Non white people,sadly.
Tonic water
What really surprised me is learning how much people hate it when I drink tonic water. I’m not going to spit it directly in your mouth, friendo. I just want a drink of interesting water.
Yeah I get what you mean. It feels like Here, look! They’ve shown their true colors! They’re the reason this thing is for sale, here, we found one, right here!
Ready Player One. It wasn’t the best book I’ve ever read but I enjoyed it.
My take on that was it made pedantry about nostalgia into a superpower and I knew too many people that act like it’s that way IRL to like the characters.
Same. It’s clearly by an inexperienced author but the story and moment-to-moment storytelling was neat.
Even the movie was great IMO, clever way of modernizing the components of the novel for the audience the movie was intended for.
The novel is already fairly modern, and they just totally reworked the story in ways it didn’t need to be while also making the protagonists get into trouble by doing stupid shit instead of making the villains more intelligent or one step ahead, so that’s always a net loss for me.
Didn’t like the movie but I actually enjoyed the book and all the 80-90’s references in it.
If you haven’t already go get Reamde by Neil Stephenson. Slightly similar but less campy vibe - also enjoyed.
In line with the inspiration for the question: Cars 2
I liked the first one and thought the second one was also lots of fun. I liked the visuals / in-universe elements, and thought it was decent for a kid’s spy movie. It was one of my favourite family movies at the time.
Turns out almost everyone hates it?
I never got this either. My niece would rather run around and play games while it was on so we never really sat and watched it all the way through, but she would play it on repeat and I thought it was fun
Streaming videos on my phone using speaker for audio while at the restaurant eating lunch. I figured for sure, everyone would want to get in on that awesome stand-up comedy action or zany talk show that I enjoy with my meal. It turns out that (gasp!) some people even think it’s rude…LOL.
To those people who say you can’t express sarcasm over text.
Fucking really? Can you not see it here either?
Are you telling me that people do like it when play videos out loud during my lunch?
Only the ones so dense that they’re unable to sense sarcasm in text format.

