What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

For one month of each year, traffic should have to go in reverse

Why?

[–] Ringmasterincestuous@aussie.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I spend like 5 hours a day commuting and so I contemplate a lot of oddities I suppose. Over the years getting weirder (or more practical, depending).

It’s so many things I don’t know where to start, I suppose it started simple with things like people loving their cars too much and taking different aspects of driving (entitlement, rage etc). To car insurance through to organisational behaviour. Environment to natural attrition. Changes in the societal pattern and behaviours.

Times that by like, way too long thinking about what a world like that might be like, and I am where I am..

From the negatives I think of I always see something that makes me think the net positive is worth the exchange

What does car culture have to do with cars driving backward for a day?

[–] Ringmasterincestuous@aussie.zone -1 points 2 years ago

Oh and it’s for a month..

And not really car culture but broadly ‘car’, anything discouraging me being on one side of the road driving to where you live and you on the other driving to where I live always ends up net positive
