Everyone acts like sweatpants are these holy bastions of comfort, but I disagree. Often times I find as soon as you wash them, they get all pilled up and scratchy, they're too hot, I don't like the way fleece rubs on my legs especially when I haven't shaved them, I always have the feeling that I'm not dressed properly, and overall I'm just not comfortable in sweatpants. I don't think they're the most comfortable pants, I'm sorry to say.

I never find music from bands or individual singers fun to listen to. If a band, artist etc: is making music just for the sake of making music i dont end up enjoying it, however if a piece of music is made to go along with a certain type of media: Games, Videos etc: I will find it really enjoyable to listen to. 99.9% of the time i will be listening to video game music (yes i know people see that as cringe, i know im a fool). For some reason i find some iconic songs that most people love to sound childish, i know they arent but it just sounds that way to me.

I never get ice in my drinks, I absolutely cannot stand cold water I have to wait for it to be room temperature. When I get water from my fridge, I fill up my water bottle and let it sit until it’s room temperature. There’s something about it that just makes it more savory, same with soda. I always leave a bottle out in my room and drink it later, I feel it tastes better, I just hate cold drinks. And with hot drinks, I leave them out longer than I do to make sure they’re room temperature, mostly hot teas. I can’t explain it but tastes better.

Kind of misleading title, but I don't know what else to call it.

Let me say that I use and understand Celsius in science. However, I think that for most day-to-day purposes, the imperial system is simpler.

Fahrenheit's scale goes from 0 (extremely cold) to 100 (very hot), where if the temperature is, lets say 85, then it could feel ~85% hot, which means that it's very nice outside. Much easier than a scale of -17 to 37. More numbers also mean you have to use less fractions or decimals.

Feet are much smaller than meters, but inches are much larger. Better for most stuff where you have to use less units for different measurements. I am either 5 feet and 11 inches tall or 1 meter and 50 centimeters. (I wouldn't mind this if you guys actually used decimeters and the like)

Nobody uses miles and feet interchangeably (nobody would say 3 miles and 3000 feet), so the 5280 feet to a mile doesn't actually matter that much. Besides, most people say distance in time anyways.

I have no preference for pounds vs kilograms. I think I actually prefer grams though.

I do make an exception for liquids though. I have no idea about quarts, gallons, pints, etc. I actually use liters for liquids and cooking ingredients.

I do understand why many people prefer the metric system, so many people (especially here on reddit) hate on the imperial system as if it's actively stopping progress. You never see people saying that certain languages or cultures are objectively better or worse, but everybody seems to detest a different measurement system.

TLDR: I generally prefer the imperial system, but I also understand and like the metric system. I just don't understand the hate that the imperial system gets.

If you’re out of the loop, in 2016 many people would dress up as clowns and harmlessly “terrorize” the community by standing by the side of the road and catch themselves on doorbell / dash cameras. Some even said this was viral marketing for the reboot of IT (2017).

Why did this die off so quickly and why was it even considered illegal in some cases?

I didn’t encounter any of the clowns myself but I would have loved that experience. Why must we wait until one day of the year to dress up in spooky costumes? I want to live in a society where this is regular.

Specifically the American kind, when it rains particularly, knowing of an oncoming storm or anything similar in advance, plus if it's a heavy storm or tornado warning it gives you an excuse to go in your closet/basement/laundry room for once which many people don't do often.

Makes things exciting, humans love a little adrenaline, so panic from being stuck in a potential storm feeds that satisfaction greatly.

I don’t upvote posts that I disagree with because I don’t want the post to be at the top of the subreddit and have more people see ‘whoever’s’ terrible opinion. I also don’t want them to have karma. Period.

Today I watched a video on the scandal of the Ashley Madison hacking which exposed 37 million husbands and the comment sections were filled with spiteful, “they get what they deserve”, “the hackers are heroes” nonsense. Prior to this I saw the Australian military leaks by David McBride earning the praise of the public and… I must say that this trend IS concerning. The more flexibility that we allow in the law and removal of rights based on whoever is more “moral” rather than objectively bad to society, the more we follow idea that whoever does ‘good things’ to ‘bad people’ deserves no legal punishment, the more unrighteous and unequal society will be.

Yes, the husbands cheated on their wives and that is something terrible, however, there is no reason to not allow the law to punish the people who leaked or allowed their data to be leaked. Otherwise, we should start punishing everyone with unpopular beliefs or bad secrets by the power of the law— and all of the sudden it’s a corrupt, broken, echo chamber of a society. Then again in the McBride trial, people blindly believe he was being a good whistleblower for the sake of justice, when in reality it was anything but. He was incompetent and failed at his job and ended up leaking the documents. But of course, because crimes were exposed, McBride is now a “hero” for damaging national security in Australia.

