Inspired by a clip I just saw on Instagram.

Deep breath.

Here goes.

Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

Oh here’s one my daughter told me last week.

People who park badly should lose their license. 🤣 I think it’s a great idea tbh.

She would rule this country with an iron fist 😄

Yessssss!
although with a dollop of Greek yog and some seeds it fills you right up!

Porridge is horse feed and it makes my poo sticky

Oh, an unpopular opinions thread. Let's sit back and wait for the influx of racists, anti-semites, benefits bashers, disability bashers, fat shamers, thin shamers ... three, two, one ...

There are too many woke, closed down, smug posters on MN.
Discussion is the way to approach areas of dissent, not closing people down or ‘cancelling’ them.

Christmas lights should stay up all year (can be turned off for a month in the summer but switched back on again by mid August)

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.

Guess that makes raping children okay then 🙄

I was out on my bike today and a car went past me, and the stench of weed coming out of the window was shocking.

😝

They already come last, don't worry!

Teanbiscuits33 · 06/02/2026 22:40

Talking of men, here’s another of mine. Very few men are attractive past 30. Maybe that’s testament to where I live or something but I feel like I fancied a lot more people when I was in my 20s and it went right downhill after 🤣

"the most vulnerable" should come last in public policy not first

I don't think you've thought that through.

The most vulnerable people are children, if you think their safety, care, health and education etc shouldn't be prioritised in public policy, I'm not sure what you should be ahead of them?

Porridge doesn't fill you up. I'm starving again by 10am.

Add a small spoon of peanut butter to it.
And a spoon of mixed seeds

Bring on the Branston!

Tableforjoan · 06/02/2026 22:42

All baked beans are gross. Sorry not sorry.

Watching sports is unbearably boring

lazybone1 · 06/02/2026 22:43

Mumsnet needs more posters under 50.

dreamiesformolly · 06/02/2026 22:43

Christmas does not end until twelfth night.
People are too obsessed with food these days.
Children should not always come first.

actually agree with this. FASD is massively underdiagnosed, which doesn't even make sense as it has subtle - but distinctive - visible traits

Would you mind sharing more info? I suspect my DSD has this (mother died of alcoholism). I didn't think it always had visible, physical traits...

Sorry, derailing slightly.

My opinion:

People who keep XL bullies in a house with kids deserve a call from social services. Those dogs should be banned from all homes with children under 18.

The beatles are boring

And The Beatles is actually a really shit name for a band, we've just got used to it.

I know, it was a joke name, because they played beat music. A joke name.

Matcha tastes disgusting, and I don't believe anyone actually likes it.

Hadrian's wall should be rebuilt just south of Stoke.

A lot of people in real life are incredibly complacent about child abuse and most don't see it as their responsibility to do anything - massive bystander effect. You'd be really suprised what supposedly trustworthy adults can know about whilst looking the other way because it doesn't suit them to rock the boat

The problem is even when people do report child abuse nothing gets done. I was abused by parents as a child, an adult reported it but social services just dgaf. Reporting it doesn't do anything and what else are bystanders supposed to do?

Hedgehogforshort · 06/02/2026 22:45

Dog owners are generally annoying

Do you think that's an unpopular opinion?
I would say it's very popular.

Ant and Dec are just really annoying.

Oh yes. Thought I was the only one …
