Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

While I suppose it could be good to reset the caffeine addiction (it takes 3 weeks), three cups of black coffee is generally healthy. In fact, the mayo clinic (and many other sources/studies show that drinking coffee daily may help with preventing Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, including liver cancer, heart attack, and stroke. Plus it's an antioxidant and helps you shit regularly.
There are some risks as well, but less of them and they're more like possible issues that you may want to stop drinking coffee for if you have any of the symptoms.
So if you're a "coffee addict", at least your addiction is making you live longer and healthier.
And the massive coffee industry pumps out these studies every year. Don’t forget how energy drinks like Red Bull with lower caffeine density will kill you.. don’t you dare quit or switch.
You're one of those anti vaxxer conspiracy theorists, aren't you? Your kids all scarred up with the measles yet? Big pharma just wants you to buy their shot of snake oil!
You’re a coffee drinker, it’s ok to be offended. That’s the withdrawal. Try to find credible, verifiable, reproducible evidence to justify how many times we hear about the “health benefits” of coffee. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
