Inspired by a clip I just saw on Instagram.

Deep breath.

Here goes.

Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

Different personalities are not neurodiversities.

The ingratitude of people on benefits will be the death of the welfare state.

Didn't take long...

It's OK to eat pasta and garlic bread in the same meal. The world won't end.

Are there people that don’t do this?! We have garlic bread every time we have pasta 😂

i haven’t had salad cream in ages, is it still eaten? 👀

Very much so... Check out the condiments aisle you'll see loads of it

Tattoos often make people look cheap and unclean.

Stanley cups should only be used for throwing at people that carry them

Ignorance is often badly disguised as witty originality of thought.

Nuts should be banned from society given that they can kill those with allergies

No! I love nuts. As a vegetarian they are a great food resource. People ate them gladly in the past. Perhaps food allergies need looking at in a different way. Thinking about children and peanut allergies has already changed in the last few years. And I will say it is not a human right to eat out. The cost to everyone else for labelling this that and everything is too much.

Same. I have friends who seemed horrified. I no longer eat with them.

Ant and and Dec are out dated.

Salad doesn’t need a sauce or dressing it’s just salad.

coffee And tea are disgusting.

Garlic is not necessary.

The only interview I've ever seen of Epstein he was being harangued and interrupted by the interviewer so he hardly got a sentence out. When he did, he was very intelligent and a lot more courteous than the interviewer who was an utter arsehole.

They shouldn’t be allowed outside of personal use in the home!!

I should be able to go about my day without having to get the inhaler out because someone needs to eat a snickers in my presence 😪

These threads start with unpopular opinions about mayonnaise and by about page 2 or 3 you get racism and opinions about disability benefit claimants all being liars and autism isn’t real. Every time.

Autism is real but people are people and some will try to game the system. Given how many taxpayers that not in receipt of benefits are being screwed by Labour it's hardly surprising that statements about benefits claimants are likely to come out.

I've usually got some in my fridge. Next to the mayo.

Dogs should not be allowed in public spaces such as restaurants and pubs. Unless they are a service dog.

Agreed. And not in accommodation. Horrid. I don't take my cats away- now that would be a fur issue.

Stuff on Sarah Ravens website is hyped, overpriced and not worth it.
