Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Peanut butter sandwiches are better without jelly. (crazypeople.online)

Don't get me wrong, if you have a good jam or preserves it's totally fine on a sandwich, and I wouldn't turn my nose up at it. However, peanut butter doesn't really need the help, and the extra sweetness from jelly is totally unnecessary. Toasted bread and peanut butter is all you need for a quality simple sandwich.

Better unpopular opinion: US-style peanut butter is disgusting. It is sweetened and has an off-putting structure. European style peanut butter is way better.

More popular opinion: the best topping for peanut butter is sambal, which is an Indonesian style chilli paste

You understand we have real PB in the states, too, right? The fact that you chose to buy crap in the states does not reflect poorly on us. The PB I buy is not sweetened.

That would be like me going to Vietnam, trying pho with tripe, and concluding that all pho in Vietnam has tripe.

You have even more real PB in the states because it's protected and must contain at least 90% peanuts, this is not the case in the EU.

Came here to say I put a ton of cayenne pepper on mine. Guess I'll try sambal and Tabasco too
