VR headsets with an external battery pack and/or other heavy components on a cable to put in the pocket (as is now a feature of the Apple Vision Pro).

The first time I tried any VR headset I immediately thought why on earth do they not put all the heavy lifting electronics out of this device into my pocket. That would be way more comfortable. But for some reason it was never done and when it was rumored that the Apple headset would do that I noticed people apparently hated the idea. Everyone keeps saying modern headsets are well balanced it’s not a problem, but my experience is different and it’s one of the reasons for me why I don’t like to use it often.

My current headset is the PS VR2 which everyone says is so comfortable and balanced. I just find it annoying after a few minutes.

The 2016 Feig-directed Ghostbusters film. Like, it's not a masterpiece but it's still an enjoyable film.

It has a 49% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, so about half of people seem to agree with you.

As a stand-alone film, it is probably fine. As an entry in the Ghostbusters franchise, I did not enjoy the film.

Rush. The band. Almost nobody in my high school liked them. In the 80s even.

What really surprised me is learning how much people hate it when I drink tonic water. I'm not going to spit it directly in your mouth, friendo. I just want a drink of interesting water.

Sunny weather. Living in Ireland, the sun is ALWAYS a welcome respite from the constant dull rainy shite.

I was surprised to find out that Patchy the Pirate is pretty hated, which is what inspired this thread.

In line with the inspiration for the question: Cars 2

I liked the first one and thought the second one was also lots of fun. I liked the visuals / in-universe elements, and thought it was decent for a kid's spy movie. It was one of my favourite family movies at the time.

Turns out almost everyone hates it?

Soggy cereal. That's how I ate is as a kid and how my siblings did as well, mostly. No one ever said it was gross or the "wrong" way, until I got a bit older and found out that pretty much everyone hates it.

I can't stand dry cereal lol.

The fries at In-N-Out Burger. I really like them. They actually taste like potatoes, which are delicious.
