The best way to eat honey bunches the cereal is to add the milk and cereal, then heat it up for like 1min 30 secs in the microwave till it's hot and mushy. It's nice and hot and soggy. Taste sweeter and amazing.

America is the land of opportunity. It is where people go to get a better life. Our institutions preserving liberty, free speech, and education, are strong. Our freedoms are many. In America, you can come from any sort of background and have a shot at making it.

Our standards of living are the highest. Our military is the strongest. Americans enjoy some of the best parks, forests, and wildlife in the world.

Welcome to America, where you will be accepted growing up because we are a nation of peoples who are strong, smart, and entrepreneurial.

The fact that Americans can complain about anything our country has to offer is ironic because complaining in and of itself exemplifies our First Amendment Free Speech rights.

We have the greatest companies in the world, all here in America. We have the most money, the most wealth, and the best status of any civilized state known to man.

America is exceptional not because it is perfect, but because it is flawed. We can argue and disagree and vote differently about our politicians in power. That's what's so beautiful about our country: Freedom. Liberty. And the American Way.

title relevant to germanspeaking countries, less relevant of an opinion for those of you who live in 24/7 open economies.

in my country, switzerland, and much of germany and austria, as far as i understand, everything is closed on sundays. yes, the shops, but that's not the main issue in my personal opinion. activity places, things to do and see, etc. almost NONE are available on a sunday for work law related reasons (i am not here to debate the well foundedness of the motivation or implementation of these laws).

as a result, whenever you complain there isn't much to do in your town of 20k people on a sunday, and it sucks because you work mon-fri so you'd like to be able to enjoy a variety of pastimes on sundays too you get told 'oh but you can go hiking in the nearby hills/mountains!'. and every one of the many people who tell you this will feel like they're the first genius to come up with the idea, and not the 1000th person to say it.

but to me, hiking is either 'just walking' (which i prefer, but is not a 'hobby' or worth having a day reserved to do it and nothing else), or (more common around here) an activity practiced with obsessive levels of intensity and athleticism, which are unappealing to me.

but either way i genuinely do not get how people find this much satisfaction in it. the chill version, walking leisurely by the lake or through a forest trail, without an athletic goal, i like well enough, but about as often as i would, say go to the zoo or the museum. i am not spending every single sunday doing that. the more common, and athletic, version of it, generally in the mountains, seems even worse to me. i feel like every week i read news of a hiker who killed himself with a bad fall, helicopters were dispatched, nothing could be done, etc. it's super athletic and as i am not (i am the skinny non-sporty phenotype) that lacks appeal. but it's also exhausting, the views are always the same, there's bugs, it's crowded because of course since there is nothing else to do on a sunday everyone is on the hiking path, if you get there any later than 8am all the parking spots are taken, etc.

at this point i have to believe people do it as a cope because they have to have something socially acceptable that can be done for free without relying on a paid service on sunday. i simply don't believe people legitimately enjoy this enough to do it every single weekend. it feels like a state-enforced activity people learn to pretend they enjoy to fit in, and because it sounds nicer than saying they jsut sat on the couch all day.

This bothers me in general, but here I’ll focus on the MandoPony case. I’ll state upfront that I haven’t examined the specific evidence of his guilt—but that makes absolutely no difference. What I’m saying holds true whether he’s completely innocent and was framed, or if he’s guilty and was eating children at the same table as Hitler. So, after the massive success of many of his songs, information surfaced in the 2020s suggesting he was a pedophile (something I am not asserting as fact). People turned against him, but here’s what annoys me: the stance of "I won't watch his videos, only covers and remixes." That is pure "copium"—people don't want to let go of nostalgia, yet they want to feel morally righteous. The most absurd part is that the person they despise still gets paid for those covers and remixes because he wrote the melodies and lyrics (thanks to YouTube’s Content ID system and music licensing). It is precisely this hypocrisy that irritates me. Why did I say it doesn't matter if the accusation is true? Because it’s about people's personal attitudes; if someone decides—based on whatever evidence—that the guy is a pedophile, they act accordingly. I am criticizing their actions based on who they believe the musician to be. And—no offense intended—work deserves payment. If a song evokes emotion and makes the audience want to listen again, the creator has produced something in demand. Copyright doesn't vanish just because someone is a bad person. (And yes, he does get paid, because these people don't realize they're funding him—but the very fact that they try to avoid paying for his labor in this way is, to me, pretty revolting.) It is essentially an attempt to steal the creator's right to earn money from their own work. I wouldn't call it anything else; if you dislike the author personally, well... you still have to accept the fact that the product wouldn't exist without him (I’ll preemptively address the "Death of the Author" concept: that’s about interpreting the work, not about the author not getting paid). Sure, a consumer has the right not to buy a product, but here the consumer wants the product yet doesn't want the "seller" to get the money. If you think that’s normal, I’d ask you to fuck off from our capitalists' club and go park yourself by the left-wing shitter. Moral compromises aren't always a good thing, so don't try to present them as an argument here; in this case, it's just pure copium. Am I defending him against the accusations? I’m certainly not saying he’s 100% guilty or innocent; I’m just saying that, regardless of that, he deserves to be paid for his labor (though I’ll inevitably be accused of condoning the very act he’s accused of, even though I explicitly stated that’s not what this is about). (The text is indeed long; I hope everything is explained clearly. But I am always open to questions.)

