Tomato sauce on pizza. Every other component of pizza is controversial in some way, and cheese-sauces are sometimes preferred, but a seasoned tomato base is uncontroversial.I am OUTRAGED by this when barbecue sauce or creme fresche are both superior.
(I kept thinking "but mushrooms? or spinach?" and having to remember that mushrooms can be "icky" and spinach is too bitter for some people. I think some people even dislike green peppers!)
Blue is a colour, and the sky is that colour.
About that... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_water)
Any topic can be uncontroversial if you are brave enough.

Why is forum necromancy controversialIt can get out of hand very quickly, like an undead cascade
Cogito ergo sum (I think, therefore I am)
Why is forum necromancy controversialMostly because it gives people false hope of meaningful new activity. It's a fairly major poke to the eye to see a well liked thread that had fallen off due to inactivity pop back up with a new post, and it turns out it's just some random asshole bumping it with nothing of substance to bring up. Folks tend to dislike that, some rather intensely.
Different plants grow better on different soil types, so if you could talk to plants, you might hear them talk about why their soil type is better than the other soil types.I do not know if this answered your question or notIs dirt controversial?LOAMY SOIL GANG GANG

Water is essential for life as we currently know it
If this is controversial, name a real organism that doesn’t require water. I said life as we know currently, fire type or ghost type pimemon are not counting since they’re fictional
I suppose "I" is a mind (or person?) described by the phrase "it me". There are a lot of notable things the statement doesn't claim. It doesn't claim that that the subject is human (or even capable of speech or any form of communication). It doesn't claim that other minds exist (or are truly apart), leading to countless solipsists and omnisoul believers.Cogito ergo sum (I think, therefore I am)
What do you mean by 'I"? And are the two uses in the above quotation really equivalent?
This is a controversial idea: "This is a controversial idea."
I think... not.You're only proving my point!!
What is a Godel? What typing is it?This is a controversial idea: "This is a controversial idea."

It is dependent on the subject actually thinking though. A fictional character can speak the phrase, and be described as a great thinker, but they do not actually think. (Lots of things exist without thinking, but fictional characters do not. Characters who are thought to be fictional might exist, though, in which case they are not truly fictional)
Still, I thought (or did I?) of a less controversial version to satisfy the most pedantic solipsist:
You think, therefore you are.
This is a controversial idea: "This is a controversial idea.""Ce n'est pas une idée controversée"
Potato!
"I do not think therefore I follow" This is a fistpunch.I thought this is a thrall

Uncontroversial idea: ever since the dawn of man, gravity has weighed on his heart
Said primordial ooze was probably nuclei acids and phospholipids and ribosomes and such before they became members Ed and parts of cells, also ribosomes are essentially long RNA complexes that make proteins, which I find fascinatingUncontroversial idea: ever since the dawn of man, gravity has weighed on his heart
Man has not evolved one step beyond the primordial ooze that spawned him.
git that controversial idea right outta here, sirUncontroversial idea: ever since the dawn of man, gravity has weighed on his heart

Evolution is more of a gradient, not steps, so he’s right in a waygit that controversial idea right outta here, sirUncontroversial idea: ever since the dawn of man, gravity has weighed on his heart

Evolution is controversial to some people, there for it doesn't belong here!Just because you think circles=triangles doesn’t make shapes controversial, by this same vein, just because some people don’t understand heredity doesn’t mean evolution is fake or controversial. Also, if the Earth is as you say, a square, do you know how wide that square would have to be? And how shallow the ground would be? If you think the Earth has corners, wouldn’t you be better off saying it had infinite corners? And thus, no corners, thus making it a spheroid, like it actually is? We know the shape of the Earth is a spheroid, with it being very slightly wider at the equator than it would be if it was a perfect sphere due to…rotation speed, I think? The “controversy” if it could be called that, is whether such a shape has no corners or infinitely many corners
Also the Earth is obviously a square!

That was earth in the closed alpha, we used to say the earth is fair and square. But if if you want reminisce about that I advise to take the discussion to the gold member section.
Oh don’t worry, get the silver one instead, you readily receive more electricity and thieves are less likely to come to your house since go,d players pay more and are thus assumed to be richerBut I can't afford to a gold member subscription.Also the Earth is obviously a square!

Dwarf Fortress is a single-player fantasy game.
But is it tho?
is milk controversial? the liquid that is. I humbly submit it to the thread.
I mean yeah it's fairly controversial that like half of the biomass of all mammals is cows, that we keep pregnant throughout their life, to flood the market with a heavily subsidized product that isn't all that precious in your diet besides maybe a few slices of cheese and a creamy sauce a day. There is layers of controversy here hell there is even white supremacists groups that drink milk as a symbol, because caucasian types tend to be less lactose intolerant statistically.Yeah this.
Sorry to ruin milk, I don't even get angry at milk like a good controversy but it is what it is.