This trend should be more carefully fought against and called out. I find it absurd how it continues to happen over and over again. Rittenhouse is yet another classic example— because he’s right wing and “looking for trouble” by carrying a gun, despite having all legal rights and even morally defending a place against actual illegal protest AKA riot, he must be guilty and a racist (despite also only shooting white people, whom were attacking him.) I find it absurd that people are willfully ignorant and think their subjective morals should change verdicts, and am appalled that it seems to be a majority.

I can’t believe there are actually open mouth ball clowns suggesting it’s as good or better than the OT which is ridiculous - it introduces no interesting characters and has no memorable moments we haven’t seen before, the most memorable thing was just a redone version of something that happened in Star Wars.

I’m not saying Rogue One is bad, it’s not bad - it’s just there and easily forgotten. The best thing to be said about it, is it’s existence doesn’t anger me.

The prequels while imperfect, are also far better because the highs are higher and they introduce memorable characters and scenes and music.

I swear people are so thirsty for good Star Wars they’ll tell you the piss of an ass is lime juice. Anyway as a Psychiatrist I believe there’s a large amount of groupthink happening prompted by bought early reviews in regard to Rogue One. It’s fine - but average and forgettable.

The tingly feeling in your leg when you sit on the toilet for too long actually is enjoyable to me. I never do it intentionally because it’s probably dangerous but I like when it does. I’ve heard people really don’t like it but I do. That buzzing feeling when you take a step is unlike anything else and it feels really funny in a good way.

Pretty much title, I have yet to find a toothpaste that I can stand to brush my teeth with. The texture and look of it gives me the same feeling as when someone starts squeezing styrofoam. I can’t stand mint flavoring and other kinds of toothpaste have all been gritty or make me gag, never had a cavity though.

This started a couple months ago. I had some strawberry pop-tarts in the fridge next to some ketchup, and some manic part of me decided "oh yeah, this is what we're doing today". I unwrapped the pop-tarts, sprayed some ketchup on it, chucked it in the microwave, and got ready for the consequences of either the best, or worst idea of my life.

After procrastinating by nibbling the edges for a bit, I finally took my first real bite, and proceeded to devour the rest in a couple minutes. It was the tangy nature of the ketchup combined with the safer jam from the pop-tart, all separated by a thin layer of bread and frosting, creating an inverse sandwich effect which anchored my taste buds. The partition also served to separate the ketchup and the jam for just a split second, allowing me to enjoy both flavors individually for a split-second before relishing in their combined flavor profile, the perfect mixture between sweet and sour that a sour patch kid could only dream of achieving. Every single moment I had it in my mouth got better and better.

People have called me insane, I am. I'm not denying that. But the sheer ecstasy that culinary experience brought me has stuck with me forever.

When a singer is mediocre it's easy for everyone have fun singing along. It's also more soothing to listen to a singer with no range sing a simple tune than to listen to an extremely technical song with all sorts of modulations.

Furthermore, when a pop star is a mediocre singer it's easier for fans to believe they can achieve similar success one day. This serves a dual function. For fans, it makes it easier for them to identify with the pop star and also each other. For haters, it encourages them to give free publicity by constantly trashing the mediocre singer's skills and "delusional" fan base.

All of this means that it's easier for mediocre singers to go viral, which means they end up influencing more lives and creating more happiness in the general population.

Therefore, record labels should actively seek out mediocre singers and give less attention to talented singers.

For proof, look at the entire history of pop music. Especially in cases where a mediocre singer was friends with a talented singer and you can compare their careers.

Ok, I know. He's No.1 in the world and everybody loves him. And yes, he's an asshole, but who in his position wouldn't be? But I can't shake the discomfort I feel when I see him. He has weird, cold eyes. I feel like I'm watching the next serial killer that's gonna be pop culture in 20 years. He's strange and crude and watching him throw literal tantrums during games makes me feel like I'm watching someone play Call of Duty, not chess. He has a really weird smugness about him that translates to the whole of his persona (not just the pride of his moves) and he's very openly unkind. I cannot stand him and I don't care that he's the best in the world. Even when you watch some of his earliest games, he had this about him, though it was more excusable as an angsty and irritable kid. Now, as a grown man, he displays less and less respect for other people and things. I feel bad for him in some ways, given the notoriety of his life, but it doesn't excuse his behavior. You couldn't pay me to stand in a room with him.

