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/

If I can smell your perfume as you walk past and it lingers for a while I assume you don't wash yourself simple as that, why would you subject everyone and yourself to that if you didn't reek and need to cover it up. The only person who would smell you is the person in bed with you.

Soap and deodorant is all that you need to not smell, soap when showering and a daily use of anti perspirant deodorant then literally you won't smell.

It's not that easy.

Turns out there's a statistically significant disposition of people to sweat way more that normal, and for those this doesn't work.

Also, when it's very hot people sweat from all over their body so anti perspirant and deodorant doesn't really work because they would have to apply it on every patch of skin which just doesn't calculate.

Then the OC talking about a different disability which makes this a guessing game.

There's just too many factors. Turns out people are very different.