//Discourse addition//Not necessarily. 1st, much of the land that cattle are raised on is not really suitable for much else - either because the soil is wrong, the rain isn't reliable, or because the hail storms are reliable. 2nd, much of our fertile farm land that we do grow crops on were made that way by great herds of ruminants and vast flocks of birds - and our constant mono-culture farming of that land is not sustainable even with "fertilizer". Ideally, we should renew those lands the same way nature created them.
Also, wouldn't animal husbandry just be bad in general? The amount of land needed to raise and graze cattle specifically is insane... not to mention that cows are friend-shaped and many farms are pretty nasty (but I guess thats the nature of farming in many cases)
So you want to abolish anything less than direct democracy? Your organization exception sounds like a giant loophole screaming abuse me.
re-edit: man I have weird idiosynchracies in what spelling I choose, sometimes spelling the same word both in british and in american in the same sentence.If it makes you feel any better, sometimes I do that, too. It's usually an intentional thing, though.
then you should stop, because this is the uncontroversial ideas thread.
Has anyone ever opposed sliced bread before?
Has anyone ever opposed sliced bread before?I can guarantee you that some bakers out there have complained about big bread putting small bakers like them out of business with this new fangled sliced bread.
We need to protect the egg.But a controversy might arise because our choice of how to prepare the egg!
Our future survival is dependent on us serving the egg.
Pre-sliced bread makes people lazy and complacentI can imagine someone at some point has said this but I've yet to encounter one. Even those I know who prefer slicing their own bread, have not found any issue with sliced bread. One day perhaps I will seek out and find this person who dwells in whole loaves
Has anyone ever opposed sliced bread before?They definitely did back when it was first introduced, and has since caught more specific shade when it firmly became part of lower income diets. There's folks out there, right now, that will turn their nose up at sliced bread.
If sandwich heresy is delicious, it's not really heresy :P
If sandwich heresy is delicious, it's not really heresy :P
Temptacious heresy is still heresy! Do not give in!
It's not that it's a heresy against taste like what deluded fools claim ananas on pizza to be... It's that sandwiches are defined by the bread! Without the bread, no matter the deliciousness, it cannot be a sandwich -- it is simply another kind of delicious meal
I think because the fried chicken has too much chicken to bread ratio, it can't be bread. If there was however 90% breadcrumbs to chicken ratio, that may be bread

Omitting the falling asleep and waking up parts, sleep is generally pretty tolerable.You'd be surprised how many people I've met view sleep as some hostile obstacle and not sweet repose
It would be a lot nicer if it didn't come with awful dreams all the time and waking up covered in cold sweat four or five times a night

Like the time invested? Or the troubles getting in an out of it? I don't like changing state: if I'm awake I prefer to stay awake, if I'm sleeping I prefer to remain sleeping. But as mentionned it's unusual to take offense of the act itself.No they get offended by sleeping, as if it some weakness to be excised from the human body

-1 imaginary untracked internet point for you because you got someone to disagree with you
The world desperately needs a superhero to get society on the same page on where we actually are as a civilization. Or supervillain. Or super fucking something, fuck you, get with the fucking timesI personally think that it's bad when bad people do bad things,and would be worse if said bad people also had magical abilities. Considering that have very reasonable reason to object to your idea, it is a controversial idea and you lose 1 imaginary internet point.
We already have a supervillain, his name is Putin.+1

Being a shape-shifter would be rad as hell tbhCould be, would be the uncontroversial formulation. Some shapeshifters are staggeringly unrad :P
Pain comes from pain neurons being intact.It probably would, sure. That's somewhere in the radish flesh horror zone, though :P
Flesh horror that changes the body deep enough would actually be less painful due to destruction of pain sensors.
Got any examples of something which you'd define as a flesh horror (as opposed to more standardized/limited shapeshifters such as werewolves) where being one isn't rad?
Sounds like people just want to become the Thing and live in Antarctica and eat scientists....you say that like it's a bad thing.

People probably taste as awful as they act. Look how greasy the average American is.
You probably could get drunk off that stuff given how much alcohol some of those people drink.People probably taste as awful as they act. Look how greasy the average American is.
Well, you could instead live in a nice Castle in Europe and drink European blood.

I would be perfectly content to live in the forest with big feet and eat scientists.Just think what kind of scientists you'd be getting though. Entomologists. Ecologists. Mycologists. You really want to eat those sorts?

You're basically saying lobster, fresh veggies, and shrooms, there. I'm pretty sure plenty of folks would, in fact, want to eat those sorts.Unless you're an expert, you shouldn't collect scientists from the wild, as you may not be able to tell a toxic one from a non-toxic one