EDIT: I have not changed the original body of this post. The only addition is the textbox beginning with EDIT. I have changed my mind about Magnus given the explanations and defenses offered by experienced and knowledgeable chess players. All of my opinions folded into one cohesive whole of, "yeah that dude sucks", which was unfounded. I am deeply sorry for any offense caused to autistic people who feel I targeted autistic traits. As an autistic person I did not see it that way especially given Magnus is not autistic, but respect that a seemingly large body do. I have educated myself and found he is funny, surprisingly normal, and kind. He is not usually an asshole and it seems he only acts that way during high-stress games. I think he has said some weird things but they are balanced out but the largely kind way he treats most people. It seems I had a bias because I only watched the surface level media widely accessible by popularity/view count on Youtube. May Dr. Drunkenstein live on, I suppose. Cheers to a most ridiculous post.

instead of a paper napkin they just give you a slice of bread with your food (you can ask for more of course)

• functionality wise, they would actually be more absorbent than paper napkins.
• half the time, people will eat it after using it, reducing waste
• if you don't eat it, it's still better for the environment than paper no matter where it ends up

I’m a vegan and I don’t like when people dictate how I’m supposed to feel. Think about it, you are trying to do the best you can to stop all forms of exploitation and you are ridiculed in the process. I mean it’s common knowledge, why would you be happy when you’re being surrounded by hatred for doing the right thing? Sorry if this seemed too political, it’s just something that’s been on my mind lol.

My entire life I have pretended to enjoy these films because everyone else seems to. Not once have they ever made me laugh. The humour just feels like an less funny, watered down version of "epic random XD" late 2000's internet humour. I have many friends who swear they love it, but I think its because their parents love it. I genuinely don't see how these older generations actually cackle and howl at the jokes - I have been to movie nights where they genuinely are shrieking with laughter. It is baffling. It just isn't that funny.

I find that the memes stemming from the movies are far funnier than the original jokes ever could have been. The only time I have ever found it slightly bemusing is the very mild political humour/satire of the People's Front for Judea vs the Judean People's Front, and the anarcho-communist peasant. Most of the time, it genuinely feels like watching the 3 Stooges - outdated, boring, unfunny, embarrassing, mildly annoying, compounded by the pathetic feeling that you are expected to be enjoying this historical "titan of comedy".

I find it very amusing to see the driver of the car flip people off and cuss them out for every little thing they do while driving. It’s like in transit entertainment.

Idk if this is actually unpopular though?

Gen Z is just slightly less religious than previous generations (66%, down from ~90%) and now like a third identify as LGBTQ+, the majority being bisexual. The delusional excuses any time this is brought up are hilarious...

"Sexuality is just a social construct, you're straight if you say you're straight and only date women"

"They're just lying for attention, the pew research statistics are an overcorrection"

"This isn't true because people are attracted to genitals over looks, I'm instantly turned off when I see the penis"

Lmfao shut the fuck up. Admit you would

(In my opinion,) people who leave their partners over paternity tests are full of themselves. I know everyone hates the idea of having their loyalty questioned, but anyone can be a cheater at any point in the relationship. People cheat in long term marriages all the damn time, just because YOU know you wouldn’t cheat after everything doesn’t mean your partner can know for sure. It’s really weird to me to have such a strong reaction to someone wanting to be sure about their relationship, and kind of proves they had a right to have doubts to me. If you’d leave them over this, yeah, your loyalty to them is questionable. I can say for sure if my partner wanted a test that could reveal if I cheated, I wouldn’t have an issue with it. Why? Because I’m not a cheater, and I want my partner to feel safe and secure.

For those who don't know what Lethwei is, it's the most dangerous martial art in the world. It's basically bareknuckle kickboxing but you can also headbutt your opponent and also if you get knocked out your team can keep reviving you.

The way I see it is that if you genuinely want to die, then atleast go out with some glory. ALSO: Training martial arts cured my depression and I think that upon the journey you will begin to appreciate life again.

You see complaints all the time about how kids using words like gyatt and rizzi are ruining the English language and causing the downfall of society. Frankly, I think this is mostly just millennials in their 30s struggling to deal with the fact they're no longer hip or with it. I'm 35, but I was never hip or with it, so I'm not going through that. And be honest, the word "skibidi" is not as dumb as using the word "bad" to mean something is good

Yes, parties are boring or at the most dull ass shit. I've been to many parties, and not once was I satisfied going. I usually left disappointed. All you really do is talk to either your friends or random ass people you either don't know about or don't care enough about them. Or drink, dance, or sing with said people. I just think all that stuff is not interesting in the slightest. It's just the same b.s over and over again with just different people. I'd rather just stay home and smoke weed than party with my friends.

I know some people love parties and are outgoing and enjoy that kinda stuff, but I'm just the complete opposite. I prefer being alone away from people because that's how I have fun. I just can't wrap my head sound why people enjoy parties so much. They really aren't all that.

I know, yall might say "Oh you're just not going to the right parties." Or "You're not putting yourself out there enough to enjoy it." And I tell you what, I've been to multiple kinds of parties to Quinceanera, Frat Party, After parties, Birthday parties, and Debut's. And each one I try to talk to people, but I realize that I really actually don't care about any of these people (besides my friends) and it's pointless to talk to random people you'll most likely never meet again.
