On This Instagram Page, People Share Unpopular Opinions And Here Are 50 Of The Most Polarizing Ones (New Posts)
Everyone is entitled to having their own beliefs. Some people keep them to themselves. Some like to blare them out every chance they get. And others have views so unconventional, they completely go against the status quo.
When not every opinion is greeted with open arms, we’re lucky to have the internet where we can spark a discussion with complete strangers. There’s an Instagram account dedicated to sharing some of the best posts from the popular subreddit called Unpopular opinion. From electric vehicles to stuffed animals, members of this community have something to say about virtually any aspect of life.
So get ready to dive into some of the best posts this account had to offer. Upvote the ones you agree with, and, if you want to stir some emotions, share your own disputable views in the comments below. Psst! After you’re done, be sure to check out Part 1 of this post right here.

I agree, too many times people feel entitled due to their age. You don't owe anyone anything. Congrats on the souvenir and the story you will be able to tell your friends and family.
In Finland, speeding tickets are income based. Just as an example.
Sometimes, we're discouraged from expressing our unpopular opinions because of the adverse reactions we might get from the people around us. Whether we’re talking about politics, religion, or popular culture, sharing our deepest beliefs can make someone feel pretty irritated.
However, while some end up scratching their heads from confusion, others see a like-minded person and gladly show their support in heated discussions. After all, a controversial point of view does not instantly mean that it’s uncommon. When you push your fears of being the odd one to the side, it’s much likely you'll encounter others sharing the same thoughts as you.
Brandwatch, a digital consumer intelligence company, was on a mission to investigate the most popular unpopular opinions on social media. They looked at consumers’ mentions from January 1 to June 30, 2020, excluding news, retweets, and shares. Results showed that 1.6M people shared their controversial beliefs in this period. Also, there were 34% more mentions during the lockdown compared to the four months prior.
Do what brings you comfort and joy. If you're not hurting anyone, you're fine.
Yes! I have blue bunny that was gift from grandmother and knitted Ukraine flag blanket from her as well, where I are going, they go.
God bless your grandmother, and God bless the Ukraine, too!

My 24 yr old daughter has these huge teddy bears to cuddle when she’s having a bad day, I have a red panda and a husky to hug when I feel like crap and I’m 47. No shame whatsoever :)
I always sleep with my stuffed dog. He was such a good boy, but he wouldn't sit still...
Good for you, OP. Nothing wrong with that at all. To anyone who might diss this guy for sleeping with stuffed animals—-when his SO isn’t there—-please explain, then, the popularity of body pillows and all the other support/comfort pillows, including one with an actual stuffed arm you can snuggle under. Might it have something to do with the comfort of having someone/something to hug while you sleep? Ya think?
i think so. i have one pillow for my head and another one to cuddle

YEA! I still sleep with a blanket I've had since I was a baby :)
Me too. I just got a dachshund and he sleeps with me every night. I love waking up to his sweet little kisses.

My wife & I are nearly 60 & have a lovely Polar Bear we talk to as well & he is great,carry on its amazing the comfort we get with him sitting between us as we sleep!
Im 32 and male and I have a bed full. Not ONE partner has cared, or said anything, lol
I have my birth bear in my bed. He is sat up against the head board just as he did in the photos of me at 2 days old. I love my Brown the Red Bear.
I've slept with either Cookie Monster or Bugs Bunny for 50 years. Have to have them!
I have a teddy bear my grandma gave me when I was very young. I'm 35 and still have it
I once knew a man who had his Blue Heeler stuffed by a taxidermist. He loved this dog so much! He was in his late sixties, and used to sit the dog in front of a window looking outside, or take him with him on car rides. He was a lonely widower and I found it sad and lovely at the same time.
I just turned 36 (a week ago) and I've slept with my stuffed puppy since I got her as a little one. She will never not have a place on my bed. I always keep three things: my stuffed puppy, a tiny pillow that was made for me by someone I lost with a Disney babies fabric (I had matching jammies made too), and a blankie.
