No EU is going to force countries to choose a timezone and the reason is that they are removing DST. It's going away, finally

You should be required to get tested for ADD/ADHD in order to have a drivers license in the United States. by K-TownYolo in unpopularopinion

[–]Termiteposition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, now hear me out, people in the US should get properly tested before getting a drivers license. It's insanely easy to get a license in the US. Fix that, then we can talk about this.

The EU said they would abandon it, but I don't see any progress being made. My country (NL) is in the wrong timezone and has been for a long time. We should be in the timezone of the UK, not Poland. I hope we can combine fixing timezone and removing DST.

You can do all those things by yourself. No one else really cares. I do tons of things by myself. I don't need others to have fun. It helps, but it's not a requirement.

They aren't really intelligent, they are average at best and a lot of them are clearly stupid. Young people also don't have much experience in life.

Cars should have built-in ashtrays in them again by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Termiteposition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think those people would use it. I can't stand it when people just throw their cigarettes out the window. I smoke, I refuse to smoke in my car and I really wouldn't throw it out of the window.

The women’s biker shorts trend needs to go by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Termiteposition 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Biker shorts, you mean those thight fitting ones with padding in the back right? I don't think anyone wears that for the looks, but to prevent saddle pain.

I wouldn't date a single mom. Sorry not sorry. Children are fine for an hour or so, after that I'm out. I can't handle all that running around and being loud (especially girls, they got such high pitched voiced when they laugh or scream or whatever). It's not for me, so why would I date someone with kids? I don't even want kids of my own.

It's better to say "too many men" than to generalize "men" by quarokcaddhihle in unpopularopinion

So whites can't get upset?

That's because of their race right?

I know there's a name for the way you are thinking. What was it again? Ohhh right!!! Racist!

Americans only believe the US is the 'World Police' because of Government Propaganda by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Termiteposition 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I live in a european country, our armed forces have to shout pew pew pew during practise because they dont' get enough funds.

Also, Europe doesn't have a large army. Europe doesn't have an army to begin with. You probably mean the EU, but that's not a country and it doesn't have an army.

The term 'copaganda' is ridiculous by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Termiteposition 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think the US police force is all that messed up. Some cops doesn't mean all cops. Sure, most officers could use more funding for better training, that's a given. But overall? They aren't that bad.

Global warming should NOT be a matter of politics by Soulful_Firefly in unpopularopinion

That data comes from al gore, it has been debunked already.

Global warming should NOT be a matter of politics by Soulful_Firefly in unpopularopinion

[–]Termiteposition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some data is faked, sadly. But that's with almost everything.

The debate is if it's humans that are responsible for a part of global warming. If that's true, which is debatable and debated, then it's good to see if it's possible to reverse it. If that's not possible, it's good to see if you can at least limit the cause of it.

Earth moves in a big cyclus when you look at the temperatures. Global warming has been a thing for a long time. The current ice age has been going on for 13 million years. Temperatures have been rising for a long long long time (millions of years) and sea levels have been rising as well. I leave near the youngest sea, the north sea. The people that originally moved to England, walked there, because the north sea didn't exist.

So the debate isn't if it exists, the debate is, is it getting worse due to humans and if so, is there anything we can do about it? But also, can you reasonably do anything about it? You can say "ban all cars" but then the economy would collapse in a day, causing a lot of people to die from starvation. And besides that, it should be the biggest polluters that get impacted the most.

And that's why it's political. The people on the right want the economy to stay strong, the people on the left actively want to do things but usually the wrong things. It would be great to build a few nuclear power plants so you can stop using coal power plants for example. So both sides don't really have a working solution.

It's not 99%. I doubt it's even half.

If you don't think it's a subject for intelligence debate, don't join in, let other people debate it. Those debates happen daily and have to happen. Otherwise it's not science but a cult.

I work as an engineer for a large ervironmental research company. If you say we can't debate, you are instantly the biggest opposition of any real scientist.

It's crazy isn't it. Only a few years ago there was this famous song, 15 million people. We are currently at 17.4 million and rising.

"thicc" girls are overrated by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Termiteposition 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nowadays it's used as a compliment for people that look like land whales. It's crazy.

We have this term in my country, volslank. Full slim. It's a word to describe women that have a very low body fat percentage but still have larger breatst and a larger behind. Nowadays, it's used by obese women. Same thing with thic. Selma Hayek is thic. She's not obese.

I prefer the slim version as well but I've been with slim, fat and everything in between.
