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/

Subjective warning.

Only transparent protective polish is ok, all colors looks disguising.

Especially with some images or pattern on them. But even solid color is weird, the spacing between them... How with hand movements I see 5 sticking out moving bright dots in the air... Toes even worse, with one big color spot moving differently than other 4.

People downvoting but this must the first actual unpopular opinion I’ve seen here in a while.

[–] Anonymoose@infosec.pub 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Weird take but definitely gonna be unpopular, haha. Does that apply to tooth whitening?

[–] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, just looks less dirty.

Long nails do it to me. If you have long nails I assume you sit on your ass all day doing fingernail shit.

Bruh I can't imagine a world where lacquered teeth is kosher but painted nails isn't lmao what about tattoos and body paint?

[–] MostlyBlindGamer@rblind.com 4 points 1 year ago

There are no colors. OP has spoken.

Truly an unpopular opinion lmao, I hope people upvoted accordingly and didn’t downvote just because they disagreed

I also agree with this opinion. I find painted nails, teeth, etc. ugly as well. I think that the natural color of the body is the best.

BTW you don't have to include "Subjective warning.". Opinions are subjective by nature anyways.

Japan used to have 歯黒 (haguro) tooth blackening and those pictures can be a bit strange to me, but I don't necessarily hate it. I can't imagine multiply-coloured teeth, however. For some reason my brain wants to think that is like mold or something. Painted nails don't bother me at all.

I concur with this viewpoint tunnel rush as well. I also think things like painted teeth and nails are unsightly. The best color, in my opinion, is the body's natural hue.

It is not necessary to mention "Subjective warning," by the way. Anyhow, opinions are inherently subjective.

Yep, this one is definitely an unpopular opinion. And weird. What a strange thing to find disgusting. That being said, I prefer clear polish myself and it’s massive battle at the salon because they just can’t grasp that I don’t want or need airbrushing or little jewels or anything. Nope, just make my hands look nice and clean.
