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?

The Beatles are just bad. I'm not the most musically savvy person or anything, but I don't see anything special or impressive about anything of theirs at all.

Haha, most of my opinions are unpopular. Some posted in this in thread I agree with.

Humanity is doomed in the short term by its own hand, and that is the absolute best fucking thing that can happen for the planet and the other life on it medium to long term.

We appear to be a self-solving blight upon the natural world. As the late, great George Carlin put it, the planet is ramping up to "shake us off like a bad case of fleas. A surface nuisance."

As a species, we've proven beyond all doubt that we are too malicious to be stewards of this world, and too self-important to ever peacefully, recede in numbers in order to find equilibrium with this world as inhabitants, rather than have dominion over it.

Our macro-cancer ass of a species has got to go.

Not sure how it is here but lemmy.world absolutely loves their atomic reactors, I tried to point out flaws and while noone debunked a single one of them it seemed VERY unpopular, I just ended up blocking theur Technology community...

We should give death row inmates a choice: capital punishment, or be used in place of animals for product testing.
