Unpopular Opinion
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/

Oh and apparently new ones released in america by people on ourpose can cause you to get allergic to red meat (Lyme's disease)
Before any vegan says 'great!'- read:
Lyme's disease also gives you huge red warts that is long-term to permanent, and red meat is very important for raising peoples B12 and iron and Ferritin levels, which are all things that fight fatigue and organ failure. Please don't fucking take the choice of eating meat away from people. There's no good in a society of people who only avoid meat because they're forced to by the law, you'd want them to actually care about the animals.Firstly, it’s not Lyme that causes the red meat allergy, it’s a different disease. Second, that’s ticks, not mosquitoes. Third, is there actually a source for this? I read a fearmongering article suggesting the same based on some theoretical ethics paper, but there was absolutely no evidence to suggest it’s been done.
The red meat allergy from one of the tick diseases is real. I've never heard of it from mosquitoes.
Sorry, I should’ve been more clear. I was asking for evidence regarding the claim people had been releasing these disease-carrying ticks.
