Most "unpopular opinions" are just people being contrarian and edgy for the sake of it, and they do not actually hold the views they're espousing.
At least, that's my cope for how many people on this website seem to have such abysmally shit taste in everything

Yes it's literally on the label. I don't care if you say that it has too much vinegar and preserves, it still gets nasty. Ever been to a restaurant where they keep ketchup on the tables all the time and they have a funky taste?

I also just like the ingredients like pickle slices and onions and ketchup/mustard/etc. to be a different temperature than the burger.

Still if the ketchup is funky they can't be doing much business. It takes a while for it to go funky unless they do something like just funneling it from a larger container into a bottle but without cleaning out the bottle first. It seriously takes about a month for it to go bad at room temperature so if you use a lot you can probably get away with leaving it out.

I don't though so I refrigerate.

I've been told that "funky" taste is the natural taste of Tomato Ketchup. Refrigerating it makes the taste of it go bland. I assume this is why the majority of restaurants don't refrigerate every single bottle of ketchup on the tables and the pump dispensers don't tend to be refrigerated either. I personally don't mind Ketchup cold or warm. Cold Ketchup is nice for stuff that is freshly hot (like french fries) but I'm not against leaving the bottle out on the countertop for a week.

The bare minimum should be refrigerating condiments overnight, and cleaning the pumps/refillable bottles at least daily. There are few restaurants that do either of these at all, which is why packets are the superior option.

Unpopular opinion: most restaurants are unacceptably filthy, and the effort needed to remedy that is minimal.

Alright, what does/doesn't go in the fridge? I'll start:
  • Apples: Yes
  • Bananas: No
  • Bread: No
  • Butter: Yes, except the stick you're currently using. That goes in a butter dish on the table so it's soft.
  • Grapes: Yes
  • Leftover Pizza: No
  • Onions: No, UNLESS it's half an onion you're saving for later
  • Parmesan cheese: No
  • Potatoes: No

An uncomfortably large number of Christian soft rock songs could be made into a lovesick boy band song just by changing the word "god" into a girls name or something.

Most Contemporary Christian music is saccharine dross. The only artist I've ever consistently liked is Matt Maher.

Listening to "Lord, I need you" now. It feels earnest and straightforward and just like you say it isn't saccharine. Thanks for the recommendation.

Ketchup is one of those things that you can get away with not refrigerating after you open it for a little while, but it definitely does go bad. I refrigerate mine.

  • I think bananas actually get damaged in some weird way if you refrigerate them. You're supposed to keep their stems wrapped in plastic like this: 1688587719128.png
  • I keep bread in the fridge because it takes a while for me to go through a loaf and they mold up much slower in the fridge than not
  • Cream cheese has the same rule as butter, fridge it, but leave it out for a while if you're gonna use it later that day. It's tricky
  • Leftover pizza does go in the fridge, but it's generally fine if you leave it out overnight. More than a night though and it becomes stiff and cardboard-like.

I find most mass shooters to be scum and its pathetic on multiple levels to attack defenseless civilians while trying to brag about it. That said, if a mass shooter actually went up to a police precinct, then I might be somewhat impressed. Not out of any kind of anarchistic ideology or personal disdain but largely because it would be interesting to see someone actually hurt an entity that can fight back.

This, I don't condone what Micah Johnson did, but a BLM activist shooting 13 armed police officers took guts, misguided guts, but still less evil than murdering unarmed and unrelated civilians unrelated to the issue

My favorites of his are "The End and the Beginning", "And All The People Said Amen", and "Woke Up in America"

Foot fetishism isn't actually that weird. It's like the designated punching bag for "weird fetish creep" but seems way more tame than shit like licking someone's asshole or doing some daddy little girl shit.

People call you a weird fetish creep because for whatever reason you niggers are waaaay too comfortable talking about your stupid fetish with others these days. Quentin Tarantino was a mistake.

Would the reason why motorcycles are popular be the same reason why pressing a strong vibrator against your crotch makes you blow a load?