My son is autistic, 30 and sleeps with a little stuffed fox. We've had to change the stuffed item from time to time due to wear and tear. He sadly thought he had to give up this sleep arrangement because someone ridiculed him for having one. I told him to ignore the person and that he can do what he wants..it's his bed...not theirs.
Hubby and I are 52. We have 2 Piglets (Winnie the Pooh — proper ones, not Disney-fied), one each. I'll never give them up!
i have a lil stuffed wolf from idk where, he lives on my bed, if i go anyplace over night he goes in my bag. sometimes i hold him but most of the time hes jsut there jic
I'm 49 and I sleep with my stuffed Rottweiler, I named Jewels. My x hated. My hubby doesn't care. I don't understand why people make a big deal out of it. There is a lot worse things people could be doing
For me, it's more of a comfort thing. I have hyper mobile joints and having something to cuddly keeps my shoulder in a better condition so I'm not in pain the next day. Currently I have a pillow for the purpose. My hubby used to laugh at me, and then he constantly stole my cuddle pillow until I bought him his own, and now he sleeps best with it too😅
When I was in Iraq, we had guys, tough young men who could do great in firefights & ambushes who would sleep with a stuffed animal & suck their thumbs. It's how they coped in such inhumane conditions.
I like my body pillow, also need to sleep with my feet up on a pillow!
i have one bear on my bed. ive had that bear since i was born. ill probably drag him into the ground with me
I have a stuffed Rocket (from guardians of the galaxy ). He sleeps with me and my husband. He’s tiny so my husband doesn’t care. He actually bought it for me
Hey dude between sleeping with a stuffed animal or cheating on your girlfriend I would say she has a very good guy.
I've six alive cats, and almost all night they sleep on my bed, a lot better than a stuffie!
I'm 30 this year and I still have a huge amount of stuffed animals, I may be an adult but they make me happy and it's not harming anyone.
My husband died 2 years ago. I sleep with his pillow next to me, on my bed. It brings me comfort, and a feeling of his presence for me. Whatever brings you comfort should not be shamed. that's why children like their stuffed toys. You keep hugging your stuffies.
I’m not alone. Me too. I’m 58 and I still sleep with a stuffed tiger
^THIS! I'm 52 next birthday, I'm single, live on my own since my folks passed away, I sleep with several cuddly monkeys and bears. Bed-Time-6...7db15b.jpg 
I don't particularly agree, but I'm not going to crap on someone who does. Live and let live.
I'm nineteen... I've had a 'bitty baby' doll since I was two years old and anytime I'm feeling sad or stressed, I sleep with her. Makes me feel better. As in a LOT better. Funny how that works...
I used to be attached and even dependent on my security blanket I had as a kid. But growing up, my family used to give me crap about sleeping with my blanket because I was "too big" and "wasn't acting my age," etc. I ended up grew up feeling shame because, even during my teenage years, I slept with a security blanket. Even when I had friends over, I used to hide my security blanket out of shame and embarrassment. I didn't even tell people that I slept with a security blanket because of feelings of shame. I eventually broke the attachment and now don't sleep with a blanket anymore because, even many years later, I still feel shame.
Why is this an issue? "People" are not in your bedroom. Who cares what they think?
My mom gave me a stuffed moose that is my favorite like comic icon from Sweden, i have read the magazines since i was like 8, she gave it to me when i turned 30, its one of my greatest gifts ever recived in my life and will take it wiht my until the day i die.
I can't sleep without some sort of weight around me, like an arm or smth. Bf isn't there = IMG_202202...f9af24.jpg 
But if you had a woman in your bed to cope you'd be 'the man's 🙄 society.....ew
I traded my stuffies for a real cat to snuggle with, but whatever works for you is totally fine. I just like my little purr machine. 🐈⬛
I'm 36 and I sleep holding a pillow, it really helps keep me calm knowing I'm holding onto something and helps.me sleep better so there's no shame in sleeping with something for comfort.
I have a kanga and Roo. My little one is known as Roo, so I always feel close when he's not here. Mama and Roo together
I have a large white owl and a large tan teddy bear that on nights i didn't feel good or days where im worn out...I've napped with.......it does feel better to have something near that's doesn't judge on anything.
