  1. Private ADHD diagnoses are a scam
  2. The internet should be switched off for 16 hours a day for the good of everyone.
  3. Flights should be rationed - one short and one long haul per year per person and you can trade/sell your allowance to a someone else or a company. All flights above this should be taxed to hell.
  4. I don't hate dogs but agree that owning them should not be a human right. There are far too many and they change the acidity of the soil, behaviour of wild animals and my enjoyment of walking. Too many cats too, though it makes me sad to say that.
  5. Sick notes are way too easily dished out.

I really haven't. I haven't been remotely rude. I asked you a question and explained why it was called bacon. Its normally called facon or 'this isn't bacon' actually.

And I saw your comment. Do I need to ask permission to respond?

Also there are shite loads of popular opinions on here. People saying dogs shouldn't be off lead with no recall, people shouldn't pierce babies ears etc. They aren't unpopular are they?

You're one of those people. Gotcha.

🤣

Please, enlighten me? From a single post on the Internet. What 'one of those people' am I?

Humans are not carnivores.
If we were then we'd be able to catch our prey with our bare hands and eat it raw.

I agree. Everyone who eats meat should be obliged to visit a factory farm and an abatoir - oh, and watch a film on how pigs in Spain are kept prior to eating chorizo.

Tattoos are horrendous.

Piercings other than pierced ear lobes are repulsive.

Gel and acrylic nails are grim.

Pixie cuts only look nice on actual Pixies.

The Co op is the worst supermarket with Morrisons a close runner up.

Chimpanzees eat meat. We evolved from omnivores.

Fatnold · 21/05/2024 20:16

Tattoos are seriously chavvy, naff and look grimy.

An under 1 year old in anything but a babygrow looks ridiculous

You can't start a light-hearted thread on MN without some people picking it up and twisting it for their own agenda.

Vegans are very dull.

This is so cathartic 😜

Humans are omnivores.
We can eat raw meat: sushi, carpaccio, tartare etc.
And even I can catch animals with bare hands, not to mention that evolution exists and we swapped a lot of traits for a better brain providing us with information on how to catch animals other ways.
Or informing us about evolution at least ;)

People with anything grey in their homes should have to moved into a type of prison until they get some imagination and rectify it.

Same goes for followers of fashion. By follow fashion I mean the people that stop wearing something they like and what suits because, well, it's not 'in' anymore. Ie the people that stop wearing skinny jeans.

There so so many.

A mixed breed dog is a mongrel no matter what silly fancy name it's called - Labradoodle, Cavapoo, Cockapoo, Morkie, Pomsky, Puggle, Scnoodle, Cavachon, Chiweenie etc

You're a mug for paying lots of money for a mongrel.

Salted caramel is one of the worst flavours to have entered mainstream food in the last few years.

Salted caramel, when done well, can be nicer than regular caramel. But for some reason, the world has decided that everything needs to have a salted caramel version. Why!?

45 is middle aged. It’s the beginning of middle age.

Some old people are really rude and pushy and entitled.

Organised religion attracts the most elitist, judgemental people out there.

I think we should bring back the death penalty for people who murder babies and children. They are pure evil & I have zero compassion for them. I do not think they can have any chance of redemption. Think Lucy Letby & that tragic case of little Arthur who was starved & tortured to death by that fucking evil couple a few years ago. If I was the parent of a murdered child I would want the perpetrators dead.

Oral sex is overrated and most people are shit at it anyway

Most marriages have a shelf life of about 20 years or a little less

Most people who have more than 1 child definitely prefer one child to the other. They’ll never admit it though

I think lots of people have only medium intelligence & think too highly of themselves

Some people should not have children.

(Ducks for cover….)

It's super cheap for snacks. Especially pic 'n' mix tubs, it's the cheapest place to buy it. And Japanese snacks that are a fortune everywhere else. The toasted bruschetta in a bag is also amazing, £1 for a whole party's worth.

Also great for plants and houseplants, super cheap, often with nice woven pots, and a fraction of the cost of everywhere else. Really good quality too, mine are giant now.

And also great for storage boxes. Much, much cheaper than supermarkets and other places. And a hugeeee range of all different types. I priced up the same elsewhere and they're triple the price.

All reality TV is shit
Bridgerton is shit
Football is shit
Golf is even more shit and so is anyone who plays it
People who say they went to the University of Life are just bitter because they never actually went to university.

Nope. Had a great day. Doesn't change the fact that comments I make on MN where I have not quoted or mentioned you, therefore don't relate to you.

Circumcising little boys ( I am looking at your America) is infant genital mutilation. Shocking, horrendous. Look up the tools they use it makes me ill. Apparently the foreskins are even sold by the hospitals for various reasons… absolutely SICK thing to do to anyone unless it’s ( very very very rarely) medical. Don’t even try and brainwash into thinking’s it’s a faith issue or cultural.. hell no… it’s infant abuse pure and simple.
