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/

I like Arby's. The roast beef sandwich with their Arby's sauce, their beef and cheddar, even their chicken sandwiches. They are delicious. Their curly fries have no equal, and the potato cakes are great too.

I mean, most people don't have a meat slicer at home, and most store-bought sliced meat isn't going to have the same consistency as you'd get from a proper slicer.

But, it's the same reason people eat out anywhere: Because they don't want to make it, themselves. I can make a chicken and rice dish at home, but I'll still go to Panda Express from time to time. I can make my own burgers, but that doesn't stop me from going to McDonald's once in a while. I can unleash diarrhea with the force of 300 PSI into my own toilet from home, but sometimes I'll let Chipotle handle that for me. Sometimes it's just about convenience.

Do you need a meat slicer ? If you have a sharp knife you can cut to similar thinness.

If that's the only obstacle, it's very overcomeable.

Fair. I don't eat out unless I'm eating something that I can't make. I'm just super duper tight fisted. I'm not paying someone to make a Subpar meal for me. Tipping and driving. That's less convenient than just throwing a beef roast in the oven for a few hours.

But each to their own