Very sweet. I don't know how I'd feel sharing a bad with a boy and his stuffed animal, though.
I'm a 36 year old Army vet and go nowhere without my stuffed bears, Max and Roger.
I sleep with one, and it has to be a very specific size, I use it to stop my shoulder slumping over when sleeping on my side, otherwise I often wake up with a sore shoulder. I've never found a pillow that is the right shape or size, but some stuffed toys are perfect.
I have a giant toy llama that I sleep with if I am depressed or my night time anxiety gets too much. All other times I have my small collection of plushies that I cuddle with. My father always had plushies in the bed with him despite having my mother to cuddle with.
My wife and I are 37, we have about 9 on our bed right now. Our daughter has her own in her room. Still have my bear from when I was born. He's missing a leg. I always just tell her he lost it in the war.
Still sleep with my 28" panda that I received as a 4 year old. I'm 51. He's been re-stuffed twice and for the last six months I've been using a substitute stuffed panda 6 nights a week and only sleep with the Real Panda one night because he's falling apart. I can't bear to lose him. He's been with me through all my hospital visits- too many to count. I have a wonderful husband who cuddles me while I cuddle the panda. If something so simple provides comfort to someone, who should judge it??
I've slept with the same stuffed beagle since 1993. It's a comfort thing!
I don't think childish is the word. Maybe, I said MAYBE, an adult who needs to sleep with an inanimate object to avoid loneliness just might, I said MIGHT, need to see a psychologist at least once to find out whether there might be a real problem.
That's bullsh!t. Everyone needs something comforting, and most of these stuffies are from childhood when things were easier or were from people you either can't be with because you don't live with them anymore (Mom and Dad) or they've passed away. Sounds like you don't believe in sentimentality. Sucks for you. I'm going to to hug my stuffed puppy.

Thank you for this. Even though I'm only 14, I sometimes feel ashamed of sleeping with my favorite stuffie.
I've had the same bear for 36 years. He's old, tattered, and pretty worn out but he's mine.
I'm 27 and have a stuffie collection. When I can't sleep I go get one. On trips I take a few because it helps me feel secure and safe on top of making it easier to fall asleep.
I've got 2 cats climbing all over me all night, I don't need a stuffed toy.
63 yrs old,teddy props my arm up when I sleep on my side so I don't wake up with a stiff neck
I've had mr bun bun for 50 years and cannot even think what I'd do if I ever lost him
Yes! My Duckhams came with a bottle of motor oil and has not left my side ever since. Once caused the entire housekeeping department of a large hotel into total chaos when they accidentally took him away with the sheets.
It is not childish or unmanly (or even unwomanly) to sleep with your teddy. If it literally helps you relax and get a good night's sleep then bugger what people say!
I'm 51 and still sleep with my baby blanket. Not ashamed one bit!
I can agree to this. I have a Pug that works just as well. Minus the whole "mind of her own" thing dogs have
Say it louder for the people in the back!! Body pillows too! You'll have to pry my comfort objects from my cold dead hands
100% stuffed animals, body pillows.... whatever makes you feel secure enough to get the sleep your body needs!
Same. Im 33 and when my SO isn't at home I sleep with my stuffed raccoon. So what? I like to hold something while I sleep ^^
My dude, you need therapy. Not a stuffed animal. That's not being judgmental, but serious. If your anxiety is so bad that you require a stuffed animal so you can cope, you need therapy to get the the root of your separation anxiety. "Having to cope" is unhealthy. "Learning to cope" is good.
And it's time to become an adult and not judge other for their coping mechanisms, everyone has different ways to cope and cuddling with a stuffed animal seems like a perfectly healthy one

Greed and narcissism... it's sad, but it's human nature. The majority of the people out there are fake as heck, and will do things like posting videos of themselves crying on the internet as PR moves, to help promote and enhance their brands, to help them gain those clicks, likes, follows, and subscribes. Even more sad is that there ARE the odd few out there who honestly have no one and no where else to turn to, and are using the internet to reach out. But those odd genuine few are usually buried and overshadowed by all the loud popular influencers out there, with their TikToks and viral videos and their memes.
