When people don’t believe in facts, you can try to explain to them the science behind it, but you will not necessarily succeed and there is no point in arguing. People like to do that anyway. Sometimes it’s very important, such as when it comes to huge topics like vaccination, and it’s actually useful to make the other person see it your way, but other times it’s just small little things like usage of a word or food preference.
Even though these are small things when looking at the big picture, people are wholeheartedly convinced in them and we all probably have an opinion about an insignificant thing that doesn’t coincide with what the majority thinks. It actually reveals the way you think, so Reddit user FunWithAPorpoise asked people what are their smallest hills that they’ll die on.
This fun thread went a bit viral on Reddit with almost 34k upvotes and nearly 26k people got involved in the conversation, sometimes pointing out valid truths and in other cases making you want to argue with them.

Those new LED headlights should be banned. They might make the owner safer but not other drivers as they drive into f**king ditches because they were blinded by Klieg lights masquerading as car lights.

You should always use your signals when turning or changing lanes. If you don't, you're just lazy and the worst. Communicate what you plan to do with your screaming metal death trap before you are in the process of doing it!

Tall burgers completely nullify all the benefits of burgers, and are an abomination unto cuisine.
A good burger is the perfect portable food. It should be edible using only your hands and mouth,without cutlery, and without making too much mess.
You should also be able to sample every layer of ingredient in one bite, without dislocating your jaw

Returning a shopping cart is not that hard. It's the least you can do when utilizing a service.

Kids can be annoying. You’re allowed to think someone’s kid is annoying. You don’t have to tell the kid or their parents. But you can distance yourself if you want.
You don’t have to tolerate any kid if you don’t want to is what I’m getting at.

It’s “couldn’t care less” and not “could care less”.. this shouldn’t even be a question but you’d be surprised how many people are willing to die on the could care less hill.

Fantasy football is just DND for people who like sports. Dressing up to go the Stadium is sports cosplay.

It's not a hot water heater. It's a water heater.
In real life I would never correct someone who says hot water heater when they're talking about their water heater, but it sure has been fun to do it here! Thanks for the awards and the most upvotes I've ever received and especially thanks for keeping this very important debate fun and civil!

Carpet flooring in bathrooms trigger me :/ just don’t put a carpet in a bathroom. A bath mat is fine so you don’t slip when you get out the shower but not the whole carpet floor

Macaroons are not macarons. One has coconut, and one is a sandwich cookie.

If you don't like being around others you're not "anti-social", you're asocial. Anti-social is the Joker.
Incredibly petty and meaningless but this always bothers me for some reason
