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/

i-think-that Raw cookie dough is a thousand times better than the cookie it becomes. Please just serve me the cookie dough. Cookies are dry and boring; cookie dough is moist and flavorful. It's already perfection ancom-heart

I love me some cookie dough, but if your cookies are dry and boring, try a different recipe. Cookies are awesome both baked and unbaked if they're made well.

I agree with the first comment. What are you doing to your cookies that they taste worse than dough?

Ok just bake the flour first. Low chance of salmonella but not zero.

Occasional reminder that raw flour could be bad for you, so at least bake the flour..

[–] elvith@feddit.org 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, raw egg is bad, but so many people ignore/don't know about raw flour and think the dough is fine to eat, if it's without egg (or freshly made sand the salmonella germs might not have had time to grow yet)