Harassment is the right word. What happened to Diana and other famous people with the paparazzi actually haunting them, spying and giving no Fu*ks. But here's a thought: Who the hell buys those rag mag's is an accomplice bc if they stop buying that filth then the paparazzi will (nearly) go away or at least be way less.
When it comes to the topics people touch on, the top ones were about characters in pop culture, TV shows, dislike of fandoms, and books. People shared their complaints about some of the bestsellers of the century and aired their grievances about how some shows have become outdated. For example, 34K mentions called out Friends "for being hugely popular, despite some aspects not being acceptable today."
The researchers also looked into Reddit, where 958K users shared their gripes. "It seems like lockdown got to Reddit users, too. Posts to r/UnpopularOpinions increased 105%." They found that many of these mentions touched on things that happened on the platform itself. Most of them were focused on sports players, subreddits, and seeing change as not being good.
I read a quote before, wouldn't it be safer to fire blanks at someone than fire bullets at someone with a bullet proof vest
So while it can be fun to share your controversial views online, they also let others say opposing views, have heated discussions, and see things from different perspectives. Anna Akbari, P.hD., is a sociologist, writer, and speaker who shared her thoughts on why unpopularity isn’t necessarily a bad thing in a piece on The Psychology Today.
She explained that if we want to be happy, successful, and feel of service, we don’t actually need to appeal to the masses. "See, we’re complicated beings, each with our own unique experiences, full of biases and contradictions and, hopefully, a point of view," she wrote. "Having a point of view is a good thing, even when that view isn’t universally embraced."
You ruined it with "sure they're cute" because that's the whole point, they're NOT cute, people have just been trained into thinking they are. People need to realise that inbred dogs with serious health problems are the exact opposite of cute.
100% - the cheater is the one at fault - unless the people they cheated with is also someone who you have a relationship with then it's equal blame as they both owe you loyalty. I've never understood the blame being passed to the person they cheat with, and it's usually women who blame the other woman when their guy cheats - I sure there's a patriarchal link to all that that could be deciphered but seriously, they're just a shitty person if they knew he was involved with someone - if they didn't then they're just as much a victim in it all. This idea that men can't help themselves if offered sex has to stop - you don't accidentally have sex - yeah, you may regret it after but you totally know what you're doing while you're doing it.
While we can wholeheartedly stand by one issue, we can also not see eye to eye on another. "Agreeing to disagree on most things in life is fine—assuming it doesn’t restrict the liberty or human rights of others. It’s when we start to think that we need to agree on everything all the time to merely function together that we get into trouble," Akbari mentioned.
Needless to say, popularity isn’t essentially bad. Lots of things that are commonly and generally accepted by our society are considered as "safe". Akbari explained that we don’t have to immediately or categorically reject the popular stuff but rather "selectively embrace it, or at least occasionally challenge it."
Yes, it really should be free. I have been in therapy on and off for years and it has been free (/paid by taxes). It's due to mental health issues so free healthcare = free mental healthcare. I learned a lot and cope much better. I wish it was available to all who needs it. To hear that people live with anxiety, ptsd, depression etc and can't afford therapy to learn how to cope better is really, REALLY sad.
I don't use those sites anymore. If you want me to subscribe, or permit adverts in my ad blocker, or click a cookie thing every time, I just bounce. Enjoy your bouncerate and zero ad revenue. ALSO. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop with the f*****g animated adverts. They drive my poor ADHD ass crazy. I can't stand it.
However, if your views are not clinging to the mainstream popular or if they tend to stir some unexpected or even rude reactions, "don't despair. You don’t need to bend toward conformity, and you may even be able to cash in—financially and socially—on stepping outside the conventional bounds."
She mentioned two rules that people who tend to lean into unpopularity should remember. The first one is that you should actually believe what you’re saying or doing. "Disagreeing for the sport of it is annoying and, rightfully, no one likes or respects you if you do that. So stop it," the sociologist advised.
