    Truly, I think some people really think that if something they said is unpopular that should mean they should shut up, or they’re wrong.

    All it means is that the thing was unpopular. A lot of unpopular opinions are just completely correct, but old ways are entrenched etc etc.

    ITT: People posting their unpopular opinion and getting downvoted again, but not as much.

    How do you even cut a sandwich horizontally?? The slices of bread are alreadly separated from each other! On what reference do they consider the cutting plane?

      A horizontal cut is pretty easy. Usually it’s easier than the vertical cut. Sliding the knife between the meat and the liquidy toppings gets you a nice, smooth path through. Then just lift the cut portion away from the bottom portion, and enjoy your sandwich.*

      *One may have to fold the sandwich like you do a piece of bread around a hot dog, but don’t worry, it’s just part of the process.

      I can definitely see why OP would stand by their statement about people who cut sandwiches horizontally.

      Cutting a Sando corner to corner is considered diagonal. Cutting across the middle is considered horizontal in this context.

      One creates two triangles, one creates two rectangles. This is from.a top down perspective.

      It’s not very hard to understand when you see it

        Cutting a sandwich ‘along the middle’ is still considered a vertical cut, just along a different plane. Same as cutting corner to corner. Vertical but on a plane that isn’t orthogonal to the major XYZ axes.

    Me saying Alec Baldwin was responsible for what he did, and should’ve faced consequences for it. Downvotes aplenty, but I stand by my belief

      I mean… he’s an actor. There’s a person on payroll for props for a reason. Should every actor in Breaking Bad have stopped to make sure it wasn’t real ricin they were handling? lmfao

        That’s not how firearms work. If it’s in your hands you are responsible.

        Would you feel differently if he hit the victim with a car he wasn’t trained to drive but did anyway?

    Yup. It’s why I don’t bother reading replies. I said what I said, I don’t care what your response is.

    (No offense. I just don’t wanna hear it.)

        Personally, I prefer the time-tested tradition of r/NotOpButOkay

        You avoid wasting more time on pointless flamewars that way. If someone else shares the same opinion, they can tap-in if they feel like it. A short of pay-it-forward comment style lol

        Predictably, PieFed has that option that Lemmy lacks.

        Although if used for every comment then perhaps better to simply not post the comment in the first place - it’s fairly antisocial behavior to talk but not to listen.

    I genuinely don’t give a fuck about internet points. I’ve seen a bunch of perfectly reasonable takes get downvoted into oblivion and a bunch of dogshit comments get hundreds of votes. People who adjust their opinions based on updoots need to go outside unironically.

        People who cut crusts off toast are so weird. Some bread actually has crusts that are kind of hard, I can see why someone might want to cut it off (even though I think the crust is usually the best part). But toast? maybe useful for the visual presentation, but even then I’d just eat the crust separately.

      Some “opinions” genuinely suck. But I’ve seen downvotes on extremely mild takes, too.

      Not to mention the irrational hate boner people have on the thorn dude.

    And if a .ml user or equivalent is around, my anti-authoritarianism.
