** Speaking of ''T.Rex'' the predator vs scavenger debate has been going on for decades. Then there's the [[TakeAThirdOption view that it did both depending on what was available and catchable at the moment]]

* iPhone vs. Android. iPhone users are stereotyped by Android users as being pretentious rich folks who only buy iPhones because of the Apple brand, while Android users are dissed by iPhone users are being too poor to get "good" phones. The arguments over preferred phones is often very reminiscent of UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars. Of course, it's generally a VocalMinority who are really defensive about their phone preferences and try to poo-poo the other camp; the SilentMajority tend to just quietly pick one over the other and not try to break friendships or cause flamewars over their choices.

* In UsefulNotes/{{Montreal}}, two bagel shops, of all things, have a rivalry going on: St-Viateur and Fairmount. Although it's generally agreed that they're the top two places for bagels in Montreal, the debate over which one deserves the top spot is quite heated, with supporters being fiercely loyal to one or the other.
* FriendingNetwork (i.e. social media) websites have this, often to a degree where going on one such website and admitting to using a rival website can get you snubbed by your friends on the site you posted at:
** Website/{{Facebook}} vs Website/TwitterX: Until Twitter raised its character limit from 140 characters to 280[[note]]although Unicode multibyte characters still use up 2 characters[[/note]], that character limit was what made Facebook users turn their noses up, on top of Twitter's reputation for being a source of celebrity gossip and opinions considered terrible, as well as the stereotype of Twitter users tweeting about every single moment, including [[TooMuchInformation when they're on the toilet]]. Twitter users in turn see Facebook as a wretched hive of [[GrumpyOldMan grumpy old folks]] and arguments in the comments of public posts and dislike the idea of having to use their legal name to maintain a Facebook account (''especially'' transgender users, privacy-minded users, and stalking victims), which also means being obligated to add family members who have accounts there too.
** Twitter vs Mastodon: Mastodon was developed as an alternative to Twitter that is both open-source and also isn't a singular website but rather a federation of independently-operated servers that use the same protocol. Naturally, this means a lot of its userbase refer to Twitter as "hellsite" or [[MaliciousMisnaming "Shitter"]] and want nothing to do with it or anyone who continues to use it. Twitter users in kind find Mastodon to be too confusing to use due to its decentralized nature, and those who put in the effort to establish an account there find themselves disgusted by what they perceive to be technological elitism from the Mastodon community and annoyed by features that are deliberately missing for the sake of protecting users (such as a full-featured text search).
