Onions taste gross and have no tangible benefit to cooking. Fight me.
This thread really has brought out some real crazies.
But you sir are, in fact, a demon among men.
Onions, in fact, tenderize meat and many other products, making them more pleasant.
Also, they taste good.

Who downvotes an opinion so apt?
The point of the thread is to have an opinion most people disagree with. So by participating they should be upvoted. Internet etiquette is so weird.
Upvotes and downvotes are only relevant to the post and not the user now, since karma (thankfully) isn't a thing. It even further encourages using downvotes as disagree buttons, since it doesn't hurt the poster. But yeah, it also makes sense to downvote irrelevant posts instead. The problem is that there are only two buttons.
