Unpopular Opinion
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/

If you’re using “sweetener packets”, you’re not drinking sweet tea.
If you’re talking about northern restaurant iced tea, yeah, it’s awful. Have you ever tried to reheat hot black tea gone room temperature in the microwave? Refrigerate that horror show and you’ll have northern restaurant iced tea.
To make it worse, some people try to mix granulated sugar into this iced cold mess, where it doesn’t dissolve, but sinks to the bottom of the glass instead.
OP is right, this is garbage. But OP likely hasn’t had real sweet tea. It’s brewed such that the bitter, tannin taste isn’t there. The sugar is added when it’s still hot.
This. Real sweet tea is like if caramel and diabetes had a baby and tea was just the midwife. It’s not really tea in any sense except the academic, but when you want it you want it, and it’s definitely sweet.
Carmel and diabetes and a wet forest floor.
Isn't that where Clint Eastwood was mayor?
Curses!
