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.

Making your whole identity about your mental illness is weird too. I understand that being deep down in the hole that is clinical depression makes it hard to see anything beyond that, but you get perfectly functioning humans build a whole new personality and lifestyle around a diagnosis.

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 find it vice versa. Soft covers won't stay open, you have to break their spines or hold the pages down with a ruler, or use both hands. Hardcover you can leave open on your desk without using hands.

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.

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.

Just a matter of taste though isn't it? I detest bitter wines but I really like the sweeter ones.

Nora you are right, however as a stressed out adult ion the poverty line it’s one of those things that feel so much better than taste and then eventually those things marry up … know what I’m saying Nora

So you're a sad adult with an addiction that makes you forget how miserable your life is. Kerry, this won't make things better for you.

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.

They play like the adults around them - my older daughter copies my wife and me, and we look after a baby so she wants to look after a baby too. I don't know how different it would be if we had a boy, or we didn't have a second child. Our older daughter also likes playing with cars and diggers, FWIW

Avocados are healthy and contain good ingredients. They taste good with pasta.

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.
