Discover How Many Of These 28 Unpopular Opinions You Actually Agree With

Like fire, it's a good servant but a bad master

It's not a simple yes or no. X is a sewer now but social media played big part in overthrowing corrupt governments in Arab Spring. It's helped people organise at grass roots and connects people who need support.

Personally it has been a great benefit but I came to it late and am old enough to not need 'likes' as validation, I'm simply there to amuse and be amused by my friends (nearly all of whom I know in the real world). Occasionally ask for advice and opinions - as when I recently change internet provider. It is my primary form of contact with people as I no longer leave the house. The flip-side of it all is the very evident ugliness of those that want nothing more than to spread discord and hate, falsehoods and conspiracy theories. Overall, it causes more problems than is solves I think.

It's a tool, like any other tool it's as good or bad as what we use it for.

It's given trash a place to be ignorant and malevolent

Only on SOMEBODY ELSE'S pizza.

I don't have any problem with what you want on your pizza, but it's not going on mine.

How is this an unpopular opinion? Oh hang on...you mean outside of Australia don't you?

Only when accompanied by ham. Any other mix or way about it tastes too sweet, need the salty savory flavor to cut through the sweetness.

I personally enjoy pineapple on pizza, though only with some ham to accompany it. The saltiness of the ham and sweetness of the pineapple go well together, for my taste buds. If it's not your thing, I understand and respect your choices. It's personal preference at the end of the day.

The "it depends" answer seems to be redundant - either you think it's for everyone, or you don't.

Did want. Never had. Am now not bothered. Got cats.

That's what Casey Anthony said.

There's nothing that I love more than being a mom. But its also the hardest thing Ive ever done. You do not live for yourself anymore. Your life isn't yours anymore. If you're not willing to give that up, you shouldn't do it. Parenthood is definitely not for everyone

I like fast food occasionally, but when I'm at my dad's house, we get fast food pretty much every day. I'm so sick of it and I've been refusing to go to my dad's house for a while. My dad and stepmom are always like "Oh, we don't have time to make a homemade dinner" like bro what!? My mom works night shifts full time as a nurse and she still finds time (aside from sleeping) to make huge, good home-cooked meals.

In moderation ! in my case never yuk lol awful stuff

Similarly to alcohol, as long as fast food isn't in your diet on a daily basis, you'll be fine. As a treat once in a while, that's perfectly fine.

In moderation.

There are too many disgusting aspects to fast food to get into here, but trust me, it's nasty.

I think it should be flipped. Being smart doesn't mean you're good at school, but everyone I know that was good at school is truly smart.

Being good at school definitely means you're some kind of smart, especially if you don't have to work for it. The kind of smart that makes it easy for you to get information from written language or manipulate numbers does exist, and it's very helpful in life. But if you don't have any of the other kinds - social, creative, musical, practical - you're still handicapped.

Depends on what you mean by "good at" and what school you're talking about. Most kids OUGHT to be able to get high marks in grade-level courses, but (1) there should be offerings for exceptionally gifted students to excel at; (2) struggling with normal courses doesn't mean one is exceptionally unintelligent

smart in a limited way - knowing how to play the game well.

Being of high IQ and academically talented are two totally unrelated characteristics

Not on it's own.

Egg salad sandwiches are one of my favorite foods.

I like mayo but I don't think totally amazing but also not a nope. This needs fourth option. I like mayo.

Satan's s***k has no place on a sandwich.

Remember folks, mayo and mayonnaise are different!! True story.. google it..😄

I'm passionate about getting paid. That's good enough.

I love my job, I work in tech, electronics/ electromecanics, software I still love what I do after more then 40 years..most of my clients are great, it the management that spoils it.

It's nice to be, but it's not a requirement. I am. I like my job. But I was lucky.

I love what I do for a living (software engineer). I hate the company I do it for. Unfortunately they pay me really well so it's difficult to move on from them.

I quiet quit years ago. Roll on retirement.

Binge-watching means audiences don't really have time to process, appreciate, and internalize what happens each episode. We lost a part of our culture when everything became on-demand.

Some of the 'old' British series are a delight to stream, especially if you missed out the first time.

I'd bet most people who say that couldn't sit through a 1980s TV show. People slam The Big Bang Theory for having had a laugh track, jokey dialog and unhealthy social interactions; compare to the constant, hatefilled putdowns of Rose (Betty White) by Dorothy in The Golden Girls, or the Dad's random quirk of the week on Family Ties, or the downright dehumanized absurdity of Jaleel White's nerd in Family Matters. And you used to have to go to a movie to see the sort of production value in a typical evening drama.

I think this is much like the "music these days sucks, it was much better it the 70's/80's/90's" argument; you remember the good stuff and forget how much utter trash has always been produced. That said I am often annoyed at the 6-10 episode seasons for streaming shows.

I used to consider TV shows to be a waste of time. I would occasionally watch crime shows with my family but that was about it. Most shows had like 20 new episodes every year with no continuity whatsoever (everything is reset after each episode, the characters have no arcs, plot is episodic...). In the last couple of years I finally started watching TV shows. The characters actually have arcs, the show actually tells a story and there is a lot less filler. Sure, I sometimes have to wait 3 years for 7-10 episodes, but it's usually well worth the wait. I don't understand why people are nostalgic for old TV shows. Sure there are some good ones but a lot of them are generic crime mistery shows and cringy sitcoms with tons of forced laughter.
