What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

There are different species of humans. Dont really care what the current media says.

This is definitely an opinion, and definitely unpopular, so kudos on staying on topic. But I have to ask, why do you care about what the media says and not the science? Also, did I miss scientific studies being published about this? What are the other species of humans called?

Science says we’re all blended into Homo Sapiens now.

But as a spouse to a biologist my understanding is there is no agreement in science what is a species. Defining species is more art than science and often political.

That said. In such cases, whether or not two communities are different sources i or just Su populations of one species - matters little in practical sense. It’s just naming exercise.

it's not an opinion, it's just an incorrect statement

"polar bears are not real! I don't care what the media says, there's just no way a bear can be white"

this is not how opinions work

so where are these other human species and why has no one ever seen them (alive, that is)?

How do you think the species are differentiated?
