don't Buy Sports Cars Because They're Having A "Mid-Life Crisis," It's Because They Can Finally Afford The Car They Want
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.
#88 Backstories Should Not Be Allowed On America's Got Talent And Other Similar Shows
I think backstories influences the judges' decision unfairly. Who would you rather choose, a kid who got cancer or an actually talented person but has had a good life. It's called America's Got Talent for a reason. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not some sympathy-less person. I certainly feel bad for them and do hope they have a better life in the future. I just feel like talent shows should be judged on actual talent.#89 Adding Skin Colors To Emojis Was A Step Back
Emojis shouldve just stayed yellow colored. whats the point of choosing a certain skin color. for each emoji you manually choose the skin color that applies to you, but why is it important? just shows how obsessed people today still are with skin color and how they have to differentiate between each other by all means.

#90 Pedophiles Who Are Trying To Get Help Are Brave
It takes a lot of balls to admit that you're attracted to children. If they are trying to get help, they shouldn't be attacked by people for being a bad person. A pedophile is not a bad person until they actually commit an offence.#91 We Should Have A Separate Olympics For Athletes That Want To Use Performance Enhancers. Just For Science So We Can See The Absolute Max Of Human Ability
Like we already know the upper limits of natural human strength and fitness and that should be the main focus. But it’d be really ducking cool to see what we can do at the peak of human ability + drugs. IMO that’s like the combined might of sheer f**king will and determination and whatever drugs add to the mix.#92 Coffee Smells 100x Better Than It Tastes
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.
#93 Salt And Vinegar Chips Are Better Than Both Sour Cream & Onion And Barbecue Chips
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#94 Horse Owners Should Pick Up Their S**t Just Like Dog Owners Have To
I don‘t care how big that bag would be, just hang it onto the horsesaddle somewhere. I absolutely hate slaloming around those piles of s*it while riding a bike somewhere.#95 Being Too Cold Is Way Better Than Being Too Warm
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.
#96 The Best Part Of Yogurt Is Not The Yogurt Itself
But, when the yogurt sits for a good deal of time and settles leaving that wonderful liquid floating atop. Drinking that liquid is much much better than the actual yogurt.#97 It’s Totally Ok To Play Video Games On The Easiest Setting To Enjoy The Story Line.
I have been getting so much grief from my gamer friends for playing games on easy mode. They are calling me “not a true gamer” because I don’t play on hard mode. I just want to enjoy a game for the story line and not get frustrated dying endless times not being able to defeat a boss or making a simple mistake. Does that make me less of a gamer?#98 My Husband Believes Running Pizza Under Water To Cool It Down Is Acceptable
Pretty much what the title says. Not my opinion, but my husband’s. In college my husband and I would make oven pizzas and he would run his slices under the water fountain to cool it down faster. He says it didn’t change the taste and was still good.
