What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Whenever people like you go this "its just biology/science!" route they always conveniently forget that the animals you're comparing us to aren't sapient and don't require the time for mental development that humans do. a sixth month old dog might be physically and mentally an adult but human psychological development doesn't end until about 23-25, our level of intelligence requires a longer incubation time.

You pretend biology is on your side by ignoring psychology entirely.

re: "human psychological development doesn’t end until about 23-25"

This is an urban myth. It has been thoroughly debunked.

re: "our level of intelligence requires a longer incubation time"

Your example was dogs. They reach adulthood in around 1 year. We take longer, yes, about 14 years.

Why do you want 14 yos to be adult so badly?

[-] TurboNewbe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Because he wants to fuck children.

I didn't want to accuse some stranger of that, but he makes it really hard not to think so.