In many cases I would agree but in many I would not. For example If an employee of mine turned out to be a KKK member, or they were videoed ridiculing a disabled person I would fire them without hesitation.
Retired teacher here, so let me weigh in on the realities. For elementary school kids, I'd overwhelmingly vote yes. Younger kids want to please the teacher; they want to be around the teacher, around other kids, in class. HOWEVER, as someone who taught middle and high school for 26 years, this does not work at all. By that time, there are a lot of kids who are looking for any way to leave the classroom. Yes, there are times they need to use the bathroom, but quite often they also want to socialize. There have been groups in certain years (not all by any means) that texted and met up in bathrooms and fought, too. It helps if a teacher has a sign in/out pass, or gives a certain number of tickets per month. Other children who don't have to use the bathroom COULD give a classmate a ticket if they felt generous.
"The second rule is to embrace your unpopular opinions with the knowledge and grace that not everyone shares your point of view," she continued. This rule can be quite tough since we humans have a general tendency to want others to agree with us. After all, it makes us feel heard and valued.
However, following this guideline "starts with a promise to both give up convincing other people to buy into your less popular opinions and to stop shaming them for their own thoughts and actions."
My previous boss (who was an absolute jerk!) used to say "there's a line of people waiting to take your place, if you quit." I did quite eventually. Seven years later and... my place is still unoccupied. And not just mine - two other people also quit from that office, and replacements could never be found. Or someone would start and then quit a month later due to the conditions. I guess the line of people for my spot turned out to be a bit too short ;)
Or, stop suing everyone for making mistakes. Yes there are serious negligence cases, but they're a lot less common than the cases where "negligence" is claimed, but it's just an honest mistake. Americans really need to stop that s**t.
We have to get rid of the phrase "unskilled labour". A janitor needs practical skills far above average (at least a good one does), and the working conditions of courier drivers or fastfood workers require a great deal of stamina and resilience. In any job you can go from beginner to master, working your job better or faster. Even more important, the economy absolutely depends on the jobs we tend to call "unskilled". Usually, in any company, if a middle manager is absent for some days, work continues more or less as usual. If the cleaning lady is absent, you notice the problems after a day or two the latest.
After that, it’s all about trusting yourself. If you believe that some things are just not right, don’t be shy and share your views with others because, chances are, there are people out there just like you. According to Akbari, there is value in dissent. "There’s often truth at the fringes and insight in unpopular perspectives. Greatness comes neither from blindly following nor from knee-jerk rejecting."
"Many of our greatest historical figures held really, really unpopular opinions. They did stuff that made people cringe or even retaliate against them. Going against the grain takes guts. And that courage is admirable, even if we disagree with what they’re saying or doing—but only when executed with integrity from a place of personal honesty," she wrote.
If you don't trust your partner, then you don't trust your own choice of partner.
We switched my kid to a Montessori school because they got to 6th grade and there was no AP option so they were just sitting there bored. It costs a good bit, but I have no reason to think public schools will be better for my kid than they were for me.
I'll probably be downvoted, but this also applies to the African American label. Your distant ancestors were from Africa,you were born in the US therefore you are American. You don't hear people of Asian or African ancestrysaying they are Chinese English or Ghanian Scottish,they are English or Scottish or just plain British.
Well this is obvious, it also applies to many of the "50 years of driving and no accidents" type people... Yes Mrs Miggins, but only because everyone has done such a good job of avoiding your ass
I swear a lot, but it's very very rarely AT someone. I'm not doing it to offend people, it just comes out :P
Jeans and hoodies get washed maybe once a month (or three) unless something has got on them. You don't need to smell like washing powder, and constantly washing everything is bad for you, your clothes, your bank account, and the planet. End of discussion, downvote me all you like I think you know by now I don't give a s**t.