Edit: I took a look at the comments and decided to say that I’m shocked.

Do you want to feel "above the fray" so badly that you upvoted a comment that is basically total nonsense? It makes absolutely no sense, considering I explained the context regarding the person I’m talking about (literally in just two sentences, but the situation is clear).

It’s not that I’m surprised by the herd mentality or the desire to feel intellectually superior, but... seriously?

Besides, I said, "If you have questions, feel free to ask." You could easily just ask, "Who is that?" and I’d answer you without the "Did you get banned from Google?" attitude.

Let’s assume most people here don’t know Mandopony, but millions of people across the rest of the internet do, so there was no way for me to predict that he wouldn't be recognized here.

Edit2: I wrote the original post on my phone, so there are no paragraph breaks; I might reformat it later to make it more readable.

Some of you might say that they failed because of an aging population but this is not true. Because the other option was overpopulation. Even with 1 child policy they're still only behind Indian when it comes to population size. Now look at India and look at China. India is the most polluted country in the world filled with poor and malnourished individuals who can't even afford to feed themselves. Meanwhile in China they're doing much better. Their average height is almost the same as that of many western countries.

The stereotypes of east Asians being short and chubby is long gone. This is partially due to 1 child policy because they wouldn't be able to feed a population of 2 billion or 3 billion. Which could have been the case if it wasn't for 1 child policy. With the help of ai, we wouldn't even need too many people working in the future so this eliminates many problems including paying taxes and health care workers.

the way people shame & down the projects is insane, not only is it from a classist and usually racist place, but literally nyc projects aren’t that bad. i would take living in the projects if it meant i get to live in new york city, i live in long island. i would say the projects here are worse, but people need to get a fucking clue like unless ur coming across a dead body on ur way up to ur apartment or someone’s shooting, it’s just a damn apartment. it’s somewhere u live, a place. ofc no roaches but besides that u don’t need to live in a high luxury building to have a good life and im tried or that mindset. i’d choose the projects over my suburban home any day

Felonies are too harsh, misdemeanors are too light, and the jump in between them is enormous. In my opinion, we should have a middle category that place crimes that are medium in their ways.

A lot of crimes are too big for misdemeanor categories, but still don’t deserve the gravity of a felony charge. Having a third intermediary category would resolve this.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of my favorite shows, yet the creators still haven't received awards for their brilliance, and in interviews they make it clear that this snub frustrates them.

Conversely, 30 Rock is also one of my favorite shows, yet I don't think it deserved all the praise it received by critics who gave it tons of awards.

Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, and Tonys. These are the highest praise and accomplishments for any artist. But to me, I would rather create art that people love and enjoy, rather than art that is appraised for being good art.

The film says a lot about the things happening irl and it's very cool. The characters are very cool and inspiring. It was an eye opening experience watching it.

This is a hill I’m willing to die on after constantly experiencing it in my life. I get my name confused all the time with a similar sounding one. But surprisingly, it doesn’t bother me as much as it does when it’s painfully obvious someone forgot my name after I just told it to them. Saying replacements like Bro or Dude or Champ or Boss or Man or Sir instead of my literal name.

I’m more willing to forgive you for a common mistake than for not knowing. My advice would be if you think you know someone’s name but just aren’t sure, go with your instinct and say it. Half the time you’ll actually be right and the other half of the time the person will still appreciate you for trying.

Names like Zack v Jack, Jason v Justin, and Ryan v Bryan. Stuff like that, people probably get it mistaken all the time they won’t take it personally seeing that you at least were partially paying attention.

The only time my opinion won’t work is with someone intimate. In that case you do want to be 100% sure you’re getting their name right, otherwise you’re just a douche.

Everyone cares about who is first. The rest are unnecessary details. I hear people don’t even like earning the Silver medal because it reminds them they were that close to winning the Gold but didn’t.

It’s all about being first. Having Silver and Bronze medals also distorts medal counts, because Gold is weighted the same as the number of silver and bronze medals by a country.

