What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate?

Hate is a strong word, with or without vehemency.

There are things I despise (most media, social or traditional, being an example of), there are things I don't like (bananas), stuff and behaviours I disagree with (certainties and personal opinions used as indisputable truth, violence), and then there are people I dislike, some deeply (like... nope, I won't name anyone) but I'd rather not hate. Not anymore, like I may have hated when I was younger.

Hate helps no one solve any issue, helps no one in becoming a better person. It certainly does not help me, quite the opposite.

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Agreed. Hate is poison to the mind. To me, it means you want to destroy something on sight. I can't think of a single thing I dislike that much

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

Not even people who say "on accident"?

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I hate bananas too. I call them Satan's dick because of how inedible they are and how they ruin anything they're mixed in.

And you're not wrong

[–] Libb@jlai.lu 1 points 3 days ago

I call them Satan’s dick because of how inedible they are and how they ruin anything they’re mixed in.

People who wear sunglasses indoors. I get fluorescent or bright led lights bother some folks, but it still screams asshole to me.

People who do not backup their laptops or phones, then come complaint to me when they are unable to to access and get a photo when the device dies.

"What's the cloud? I don't want anything in the cloud! I don't want to make an account!" then "oh no how can I get my pictures my phone doesn't turn on"

Huge crossover with people who ask "can you help me with this computer thing" then demand "just do it for me!" and never learn to do it on their own.

Soup served in a bowl.

Who would want to consume a warm smoothie slowly with a spoon?

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

So with a chunky soup, do you use a giant straw like sucking up oversized boba?

When people pronounce "debut" as "day-boo"

[–] Onionguy@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

For me it's all american pronunciation of french words. Feels like butchering xP

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I wonder, depending upon when a word was borrowed and sound changes in both languages, if any sound closer to their middle/old french counterparts

[–] tychosmoose@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

My favorite French borrowings are gentle, genteel and jaunty. All borrowed from gentil (kind, pleasant, nice), but at different times (13th century, late 16th, and 17th, respectively).

The French word is from Latin gentilis, meaning "of the Roman clan." English borrowed that from Latin as gentile.

So we have 4 English words, all from the same Latin origin. Of them, genteel is probably closest to the Old French pronunciation (but the vowels are still a little bit different).
