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/

I like winter. Snow is great. (ani.social)

The perks of winter:

it is easier to keep warm during winter than it is to keep cool in the summer
get to wear more clothings which means more pockets to carry things
all the hell spawned insects go into hibernation
everything layered in a blanket of snow glistens and sparkles.
can build stuff with snow so easily
unpleasant people are deterred or avoid going out as they are bitter about the snow so less likely to encounter them in the winter.
the weaklings rely more on help as they are not strong enough for winter
can do more exercising without overheating

You forgot one perk that I really like.

The snow is sound dampening, everything is just much quieter in winter (as an added benefit to there just being less noise generating things going on)

Yeah, I take walks outside so much more in the winter, it's Autism-friendly season. Lol. Well, at least those of us that are hypersensory, for the hyposensory folks, I suppose I could see them liking the opposite, as they tend to do.

Although snowmobiles and gas-powered snow tools are pretty popular around here, so I gotta take my walks at night still anyway. 2 stroke engines are the bane of a quiet contemplative stroll.