My husband and I have slept in separate rooms for over 10 years (due to his loud snoring keeping me awake). We are very happy together and have no real problems in our relationship - we just both like a decent night sleep. People assume that we aren’t intimate and/or that our whole relationship is falling apart, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
It's not brave it's natural. This if my face. Don't like it. Screw off
Yup. I've been a passenger while the driver just drove around and around waiting for one of the "good" spots to become available. Finally I said, "If we had just parked in one of the far spots right away, we would have been inside the store by now."
Urgh. My ex-husband used to say that all the time especially during arguments. "No one cares" or "no one feel that way". Well, I do. You can't decide on what to care about or feel based on your feelings and use that as the only truth. Blah.
They say money doesn't buy happiness, but I think this is it...this is the happiness money can buy.
I feel like the human approach to "what to do with the waste/recycling of electric vehicles" will (and probably is) treated similar to the problem of what to do with nuclear waste, and unfortunately, our approach seems to be to sweep it under the rug and let future generations figure it out.
With tweens looking and acting like 20-somethings these days, it's just plain safe to ask.
I went to France twice. One time through the Christmas and New Year's holidays and then again in Summer for rock climbing and rappelling. Both times I and the people I was with were all treated like crap by every French national we crossed paths with even though we were always discrete and polite. Had the same experience later in Quebec. It's left a lasting distaste with me for French Culture.
Normalise being left in read! If you don't want to get left on read don't send me long messages don't send me messages at night and don't send statements like what am I supposed to send ok then you will get mad at me
You’re assuming the lying is about the degrees, not the capabilities (which come with them).
Oh yeah, when I was a kid I got yelled at for "backchatting", and standing up for myself never got me anywhere. And then one day it suddenly became "You need to put yourself forward more! Stop being so timid!" and I had no idea how to do that.
Somebody clearly has met vegetables, and possibly some kids, but not at the same time.
Where do you stop though? Football, rugby and cricket pitches are dotted across my city. Should all organised sport be outlawed? Bottom line is people are paying to use that greenspace so it maintains itself. Parkland needs maintaining and with no income stream, that can end up costing the local authority quite a bit. That said, there is a place for parks and everybody should have access to greenspace, it's just how do we do it and keep everybody happy whilst balancing the books?
Homework turns learning into a dreaded chore, or worse, a big fight. And honestly, to the people who say "well just wait til you're an adult"...it's not my fault you hate your life, Don't try to make your kids hate their lives too. Like what the hell is even that?
I used to work with several women who drove huge feckin range rovers. Exactly one of them knew how to a) drive it properly and safely and b) got it in a parking space the first time. She lived on a farm. It was an appropriate vehicle for her. The others? Wanted to make sure their precious six year old Joaquin made it the half mile to school "safely"
I think if it's done correctly you don't notice that it's there - it's the crappy and overdone ones we notice and then judge everyone by that standard. My ex Co-worker used to get it done every 6months or so and you really wouldn't know if she hadn't told you, it was done in a way that stopped her forehead wrinkling up, crows feet etc but still had plenty of movement and expression - if I ever want it done I'll be going where she did. She looked awesome and at most looked like early 30's when she was twenty years older. Making it readily available via people who have short term courses to qualify is what makes it look horrific
It's partly the fault of Hollywood, and the media in general. Most of us are convinced that once we found "the one" they will complete us, compliment us and fill in all the gaps and cracks in our lives, in our hearts. Not sure that is healthy to be honest - it hypes them up to an unrealistic degree in our minds, and makes relationships more "magical" and unobtainable than they might actually be.
I worked with EMI (elderly mentally ill) predominantly Dementia and honestly, I would take cancer over it. Forgetting my friends, family, loved ones and having to be cared for 24/7 is hell. I had to do it for my grandfather too and watching a strong independent man waste to nothing destroyed me.
It happens in Canada, too. I used to work odd hours, sleeping into the early afternoon, then work in the evenings. When maintenance would come by I'd get weird looks and questioned if I was sleeping or why I'm sleeping. Seriously?! Not everyone works 9-5p, and this is my space to rest when I want. Don't need anyone permission.
