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.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

cats are needy?

Cats: goes out, eats a mouse, takes a shit under a bush, and comes home to take a nap on the sofa.

Dogs: grabs leash and whines pitifully at you. "Please can you take me out, master? So I can piss on the neighbours mailbox, bark psychotically at random shit and take a massive stinking shit on the pavement which you have to pick up and put in a fucking to-go bag?"

I went home for Christmas and saw dog shit on both the pavement outside my parents' house and my brother's house. Dog owners suck.

I didn't say that cats are needier than dogs, but the thing is that even especially needy dogs (mine was) also have a lot of other interesting character traits while needy cats are just needy. But I'm starting to think that maybe I just don't like cats...
