Unpopular opinions (non road related)

Gonna add this:

On cars, separate amber turn signals are way better than integrated red turn signals that use the same lights as the brake. The amber signals should be mandated here in the US, as they are in Europe. They stand out much more than a red light and drivers should be able to know that amber always means turning/hazard, and that red always means slowing/stopping. It's already used as a universal "caution color" . Also, this is a little bit more of a personal belief, but amber is just more aesthetically appealing anyways.

- Taco Bell is legitimately good (and cheap!)

Taco Bell isn't cheap anymore. Local joints will always beat them out on price, and especially on quality.

Taco Bell is heathen Mexican Food that pales in comparison to the real thing.

agreed. taco bell markets to the stoner market. if you turn the closed-captioning on during their commercials, it clearly says 'bong' at the end.

having said that. i do frequent taco bell.

Records sound better than CD's.

my hearing is shot (or begging to be shot) so i can't tell the difference. i have hundreds of songs on my phone, but only use one earbud because the right ear sounds like a blown speaker anyway.

they probably do, but i like the convenience of not having to carry 20 lbs of audio equipment with me when i want to listen to music.

Unpopular opinion: Hip hop is the ABSOLUTE worst genre of "music" ever invented by man

While I'm not a fan of it I've also noticed that most people who do also don't like all the late 70s, 80s and early 90s stuff I listen to.  I would probably attribute to not being all that different to me hating my parents taste in music and then likewise with me.

I know noticed that a lot of hip hop and rap songs tend to have similar baselines.  It is really hard not to notice it sometimes when my wife is listening to modern music.

i died a little bit when i heard the bassline from fleetwood mac's 'the chain' shoved into a rap song.

Pls y'all are so tasteless.. Hip Hop is a great genre. It's better than country, grunge, and k-pop.

I never was a fan of any of those either, country has a decent song now and then though.  I never understood how the whole grunge genre got so popular when I was a kid.  I guess that I didn't have issues with depression, it kind of felt like it was prerequisite to enjoy anything Grunge.

Boy, is that the faintest praise ever.

[jmacswimmer]

- Telling people wikipedia is unreliable is weird.

Heh.  I once had a college professor who deviated from the typical "wikipedia is not a reliable source" stance, and went off on a tangent for half of an hour long-lecture about how great wikipedia is because you can easily click from one article to the next and waste tons of time learning new things that way

- If you record yourself giving stuff to the homeless, just go ahead and give them everything you have.

Couldn't agree more - if you truly care about helping the homeless, you wouldn't be recording it.

- Babies should be banned at movie theaters.

Somewhat related - lately I've been to breweries that are instituting an age minimum to even be on the premises at all.  One had it set at 12, while another was all the way up at 21.

Grunge died about 25 years ago.

I'll add to your post... Why do music stores pull a lot of their CD selection only to add large sections of k-pop CDs? I really doubt Americans listening to that buy physical media at a higher rate than average.

"Idiocracy" implicitly argues for eugenics and is a despicable movie

Arizona switches from Mountain time to Pacific time when DST starts.

My opinion is the reverse:  California switches from Pacific Time to Mountain Time when DST starts.

K-pop fans buy CDs more as a novelty rather than actually using it to listen to the tracks.

There exist these things called fireplaces. And blankets. I think I'd manage.