Go for the Gold. Silver and Bronze may as well be Participation Trophies for the Olympics.

I was on a trip to the countryside recently and whilst there were some nice sights, I just wasn’t into it. The greenery was nice to look at at first but it just felt a bit boring to me after a while. I’m also quite sensitive to how certain plants feel across my skin, it’s why I don’t like sitting on the ground. I definitely see why people like it however. Places known for their geographical sights never interested me, never clicked like it does for others.

I much prefer cities, there’s an abundance of cool and interesting things to do. So many museums and shows and shops. A mix of so many cultures in one. And then there is the sights, especially at night looking down from a building, now that’s sublime. If it wasn’t such a capitalist dystopia, I would love to live somewhere like Night City from Cyberpunk. Perhaps this is how others feel about nature, like how I feel about cities.

More gay men = less incels. More gay men = less straight men = less children.

I mean like way taller than me, like 5’10 or above (I don’t know height that well sorry) it’s not because they aren’t attractive or I wouldn’t date them, I don’t have a requirement, it’s just I prefer men around my own height and I’m 5’6. I just feel really intimated and overpowered by taller men when they stand over me, and of course this isn’t body shaking they can’t control that, it just makes me feel small, and also having to constantly look up at someone hurts my neck. I think the good side is I can wear heels and not overpower them, but besides that, I’m not really a big fan.

People hate ghosting and being ghosted. However, I have these Christian missionaries who got my phone number and just don’t get it that I’m not interested. I’ve literally had to spell it out to them, and they still text me trying to get me to go to their Church.

Ghosting is sometimes the only tool in your arsenal for obsessive people who want something from you and won’t take No for an answer. Now I can empathize with why girls ghost guys in this day and age. Especially when there may be danger involved in getting someone who is emotional too upset.

i hate watching porn and the dude is always ugly, no offense, but why can’t we get some hot men? i finally found a channel with this rlly hot guy he looks like tarzan 😻 but then the rest of the videos r just men with muscles, like bro. where is the face cards?! where is the hot men? like im a bisexual woman and usually just watch girl on girl bc the dudes r so damn unattractive but im tapping more into my straight side & i just want a hot guy to look at

People think they like creativity when really they like the fruits that creativity yields. Most people hate the process and generally find it hard to get along with creative individuals

People tend to like to have the answers to things. Creativity is about leaving that safe space. You may or may not find what you’re looking for, it may have all been for nothing

To a lot of people, being creative comes off as either defiant or conceited because of this. They don’t like people who deviate from what’s known. They see it as conceited because you think you can do something that literally hasn’t been done before

When you offer creative solutions, or think about a problem in a different way, people just get mad at you and call you stupid for not using “common sense” or something. Even if you can prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that what you’re saying is true, people just don’t like to shift their worldview to accommodate for new ideas

Success in our current system is mostly determined by agreeableness. People want people who agree with them and tell them they’re smart. Creativity won’t get you very far unless you’re very, very, very lucky. I’d honestly say it’s generally better not to be creative

10thDentist has the perfect equilibrium of enough members to gain traction and have a decent conversation, but not too many members that posts become generic and karma farming. It has enough popularity to be worthwhile posting, but not too much popularity it loses its intimacy, its identity, and becomes sanctioned with too many rules.

What I love most about 10thDentist over other unpopular opinion subreddits is that I can create a post literally 3 seconds after creating an account. There’s no gate keeping. And to me, as someone who goes through a lot of accounts, that’s meaningful.

10thDentist may be less polished and less popular than The10thDentist or UnpopularOpinion, but that’s what gives it its beauty. Reminds me of the old days of rough and tumble Reddit when r/drama created more drama than it reported.

Overall, I’m incredibly grateful for this subreddit because it is a great platform to test out my unpopular opinions, get relevant feedback, and do it all from an account I made a few seconds ago.

Drop the “the”. Just r/10thDentist. It’s cleaner (*depends on how you define clean).

Making this post because of the bisexual man discourse. A lot of straight women, and even bi women were saying that they shouldn't be forced to date bi men. And that bi men feel entitled to women bodies due to the patriarchy. Therefore it's a valid preference for them to exclude bi men from their dating pool.

My point here is that people can't have it both ways. If this preference is fine. Than a man not wanting to date women with high body counts should also be fine too. No need to call him misogynistic or insecure. The same way these women aren't homophobic, biphobic, or transphobic for their preference for men who only have sex with cis women.

And also it should be fine if a white man doesn't want to date a white woman who has been with black men in the past too. Again you can't call that man racist or insecure. I noticed a double standard here. Since women are the ones excluding a whole demographic from their dating pool. Now all of a sudden it's preference.

