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.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

They gross me out. IDK why. Yes, it's dumb of me. I don't mean to harsh on anyone else's mellow, just not for me I guess! Anyone else?

Now that's a truly unpopular opinion.

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I aim to displease

[–] getoffthedrugsdude@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I believe they're talking about when a tongue sticks slightly out of the mouth :p

[–] JoeClu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I assumed it was bleep misspelled, thanks for that.

[–] uniqueid198x@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I upvoted this only so more people can see how awful this opinion is

[–] Chozo@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's literally the point of this community.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

You know what? I'm gonna say it. I like warhammer, even tho this is a warhammer community

[–] LanternEverywhere@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't like the WORD blep. It's just unpleasant sounding.

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes! Yet I love the word "boop". 🤷‍♀️

[–] Chozo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How do you feel about "snoot"?

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm actually okay with that one. And I use snooty all the time.

[–] ___f____g___@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

You gotta boop the snoot

[–] glad_cat@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Boop is worse. Change my mind.

[–] xe3@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is a tremendously unpleasant sounding word. It along with 'boob' make me cringe. I've no idea what Blep even means though.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's when a cute animal sticks out its tongue a little bit. I like to see it, but I agree about the word being very unpleasant.

Hello, Satan. Glad you could join us.

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We talking all bleps, even like tiny bacon bit cat bleps?

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Pretty much, yes! Though the emoji tongue sticking out bothers me less than the real ones of cats, dogs, etc.

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

😛😋😛

[–] ALERT@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's because you grew up in the times when emojis were already there. Otherwise, you would've liked them bleps.

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Trust me, I did not. 😉

[–] turboshadowcool@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Finally, someone else with the same irrational dislike of them! I don't even know why this is the one emoji/reaction for me, but I can't stand it. There is nothing really wrong with it, but without ever choosing to, I cringe specifically at these (and *mlem). Of all the things to have an irrational, deep seated hatred for, at least this is harmless enough. Thank you for showing me I'm not alone in this and let this be the first and last time I rant about disliking bleps

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, one of us!!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's nothing. My wife doesn't like dog kisses. I think there's something wrong with her.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

She doesn't like being slimed by a face that was buried in an asshole two minutes earlier? Divorce that woman.

[–] winky88@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Right if I can kick her asshole, she can kiss my lips.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How dare you. Dog kisses are the best kisses.

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I teach my dogs to give nose kisses only.

Hmm…I see. Does any tongue exposure at all give you revulsion?

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had to think about that. I don't think so. It really seems to mostly be animals. 🤔

[–] shootwhatsmyname@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We need to get to the root of this.

How do you feel after experiencing these gifs?

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I feel like blocking you. 😂

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My dog is nearly 16 and has started sleeping with his tongue out due to his age. That along with him sleeping more soundly are really adorable.

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Aw, I love that for you!