Former teacher here. There are three reasons you go to school (at least in the US): 1) To learn a base set of knowledge so you don't look stupid in conversations ("I thought Africa was a country!") 2) To learn HOW to learn. Your style of learning is unique to you, and you need to learn what that is. It's probably not going to be spot on with what the education system has to offer, but you'll be learning how to handle things in that type of environment. 3) To learn what you want to learn. My son is getting a PhD in Spanish Language Arts right now. If he hadn't been forced to take a language in middle school he would never have known that he like languages and had an affinity for them. It's not about learning the right structure for an essay, it's about learning how to organize your thoughts so when you go to write that grant proposal, you do it so well you get the grant!
Clearly you’ve never lived near apple or plum trees. Plums make a mess and w/o pesticides every apple will have a hole in it.
I think 90% (minimum!) of TikTok is a blight on human reasoning and intelligence.
you can't expect teachers to create brand new quizzes for every class. There is such a thing as validity of the quizzes and that can't be calculated if you use new ones all the time. If you're trying to be fair, then you need to know that the same score on a test will actually mean the same thing.
I didn't enjoy New York at all - I found it pretty awful to be honest. It's not my thing, Glasgow is big enough for me
Tipping as a requirement is stupid and shitty management if they aren't paying properly, if tipping is mandatory then just change your menu prices...oh wait, that costs you a tiny bit more in tax. Delivery drivers being tipped? That's stupid, again just charge (more) for delivery. I get good service, I tip, but wages are the responsibility of the management, not the customer.
Huh? I don't think you're spoiled. Why do you need to be punished because your mother can't get you to school on time?
My mom used to go through all of my stuff about every 6 months, always when it was at school or camping or what not. She would throw away almost everything. I learned not to bother trying to have anything and if a friend wanted to give me a gift I'd ask if I could keep it at their house, otherwise I wouldn't have it long. It's probably because of this I'm not materialistic at all and the total opposite of a hoarder. My place is very spartan. No my mother isn't spartan. She's not a hoarder but has a house full of stuff and many storage units full of stuff.
Not sure not showering is "shameful and might be harmful", I think that's the whole point they were trying to get across. There's a difference between never showing and assaulting peoples' noses, and not showering daily while still smelling fine.
As adults, our trick or treating is going to the store Nov. 1 and seeing all the big ass bags of candy %50 off 😋
I'm thinking you are meaning asides from true Native Americans, the ones who were here thousands of years before all the rest of us?
Well that means the parents are somehow affording three different places to live
God forbid people use the range of the English language they so desire. You really found a loser, Bored Panda.
There's also emotional work. I'm a homeless shelter manager. It's not physical labor - there's no heavy lifting or anything - but a lot of new hires don't last because the job can be really hard emotionally.
It's my f*****g house, I'll wear what the f**k I want. Don't like it? Don't visit me.
I work in retail & people are losing jobs because of all the self-service machines. Sometimes the people that want serving at a counter just want someone to interact with. I think there should be both options personally
Totally agree with the first part of your post, completely disagree with the second. Trophy hunting does not play the slightest part in sustaining the lion or rhino population, and both are not that big in numbers that the populations would have to be controlled or decimated (, which is the usual reason for hunting in most western countries).
This makes me think of Grandpa Simpson talking about his "walking bird". Every generation has new slang.
There is no way this would be very helpful, how would they get the ages? The only way I can think of is if the kids enter it, and most kids would lie. And the ones that don't lie would be a target for pedos. The idea is just flawed.
I don't think guys get as much flak for not having kids as women do. Hence him thinking it's ridiculous. Once you hit 30 and you haven't had a fertile egg, it's open season from the mommies.
Caring about how other people drink water is childish. She might have a taste sensitivity. I wonder if there were other issues here. Sounds like Op doesn't like this person for how they act, too.
Now there's a right way to eat ice cream?! Eat YOUR ice cream any way you want. Keep your teeth, tongue, and lips away from mine.
I assume this person is a morning person, and doesn't have kids.
Unpopular opinion: almost none of these posts are unpopular opinions or controversial in any way
Yep, kinda signing off most of them. Basic common sense of human decency.