Or just get pissed because you included the “/s”
No, I hate that. Standup comedy is so overrated, what I want to hear is your phone call!
I really only want to hear 1/2 of a phone conversation
There’s a segment on a podcast I listen to that is all about conversations without context, and half of phone conversations are a common feature.
The hosts will mention some they’ve encountered over the week since their last recording, and people will call in to share the ones they hear. Always a good chuckle.
I’d rather a hundred of those than some kid with mommy’s iPhone watching brainrotting Youtube Kids videos all day with the sound on. At least then I won’t feel bad for the kid.
JFC. Sometimes people visit us with kids and it’s just arrive > open youtube > commence rot > spice it up 9yo twerking.
My partner is pregnant with our first child. I get the convenience of free child distraction, I also get that I might find myself doing exactly this in several years, but honestly I really hope I can find ways to at least minimise this. It just seems so Orwellian or… wall-e-ian.
I swear my kids are probably going to hate me because I’ll be the most boring dad around that forces kids to play outside instead of doing all the fun stuff.
I’m sure they only do this while “mummy is visiting” and it doesn’t happen at home.
I think it’s fine in moderation and when it’s some manually curated service like the children’s section of streaming platforms (but even then it’s not perfect considering Cocomelon exists), or in the case of YouTube you’re watching it WITH your kid to avoid running into anything weird (though I think any platform meant for content aimed towards children should be 100% manually curated). The problem is when it’s excessive or it winds up sending your five year old down a bizarre rabbithole of pregnant Spiderman twerking videos because you didn’t bother to moderate what they were watching.
I guess so. Everything in moderation.
Me
Same. I’m surprised when people hate me because I expect to be completely ignored. I have a very mild version of self loathing. I think I’m boring, unremarkable, etc. So, when people hate me (or are interested in me) it surprises me.
I don’t really mind if people don’t like me though I do kind of find it interesting as I keep to myself and not cause conflict with others.
I am completely thrown if someone takes interest in me though. It’s like, why? Does your lack of information about me make me mysterious or something? Because what you see here is what I am.
Now I hate you too, so that you stop being surprised. Truth is, the world is a messy jungle and there are many pricks. Not everyone is to be liked.
Snap on Ubuntu. I totally did not comprehend that it was proprietary; I just thought it was convenient, like apt.
I didn’t know that, but I already disliked it because installed apps don’t really integrate in the system (eg: file system access, themes).
Even Ubuntu installs this way something as basic as Firefox, what the fuck? At least I managed to get rid of the snap version and install it properly.
Ahh, I hate Snap so much. It actually what drove me to switch to Arch (btw). It was just so annoying going to install something and having it try to pull in snap and all its dependencies… And of course, if you don’t want Snap you have to deal with the inconvenience of finding another way to install the app.
There are reasons to dislike Snap on principle and also very practical reasons. It liked randomly preventing the system from shutting down. Installing a new OS on a slow or unreliable internet connection and want a browser? How about we install Snap and then tell to download that thing and maybe a bunch of random internal dependencies with no visible progress and unreliable error handling? Get it away from me.
1991 Hook with Robin Williams. I love that movie, but it seems that most people I encounter that didn’t grow up with it think it’s lame and boring.
So maybe not hate, but not love either.
RUFIOOOOOO
Didn’t realize people didn’t like it.
This is news to me. I was too cool for everything at the time and still enjoyed it.
RU FI OOOOOOO
Ayy!
This is one that I liked as a kid but doesn’t hold up as an adult.
The 2016 Feig-directed Ghostbusters film. Like, it’s not a masterpiece but it’s still an enjoyable film.
It has a 49% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, so about half of people seem to agree with you.
As a stand-alone film, it is probably fine. As an entry in the Ghostbusters franchise, I did not enjoy the film.
Same. I thought it was actually quite enjoyable. Too long in the opening parts in particular, but once it gets going it has a lot of really funny moments.
Plus, as much as I could say “It could have been better”, I will also have to concede that given the modern Ghostbusters, fuck could it have been worse. 😅 Overall, pretty damn good.
Soggy cereal. That’s how I ate is as a kid and how my siblings did as well, mostly. No one ever said it was gross or the “wrong” way, until I got a bit older and found out that pretty much everyone hates it.
I can’t stand dry cereal lol.
There are dozens of us! I hate dry or crunchy cereal. Soggy cereal is best cereal
The Last Jedi.
I left the theater on opening night thrilled with what I saw. I couldn’t wait to go online and read all the positive reactions and theories for the next one… Whelp.
Same. I’ve found it helps to just not look at what general purpose “fans” have to say about pretty much anything. It’s always gonna be a hatefest.
In my experience the most hateful fans are the TLJ fans. The whole “people that don’t like this brilliant masterpiece are stupid idiots” thing is rampant.
Ever try to have a conversation about Rise of Skywalker on the internet? Most interesting of all of the Star Wars movie and conversation about it gets jammed by non-stop hateful spam.
I mean… opinions can be wrong…
i commented the same exact thing then saw this comment lol. was very polarizing to see. its still my top 3 star wars films
It remains one of my favorite SW movies.
Android
Honestly if every brand would stop making their own shitty launchers and filling their phones with bloatware this would mostly not happen anymore I think. Pure Android on Google Pixel phones is hands down better than every other version.
It is only bad in the sense that it could be so much more, but it certainly is the best we have for phones atm.
Only cheap and shallow people hate Android. These people are not worth spending time with. There is no legitimate reason to hate Android.
Sunny weather. Living in Ireland, the sun is ALWAYS a welcome respite from the constant dull rainy shite.
Too much sun has made me sick before. Like, just bright coming through the window has made me need to sit in a dark room for twenty minutes to stop feeling sick.
I like not feeling sick.
I lived in rural Wales for a while so I know this feeling. Growing up in England I thought I knew about rain before but on the Cambrian Coast it rains sideways.
other races
Yea as a European I don’t get into IndyCar and nascar sorry.
Yeah only Nascar for me. Horses are stoopud
Same as dog races - dogs are ugly af aswell

Rush. The band. Almost nobody in my high school liked them. In the 80s even.
I couldn’t stand Rush in the 80’s as I was listening to Zeppelin and Hendrix and they seemed pop-py to me. Then I started listening to them again in the 00s and really enjoyed them. Tastes change I guess.
What? LIVING IN THE LIMELIGHT, THE UNIVERSAL DREEEAAAAMMMMM.
I may or may not own most of the Rush records. I’m that weird millennial with a vinyl collection/system you could buy a decent car with…
All Rush. All the time. No exceptions.
deleted by creator
I absolutely hate rush. Their songs all sound like they’re trying way too hard and they’re all playing a different song.
I see zero appeal in any of their stuff. There are no real hooks and everything is just some ultra deep vibe that I can never get into.
Name the last time you couldn’t get a rush song out of ur head…

I got teased like I think I still have PTSD. They just weren’t cool or too nerdy in my hometown. Stuff like Motley Crüe and Poison and Guns N’ Roses. That’s where it was at, which wasn’t my thing. I was into Yes and Tull and Crimson.
I really can’t stand Geddy Lee’s voice. So, for me, their best song is YYZ 😅
