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.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

My wife's wired headphones are also last forever. She never listens to them while moving, only when she sits at the table and her phone lays firmly on it. If she needs to move, even in a different room she takes her headphones off, and only put them back when she is sitting firmly and the phone is stationary.
I admittedly have a bunch of headphones because I won't make my family listen to my music that they hate, but I have different pairs for stationary listening and moving. When I am on the move, usually doing chores in house, I'll have my phone (or now portable music player since my Pixel 4a got nerfed into oblivion) in my pocket and use my wired IEMs. I greatly prefer over ear headphones, but they aren't so great when you're on the move. The only headphones I have ever had break in my decades of using them were a pair that I let someone else use. Some (many?) people are just really rough on their things, I don't get it.
