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/

How do you feel about 5318008?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Serious business.

Requires observation, but discretely.

It is stupid and unfunny. Its the kind of thing 13yo boys laugh at. Problem is we grow up, get soul crushing jobs and one day we're at the Deli counter and ask for about half a kilo of ham, the guy bags it and puts it on the scales and it comes to 420g and you grab some other stuff and go to the checkout and the total is $69. You realise 13yo you would have loved that, realise how little silly joy there is in your life now and contemplate washing your mouth out with buckshot.

69 is just always going to be funny because like you said, I'm stuck in a soul crushing job, and it's nice to chuckle to myself sometimes.

Hehehehehe he said “69” and “420”.

Shut up, Beavis.

Comedy is subjective.

Hope this gets 69 updoots

Aren't most memes "ha he said/showed the thing I know about!" anyway?

It's like the big bang theory jokes. Mentioning something that someone knows can be enough for people to enjoy themselves.

69 has added sex appeal because of its meaning. Its the "thats what she said" type of thing. "Haha, you said the sex thing"

420 has added naughty appeal because drugs.

Basically its an "ooh you said the thing, and that thing is naughty!"

It's fine, but not my cup of tea either.

Awww, poor Melber, Kentucky. They can't help it.

I think some people miss the point. Number 69 is not funny because of sex, it become funny because we like absurd stuff. Whenever I point out "Nice.", not in a slightest I think about sex position, or I am being horny, it's just 'funny' on it's own.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It can be funny sometimes but it can be overdone too much sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My hard sci-fi universe = "the year is 420,421 AF (After Fusion)"

Why? Because it is easy AF to remember, and I don't even smoke. Like, let's start out with this, so you know what to expect. This ain't no authoritarian laser dildo wand flick here to propagandize cultural exceptionalism.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure that's exactly why they are used.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

All these internet jokes are not really funny after a while, but they are just easy. Someone said 69 somewhere, answer with nice, wow, comedic genius over here. Hey guys, i just thought of something deep and funny: the existence of a FUN house imllplies that there is a NOT SO FUN house out there. Isn't that insane?
Or someone asking a question and you just answer it with "yes" HAHAHA how funny and quirky is that?
