Unpopular opinions—chances are, we all have them. Whether we voice them or not is up to us entirely, but of course, some people cannot resist a chance to share their thoughts in some online threads, especially if you can hide behind an avatar and a username that probably isn’t going to expose your real identity to anyone (unless you don’t care, that is).

A popular Twitter user by the name of @jzux aka ‘trash jones’ asked her followers to share their most benign unpopular opinions. As expected, the thread was too hard to resist for a lot of the bird app users as the tweet went viral, receiving over 21.4K quote tweets as well as a lot of entertaining replies under the original post itself.

With that being said, if you’d like to see what is this all about, then think no further and scroll down below to see if you agree or disagree with some of the statements these people shared online.

    Interestingly enough, the Georgia Institute of Technology has actually done studies in regard to unpopular opinions people have. Using the data found (that was based on a popular subreddit called R/unpopularopinion), Dasom Eom, Linh Hoang, and Gerry Oei came to some rather interesting conclusions based on their study.

    Their research heavily links to a social phenomenon called the spiral of silence. To understand this better, first, you have to know what the theory of the spiral of silence entails. German political scientist Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann developed the spiral of silence theory, which combines political science and mass communication. It claims that a person's desire to express their own beliefs is influenced by how they perceive the distribution of the general public's opinions.

    The development of internet technology and online communication has recently prompted people to speak out and share their opinions in public online, shattering the barrier of the spiral of silence. Users can openly post and discuss socially undesirable opinions on the subreddit r/unpopularopinion. In this exact study, the forum was studied using the results from participant interviews and community observation. Then they also presented a descriptive analysis to demonstrate how the online space aids its users in overcoming the spiral of silence.

    In conclusion, one of the issues with online spaces (especially Reddit) identified in the study is the recurrent re-uploading of similar viewpoints on the same subject. After a while, users may believe the viewpoint is common and widespread after repeatedly hearing similar unpopular thoughts, thus it becomes the popular idea in the end.

    I don't like red wine, but I love good white wines! Imho you need some advice to find the wine you could enjoy. If you go dining in a nice place, ask your waiter or sommelier for their recommandation. And you have to be open to taste around a bit. As an advice: good wine isn't necessarily super expensive.

    If you just don't like alcohol I get it but if it's just wine 🍷 I have to say you may just have to shop around. The flavor options are just all over the place. What I will say is for good taste you should look for ones that have a low tannin count. Tannins just make everything bitter and sharp.

    The only real metric i've found that matters is sweet vs bitter (aka dry). Find a sweetness you like and everything else is bonus.

    For most of my life, I agreed with the OP until I had something other than the cheap bitter stuff. That's the thing about wine, those that hate it have never had the good wine. For the most part, finding good wine is a secret hidden in plain sight.

    Depends on the brand/type. I know of sugary wines that are like drinking kool-aid and others so dry you make a face each sip (but you get tipsy much faster). You may find a wine that suits you best or you may not be a wine drinker. I will never understand beer lovers, though.

    Imho there is a big gap between wine-snobs, who praise certain wines just because they are super expensive, and the taste-value of a wine. I have a really wealty friend who could afford all the fancy brands. He's a sommelier. But he buys mostly wines that are yummy to the taste and are from lesser known wineries. He served me one of the best Sauvignons I ever had, it was just a delight! A name or a brand means not a lot considering good wines

    For some that is absolutely true, but there are also a lot of people that know what they're drinking and enjoy the variety of flavors in their wine. Most wines are just an acquired taste. I guess I'm not that sophisticated, I love a nice sweet Moscato D'Asti, but can't appreciate the more dry or sour wines. I even worked in an upscale Liquor store where the owner always tried to get my taste broader by letting me try all different sorts of wine... It just never stuck. That didn't however prevent me of any knowledge and knowhow about what I was selling.

    Most wine is disgusting. You can get lucky. I went to a wine tasting once where every wine was awful. Price is no reliable guide, the most expensive reds taste like pure tannin. Brand is no reliable guide, buy a bottle with the same label three years later and either it will taste awful or have no alcohol in it. There is only one good guide to great wine - ask an alcoholic.

    I used to think so too. Then I learned that instead of infusing it with boiling water (100°C/212° F), I should use slightly cooler water (70°C/158°F), also the leaves shouldn't be in cup for too long. The difference is big. I'm not saying that he HAS to like green tea but for many people it's a matter of drinking badly prepared one.

    you need to actually try an actual pumpkin. Here in Africa we roast them with a range of spices like oven potato style. Or you can mash them and deep fry the mashed globs (about fist-sized) as a savory snack similar to a donut. Pumpkins are not only (a) for flavoring starbucks and (b) for halloween.

    Not entierly true. Getting excided about squirrels or motorcycles is just dangerous. Also these specific triggers will probably trigger the predatory chain which means that your dog will loose all control and it wil feel primal and strong. Meaning that it's super reinforcing... and it might become a habit to seek those triggers. And that's dangerous for general dogs health! So it's fine as long as it's not a common and reocurring thing.

    I disagree... they have skin in the game if they care about younger loved ones or are in the know about the political climate. Just because someone grew up one way doesn't mean they don't have an understanding after living so long to give input. This is just narrow minded thinking. If I let my 21 yo vote on all topics the place would turn to s**t. Come on people. Everyone has a voice. Would hate to see how this person feels when they get old and feeble and they make It that long not to have a voice when their mind is still working.

    Coming from a country the "Bread Culture" of which has been recognized by UNESCO as cultural world heritage, I feel personally offended by this. "Wrong shape for the toaster" should never be a point on which to judge bread. Somehow the only bread Americans seem to deem acceptable is toast so sweet it would be considered cake elsewhere...

    Hate most things in even numbers. Odd is nearly always better. 3 candles look better than 2 together. 3 plants planted in a group look better than 4. Etc.

    It's just another flavour. If you like it, cool. If you don't, cool.

    Humans used to eat beans ALOT until the meat processing industry. Beans are easy to grow and they're healthier than meat.

    Leave it to defrost a bit, it’s not as cold and isn’t hard. But if you just don’t like the taste, this is irrelevant

    For me sandals are the only comfortable thing when it's hot outside. I hate wearing too hot clothes, and by 'clothes' I also mean 'shoes'.

    Misogynistic comment! Some guys also pretend to like champagne. As for me, I don't have to pretend.

    I assume it's because they are overwhelmingly sad or happy and if you're uncomfortable then you should control that emotion as it's probably easier than what they are going through.
