It is a little rude to post Popcorn

on a thread.
Even if you find the ops post pointless, entertaining or anything, it’s just obnoxious.

Well, the popcorn emoji is often used to signal that someone is anticipating drama or conflict in a conversation. It's like saying, 'Let's grab some popcorn and watch the show!' I just find it a bit obnoxious, but hey, to each their own! 😄

Ah, got it! So it's like a heads-up for potentially heated discussions. Thanks for explaining! I guess everyone has their way of navigating online conversations. 😊

Thanks for clarifying! I appreciate the insight, and no worries—I won't take it personally. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the matter.

Usually no one has to post it, any posters who have been here for a few month can tell you it will get heated.

Thats all that it means pretty much.

It’s emoji speak for “this is a controversial subject”. I don’t think it’s rude but I can see why an op doesn’t appreciate it.

It's emoji speak for "this is controversial and I'm here for the entertainment".

After having first only read the subject title, I thought you were going to give us a PSA about bugs in popcorn! Very Happy

I interpret it as more than just a controversial topic.

I interpret it as being a topic that has been come up many times and so the OP must know that it is going to end up being a feces show because historically the thread devolves into one.

And also it generally is pointless.

Or a warning to be careful not to choke.

I also thought it would be a warning not to let little tykes have popcorn and wondered why it was under entertainment.
