Unless you are a committed contrarian, most of us prefer to generally agree with the majority opinion. After all, it's not really worth waging war over a commonly held belief, particularly if that debate is happening online. But sometimes folks do need to vent a little.
This online group is dedicated to sharing opinions that generally go against the grain and we have gathered some of the best posts. From disagreements on simple food items to entire societal movements, people drop their hottest takes. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the posts you agree with, and share your own thoughts in the comments section.

Outside of this list, you have most likely encountered the idea of a “hot take.” This is simply an opinion, view, or idea (the “take”) that is quite controversial (the “hot” part.) What you might not have known is that this term comes from sports radio, of all places. Originally, the idea was to promote some listener engagement through good, old-fashioned rage baiting,
The strategy would be for the radio hosts to choose "a topic from the sports zeitgeist, often one that has no business being discussed because the answer is unknowable" and then make"loud, fact-free declarations," so fans, who might not have the best self-control, would call in and do their best to “correct” them.
The person is not wrong - studies have shown that bathing/showering too often actually just moves the bacteria on your skin around.
Now this term has easily extended to the social media age, although the strategy is quite similar. People will be incorrect or inflammatory on purpose, relying on others quickly jumping into the comments section to “correct” them or share the post to mock it. Unfortunately, in the social media age, most attention is good attention, as the algorithm just sees clicks, comments, and reposts, not the negativity.
Anger & hate gets more clicks and the social media referrer algorithms are focused on raising ad revenue. Governments needs to take control of the referrer algorithms. Or ban advertising, which would be my preference.
I’m mostly having a problem with the adults having their children try to get the ball.
This is the real problem with teslas. That and the fact that they apparently have shoddy quality.

Why the hell do you think everyone who buys a Tesla pays more then 40 grand to look cool, thats not why (most) people buy these cars

Always hated them. Found them ugly and overpriced on a way that people are just finally waking up to.
I contemplated buying a Tesla, but now I'm going to put my car money elsewhere when my current car - Ford Focus will around 193K miles on it - breaks down for good. The way Connie (my car) is running, though, "she" will still be on the road when the Cleveland Browns win the Super Bowl.

Seriously tho, what's the problem with Nickelback? Did the band do anything really s****y so people hate them? I enjoy the music they make, or at least the well known tracks everyone does.
They "sold out", "went mainstream". Essentially, they signed a mainstream record deal instead of staying indie because they wanted a steady income. They are still going and still successful.

Musk is much too rich. It's not that he had the money to go into space - it's that he had the money to come back.
He's not that rich. His valuation is purely based on the corporate welfare he has become accustomed to. It'll run out and he can join Elizabeth Holmes if he's lucky.

There's simply no need to bring a perfectly decent band into this.
To me they just seem like any other car, where I live they are as common as Toyotas or Fords
I’ve owned all sorts of types of vehicles, all sorts of brands, good stuff, bad stuff, positively ridiculous stuff. I didn’t buy, rent, lease or steal any of them to impress you or to improve or destroy my image. Every one had a reason to be in my life and the vast majority were in it because I wanted them. Currently my car is a reflection of my need for five seats and roof bars to carry my canoe, what you think of it is irrelevant to me. If I bought a Tesla then that would be exactly the same. If you need a car to impress someone or to be cool then you would benefit from reappraising your priorities.
Its horrible because good electric cars are so hard to find nowadays but he's made his earth helping company, which could have been awesome, a dumb and idiotic company. I do have one disagreement with this post, I cant speak for all but I brought the car with the environment with mind not how “cool” i was, - a tesla owner
Plus the company is now disgracing the name of Nichola Tesla

My dad got one a couple of years ago because of fuel prices. He drives between 75,000 and 100,000 miles a year; it saved him a ton of money.
Im a 40 yr old teacher and LOVE my tesla. I worked my a*s off for my little robot that i got not for any cool effect but so id have a sweet safe little spaceship to pilot me. Im in mountain view and teslas abound. We dont care about the looks we are middle aged middle class moms and dads just trying our best.
For bay area showoffs they usually get the Lucid... and yes theres now a few cybertrucks and we ALL think the cybertruck folks are tools. Never seen one at a charger yet...lol IMHO they prolly charge at home too embarassed to be seen in a public station

Sooo...I pretty much agree that buying/driving a Tesla today is not as cool as it used to be. I remember when having a digital watch was the coolest thing ever. Owning a Tesla has now become more commonplace--hence, less 'sexy.' I will however take issue with the 'bald guy-Corvette' statement. I implore you to see this person differently. In most cases, this is someone who loved Corvettes for many years, but was never able to afford one until later in life. He's not looking to impress younger women. He's living a small lifelong dream. Don't hate--Celebrate!
Older dudes buy Corvettes because they can finally afford them and like to drive them. They aren't (necessarily) making up for a small penis, nor trying to impress women.
Unpopular opinion- 75% of peopel who say they hate nickelback actually like them
I'm not a fan of Elon or Nickelback but I like my Tesla. It's very quiet, quick, cheap to run and feels very zen inside. I like the safety features, and that by leasing through my work I reduce my taxes, as well as hopefully reducing my carbon footprint (because as a country (UK) we're doing pretty well on renewable energy
Yeah because the most important consideration with any purchase should always be "but will this make me "look" cool?" I've read some stupid $hit on this site, but ffs.....grow the f**k up.
Dude you hit it spot on, why do people just constantly hate on this stuff, we care about other things then “being cool”,