Unpopular opinion: people are getting so trigger-happy about calling people Karens that it's making more docile people afraid to speak up, especially women. I've never heard the word 'entitled' get thrown around like it has until recently. It's getting to the point that people are saying someone is entitled just because they did something that was a slight inconvenience to them. If that's not entitled, I don't know what is.
I agree. Some people (men and women) act "like a Karen". But nowadays its used mostly to harass women everytime that they are assertive

Nah I think a lot of these are pretty uncontroversial and some are really arbitrary. I think the person is targeting more conservative people, or just trolling (like the one about juice).
I have an unpopular opinion. I don't think anyone should be able to have pets or babies until they have passed significant psychological testing. I don't care about rich or poor. Some people should never be allowed to have responsibility for other living beings. If I ran the world, I'd be very unpopular, because I would be a terrible dictator and not tolerate most of the s**t that goes down in the world.

Unpopular opinion: BoredPanda reposting Instagram that is reposting/stealing Reddit. How deep can we go?
I don't understand why these are considered unpopular opinions I agree with almost everyone
You want something unpopular? I love human much more than I like animals. And pets. It doesn't mean that I dont like animals, or that I will harm them. But if I have to chose between a human an an animal, human will always come first. And I'll strongly judge you if you don't do the same.
Well, the top part of the list were again not unpopular opinions. The extended list was pretty lame. Not sure why I read to the end.
Unopoular opinion: men and women being half naked/in tiny outfits and dancing “sexy” on TikTok shouldn’t be allowed. Want likes and maybe money for looking like that and doing sexy things? Fine. Make an OnlyFans account. TikTok is used by SO many kids and they should not be watching that. I’m so afraid of my bf’s 8 yearold niece seeing a - way too - skinny girl in a bikini dancing sexy and getting thousands of likes, and thinking “that’s what I need to look like. But I don’t, so I wont ever get that many likes and nobody will ever like me!” And the same for young boys, for that matter. Both the “girls should look like that or nothing will do!” or “I don’t have a six-pack like him, so no woman will ever like me!”
Calling out a brand, business or company on something they are doing that is fraud, like for example, randomly adding extra data and thus money onto your internet bill, gets people called as Karens all the time. And these scammers get off scot free. They don't cancel your plan, when they were the ones calling you every week when you weren't a subscriber. They don't cancel or change your plan back to what it was unless you call them five times.
People commend Poland for taking in so many Ukranian refugees - yet African, Indian and literally any non-white students in Ukraine were restrained at the border, some were even beaten and abused. Poland doesn't need to be glorified for doing what is expected of them as human decency.
So this time BP copied an instagram account that copied reddit instead of copying reddit directly
I’m smiling and shaking my head at the fact that the hockey puck post was upvoted the most (of all topics discussed). Does this means that’s it’s the least polarizing of all the polarizing posts? Maybe the one thing we can all stand united on is that if we witness someone catch a ball or hockey puck at a game, we celebrate their win and let them keep it, guilt-free? 😁

Unpopulair opinion: Bubble tea is a waste of space and only popular because people say it's popular.
This s**t is nothing new. The hard reality is that people have been highlighting and pointing out and attempting to make better some of these issues for decades but the younger generation is just into calling them “boomers” and thinking that their revelations are new if unique snd the world needs to bend to their will. I get why customers are pissed office, some have good reason to be pissed off. Hell, how difficult is it to do your job with integrity?? BP is loaded with threads on what doesn’t work, what’s wrong and how things “should be”. It’s a hard lesson to learn that the world works for the ultra wealthy, not the little guy, yes it’s been getting worse, thank the GOP (the party of fear, gaslighting and greed). You want to make a difference, then invest in the work its going to take instead of being a huge part of the problem. Whining and bitching without learning what it takes to change things, just dismissing a whole generation IS A HUGE PART OFTHE PROBLEM!!!
If the gop is so greedy why is it liberals spending all the money?

No it isn't. Most of us appreciate other cultures. They aren't the same thing.