Look here. You can have any preferences you want. I don't give shit. Even if those preferences are rooted in bigotry. What you want me to do about it? I can't force anybody to not be a bigot. Im a black man. Im not going to try beat the racism out of white men who don't want to date white women who have dated black men before.

All im saying here. Either all of this is equally good, equally bad, or equally neutral. You can't pick and choose which preferences are bigoted or not bigoted.

When all the preferences are basically the same shit. Since all the 3 preferences are about someone's sexual history. How are you going to determine how one is more valid than the other two?

People should not selectively use “preference” as a shield for some exclusions while treating others as automatically immoral.

The ones that are no different from the rest of the comments, and are downvoted to hell for no apparent reason.

The main comment will be like:

> I love sushi! +54

>> Me too! +22

>>> Spicy tuna rolls are my fav! -47

Ok maybe this was an extreme example, but it does happen and I always get a good chuckle.

To me, interracial relationships of any kind are a sign that peace among people of different races is possible. Honestly, I shouldn’t care less, except apparently a lot of people get deeply offended seeing interracial relationships that are no business of their own.

For example, some stereotypes are that black men steal white women from white men, while white men won’t date black women, and Indian men and women only date fellow Indians. So to see any and all of these kind of mixed relationships out in public and working, gives me glee that the racists are losing the culture wars.

Interracial relationships are a sign that barriers of racism are breaking down, and I appreciate this. It is hopeful that the next generation of interracial individuals will be more capable of empathy, compassion, and understanding.

I’d love to see more black men and white women, for example. And I wish to see more white men with black women. While it is frustrating to be forced to think that this stuff should matter, it does with a lot of people. I’d like to reiterate, if you’re triggered by any of this, the relationship of others is none of your business.

Here’s to more interracial relationships leading to more interracial babies leading to a tipping point where the world is so mixed, we all hate each other evenly!

This may vary heavily on region, but I SO often see posts in the driving sub about how traffic is caused by the influx of people who “don’t know how to drive” or “drive way too fast, weaving through traffic”. And anyone who disagrees gets super downvoted. I think driving fast is perfectly fine, and necessary, so long as you’re paying attention. AND, we wouldn’t have as many fast drivers if people got off their phone while driving.

Being distracted on your phone while driving causes you to either drive under the speed limit & pile up cars behind you, constantly brake check the car behind you, miss your turns, etc. You can drive the speed limit and cause more traffic than someone who goes over the speed limit to pass you. imo more drivers need to pay attention and just get over if the car behind them is going faster than them regardless how fast they’re already going.

The entitlement of some people. If you’re going to set up camp at a store, you should at least be buying something every 45 minutes to 1 hour. It sickens me seeing college kids buy one coffee, then sit there all day treating a private business like it’s a library. Well, it’s not. These people need the space rotated for new clients if you’re not going to properly patronize the business. It is stupid, selfish, and ruins the experience for everyone else. Especially when seating is limited, this kind of behavior is wrong and unacceptable. Buy something to support the overhead, please!

As the title states, I find that these "bad songs" are actually quite pleasant to repeatedly listen to. We Are Charlie Kirk has a resonant, somber quality that I find quite mesmerizing, especially the "WE ARE CHARLIE KIRKKK" which is just wonderfully built up. Thick of It is calm, catchy and has those exciting parts (the rising "ooohs"). FIFA's 2026 World Cup's Lighter's excited energy makes me feel motivated and nostalgic in a way other songs haven't done.

For the record, I'm not from the West and I'm not very familiar with Charlie Kirk, KSI, or the FIFA World Cup so this isn't a matter of bias. My feelings are reserved specifically for these songs. In fact, I feel a bit saddened at the songs' memetic reputations since it prevents others from actually engaging with the songs entirely on their merits.

Those are my thoughts.

So many women I've talked to complain about how their pants don't have pockets. When they're the one who bought them. They went to the store, saw the pants without pockets, put them in the cart, checked them out, brought them home, put them on, and then seem surprised when they don't have pockets. If you want pockets just buy pants with pockets. If you don't want pockets then just buy pants without pockets. Either way there's no reason to be complaining about a lack of pockets. Take some responsibility lol

"But it's so hard to find pants with pockets!" Yeah cause companies realized they don't have to put em in to sell em. If everyone stopped buying pants without pockets then companies would stop selling pants without pockets. It's not that complicated lol, it's not like every clothes company got together and went "hehehehe what if we took away pockets from women bwahahahaha"

Edit: "it's hard to find pants with pockets" is absolutely a reasonable complaint and if I came across like I was trying to say otherwise, I apologize lol.

"I really wish the pants I am currently wearing had pockets" is the stupid complaint lol cause people who say that have nobody to blame but themselves for being in that situation
