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/

MODERATORS
Thank you for making an actual unpopular opinion.
The only reason I would say for not doing this is because of how awkward it is to get excess butter/stuff off of a curved surface compared to a straight surface like a knife. Sometimes you have to break out another spoon or something else just to get it off, so you’re messing up twice the dishes. A knife just easily allows you to scrape off the excess.
I can't tell if you're mistakenly thinking we use the front of the spoon, which definitely would result in a lot of wasted stuck butter. Or if you just imagine it's way harder to spread it all off the curved surface than it is.
It’s a lot easier to get all the excess off of the curved surface than it is to twist the knife in a way to get it all off the knife.