I personally would disagree that they ever made you look cool, but that's just me. Any item bought for 'status' is ridiculous too. You have more money than me and spend it on things you want, I don't really care, it's not getting you favours.
A bunch of great and fun features encased in a shoddily and expensive to maintain/repair/replace/etc. shell of a car.
Vain, not vein. Teslas are overpriced status symbols. They may be non-polluting, but they are not any better than gasoline or hybrid cars. In many cases they are worse.
Man do people really have no care for the environment, so you can pay 50 dollars more to go a little farther and pollute the environment, the only real problem is the space between chargers

Where does this person live? Here in Mzansi (South Africa) it's sunny 95% of the time. I get depressed when it's winter and too dark. We need the sun for our mental health.
Also... kids get sick. So do adults. How are adults in a corporate culture going to stand up for their rights and take time off when sick (sorry, idk if getting PAID sick days is a usual thing in the US, but you should still not have to work when you're spreading lurgy) if you don't learn to do it as a kid?
Met my wife at work 12 years ago. It happens to millions of people, it's just the way it goes. They'll do what they can to prevent it, but as long as work is integrated between the sexes it will surely happen forever and that's just fine with me.
I have a good friend who's been participating in kickboxing since he was like 13 and hits the gym on a regular basis. Most buff guy I know, but still far away from Arnold Schwarzenegger or anyone like that. Peak physical condition doesn't look the way the movies make it seem.
I feel the same about the “Alabama is where everybody f***s their sisters hurr hurr hurrrrrrr” joke. Its not funny nor is it anywhere near true.
I tend to get my impressions on numerous observations. How do they treat animals, retail workers, restaurant servers, do they gossip etc. Not their clothing or wealth.
Sellers really don't have a choice. It's virtually impossible to sell your house on your own unless you're a house flipper who has their own license.
If you are afraid of nudity, just avoid the locker room, throw on a jacket and sweatpants and shower and change elsewhere
Everyone could benefit from therapy is different from everyone needs therapy. It's like a personal trainer in a gym - everyone would benefit, some need it more than others.

My unpopular opinion: All religious institutions in the US should be enforced to pay taxes.
This will probably earn me a lot of hate, but here goes: I find it ludicrous that British period dramas now have to be so historically incorrect. For example Father Brown set in 1953 in the Cotswolds. The idea that a catholic priest at that time was exceedingly tolerant towards other faiths, gays, single mothers, abortions etc. is just toecurlingly weird. Nor were there any peole of colour in rural England at the time.
They're prioritising being *politically* correct - the nadir was doing Anne Boleyn as a person of colour. Utterly ludicrous.

My unpopular opinion: I don't care for sport. I know people love it. In my country people are absolutely mad for it. I think only USA and UK are more mad for it. Like it's an obsession. What bothers me about it is that (a) it seems boring to me... like, you are chasing a ball... then you get it... then you place it or kick it to that side of the field or throw it at that guy's set of sticks in the ground, etc... ok. I get it. (b) Identifying as a whatever-supporter and then getting angry/excited about that team while watching them and yelling at the TV set? I mean, they can't hear you so you aren't supporting them, you are scaring your cat. That's all. (c) Selling and buying players?!? I mean, if your team is mostly from Africa then it is an african team, not a french team. I don't care if they have french passports; you stole them via colonialism. Same goes for a british guy sold to a spanish team or vice versa (d). You support a UK team but live in Africa?!? Er... traitor?
I'm disappointed my posts didn't get more likes on this page. That's my unpopular opinion as well.
Nothing like moaning a guy is ripped when there's literally female nudity and stupid airbrushed standards all over the tv WAY more than men.
nah gender appearance idealisation pressure exists for men as well... I think it's ok to draw attention to the problem.

I think we should stop saying someone is pregnant with someone else’s baby, unless the pregnant person is a surrogate (especially if the egg donor is someone else!). For example, I was reading something the other day about when Britney Spears was pregnant with Justin Timberlake’s baby. Well the baby has both their DNA and I think we need to recognize this language comes from a time when men had (most to all) legal control over their offspring and that the father’s lineage was more important socially and legally. I think we just need to update how we talk about it - I definitely don’t think *most* people see the father as most important anymore. It work work to say “person A was pregnant with person B”.
What? Some people like to share/know who the father is. Not everything is sexism.
