        As a first responder, the 4th of July is the worst, NYE is 2nd, Halloween isn’t that bad. The teenager “devil’s night” shenanigans have never really been a thing in my area, but 9mm ‘fireworks’ are real, and they come down and hit people.

    Juneteenth being the “least favorite day” for 13% of people is… Very telling.

      It’s actually 14% and is the biggest negative percentage for any holiday, with only Super Bowl Sunday being close in terms of dislike at 13%.

      This country is so fucking racist.

        Yep, culturally juneteenth may not be super relevant to me. I still support it and don’t dislike it. Disliking it just seems weird. What’s to dislike? Right? Likewise MLK.

        Columbus though all my fellow first nations say fuck Columbus. And support everyone else in saying it.

      Superbowl Sunday has a similar negative number but I bet it’s a very different demographic. Big rise in domestic violence on Superbowl Sunday, but Juneteenth doesn’t harm anyone. Even if you’re not into it, you could easily ignore it, so the only reason to bitch about it is pure racism. Unless they’re butthurt about being reminded “your side lost.”

    Is this controlled for days the person has off of work?

      I bet Election Day would be a lot more popular if it really were a holiday, with most people off and extra pay for those who have to work.

    I’m surprised Thanksgiving is tied for the least disliked - it has a reputation for being trying.

      Might be a lot of people who won’t admit that they hate their family. Possibility not even to themselves.

      Alternatively, Lemmy skews the results towards us Millennials who don’t like their parents. I have one person in my circle of friends with a normal, healthy relationship with their parents.

    Why do the least and most add up to more than 100%?

        Id guess a decent amount of the least favorite day people are just the super lonely incel types, but youre also right lol
