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 deliberately warm up my soda if it is cold.

i like that we have genuine unpopular opinions here. i disagree vehemently but will counter with: flat soda is equally as good as fresh.

Good lord what is this world coming to?

This right here, officer.

If it's Dr Pepper, yes. Something about that recipe just works when it's warm.

Anything else, and you're a monster.

That's funny because I'm exactly the opposite. I can deal with most soda being somewhat warm, but Dr. Pepper is absolutely disgusting warm.

I have the American preference for drinks as cold as they can possibly get and still exist in a liquid state.

But also think most people who say they like room temperature drinks have a cooler room temperature than we do here. In England in the fall I could just put a soda on the windowsill to cool off. Here that would make them literally warm. Maybe explosively so. Room temperature about 78 in summer, maybe 75 in winter.

I care less about the temperature usually and more about the fizz. Colder liquids can dissolve more CO2 so I usually drink colder soda because it’s fizzier.

Depends on the soda for me.

But I tend to prefer colder, the lighter the soda.

If it isn't so cold that it has very tiny, fragile ice crystals pushed to the surface by the bubbles, it's basically piss.

That goes double for Sprite and Barqs in particular.

Yep (drinking drinks almost ever in slushy conditions), can’t agree.

But you do you!

I can't decide what's worse, this or the fact that my wife prefers flat drinks.
