What's the most unpopular post on Lemmy?

I'm anti-pro-ai. It has use cases. It's helped me find and remember songs, movies, odd bits of info I have tried over and over again through the years to figure out but had too few details to find using traditional search. And search got ruined by seo which eventually made my quests fruitless

The ai that got put onto my phone is like the search on my browser but helped me actually whittle out something obscure I otherwise haven't been able to

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Gold

I had an ex who couldn't fathom why in a walking dead/fallout scenario I'd personally not choose to trade with gold, but actual useful and tangible goods like food, ammo, salt, skills...

Their whole argument was gold has always been valuable so it'll always be valuable and I was like "the fuck good would gold do me when I'm starving"

What's the worst present you've ever received?

About 20 years ago

I went to my family Christmas with my then-partner. I got a Grinch onesie from my family

We then attended my partner's family Christmas where basically the entire living room was stuffed with presents for the kids (my partner and their siblings). My then-partner complained about how the siblings all got more $$ worth of presents. I pointed out that I got a pair of pjs for Christmas. The reply: "it's not about the dollar amount, it's just they got more than me" (paraphrased)

I hated that present. A fucking onesie? It was such a disappointing present, and for a long time I used it as an example for questions just like this

I kept it and wore it. Eventually I lost the bitterness and started to cherish it even. Which is why I still wear it regularly this time of year! It's quite warm.. plus, it has pockets!

I take umbrage at this statement:

2020's: Israel and the Jews

I hear what you're saying and see the point you're overall trying to make; but please rework it so you're not lumping "The Jews" into the actions of Israel

There are many Jewish people against the actions of Israel and abhor the thought of exterminating anyone/anything

I do agree with your last statement. I had a gossamer support of Israel which has radically changed in recent years. I see the current actions of Israel as no different than their oppressors
