Social Issues
ADVERTIsem*nT
Unless you are a committed contrarian, most of us prefer to generally agree with the majority opinion. After all, it's not really worth waging war over a commonly held belief, particularly if that debate is happening online. But sometimes folks do need to vent a little.
This online group is dedicated to sharing opinions that generally go against the grain and we have gathered some of the best posts. From disagreements on simple food items to entire societal movements, people drop their hottest takes. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the posts you agree with, and share your own thoughts in the comments section.

Is this polarizing? Sounds like common sense to me.

Outside of this list, you have most likely encountered the idea of a “hot take.” This is simply an opinion, view, or idea (the “take”) that is quite controversial (the “hot” part.) What you might not have known is that this term comes from sports radio, of all places. Originally, the idea was to promote some listener engagement through good, old-fashioned rage baiting, The strategy would be for the radio hosts to choose "a topic from the sports zeitgeist, often one that has no business being discussed because the answer is unknowable" and then make"loud, fact-free declarations," so fans, who might not have the best self-control, would call in and do their best to “correct” them.

The person is not wrong - studies have shown that bathing/showering too often actually just moves the bacteria on your skin around.

Now this term has easily extended to the social media age, although the strategy is quite similar. People will be incorrect or inflammatory on purpose, relying on others quickly jumping into the comments section to “correct” them or share the post to mock it. Unfortunately, in the social media age, most attention is good attention, as the algorithm just sees clicks, comments, and reposts, not the negativity.

Bad grammar and poor spelling always makes someone seem not very intelligent. I think it's because people don't seem to read much anymore. I'm talking about people who have English as a first language here.

Where does this person live? Here in Mzansi (South Africa) it's sunny 95% of the time. I get depressed when it's winter and too dark. We need the sun for our mental health.

Depends on circ*mstance. Yielding during heavy traffic so someone can go ahead in the perpendicular/opposite direction is completely acceptable.

Honestly, a LOT of public places need to calm down with music. I understand having some soft background music so it's not dead quiet/fun for the people who are working, but I do not need radio blasting in my ears when looking at bread in the supermarket

Also... kids get sick. So do adults. How are adults in a corporate culture going to stand up for their rights and take time off when sick (sorry, idk if getting PAID sick days is a usual thing in the US, but you should still not have to work when you're spreading lurgy) if you don't learn to do it as a kid?

Met my wife at work 12 years ago. It happens to millions of people, it's just the way it goes. They'll do what they can to prevent it, but as long as work is integrated between the sexes it will surely happen forever and that's just fine with me.

I have a good friend who's been participating in kickboxing since he was like 13 and hits the gym on a regular basis. Most buff guy I know, but still far away from Arnold Schwarzenegger or anyone like that. Peak physical condition doesn't look the way the movies make it seem.

I tend to get my impressions on numerous observations. How do they treat animals, retail workers, restaurant servers, do they gossip etc. Not their clothing or wealth.
