    It should be Chinese because that is the most common language on the planet. 😌

      Languages that aren’t American confuse me and I get scared when I’m confused.

      Luckily I have a gun to help with the fear.

    Yep, unpopular alright, even among all those of us who benefit most.

    But on the more positive side, Isn’t it amazing how well translation is becoming embedded everywhere? This is a huge technology improvement of the last couple years that deserves more attention!

    And from the synergy…. It wasn’t all that long ago that phones (or at least iOS) added text recognition from photos so _now it’s trivial to see a translation _. From a photo!

    Which one? The USofA as no official language. And apparently English is not even the most spoken language in it, by some recent surveys.

    Should we make Italian the official language for telephones? It was an italian that invented the technology that gave rise to it. No? Doesn’t really make much sense, does it? Or perhaps chinese should be the only writen language. After all, they did invent paper and popularized it as a writing medium.

    The american armed forces got to create the concept and kickstart it but the moment the technology is out, it belongs to no one and every one. Let’s all be collectively happy for that.

      No, but we absolutely need to all start answering our phones with “Ahoy-hoy”.

        Off the top of my head, I can answer the phone in half a dozen different ways in my language. And that is without going into rude or strange words for older people.

        I want my diversity of options.

      Does the U.S. have an official language?
      Yes. English was designated as the official language of the United States in an executive order on March 1, 2025.

      https://www.usa.gov/official-language-of-us

      And apparently English is not even the most spoken language in it, by some recent surveys.

      English 77%, Spanish 13.9%, other Indo-European languages 4.1%, Asian and Pacific languages 3.7%, other languages 1.3% (updated 2024 survey by the Census Bureau)

      American is the most spoken language in America and it’s not even close.

      78% of the population vs 13% for Spanish which is the second most spoken language.

            That’s such an American answer.

            And that’s coming from another American. God, we’re terrible sometimes.

      The sky is blue because it’s reflecting the ocean.

        The oceans migrate to the other side of the planet at night, which is why the sky turns orange late in the day. No more water to reflect!

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.


6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don’t expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
