I’m almost certain you could come up with a logical proof that shows that there is something that can be agreed upon by everyone, but it’s late so I’m not gonna put thought into it right now. Maybe next time I take a shower, though.
At the same time there COULD be a thing everyone agrees on, we just have no way of knowing or checking. And once someone starts checking, someone will change their opinion just out of spite.
I’m going to say ‘gravity’. If you hand a valuable heavy item to someone, they will all position their hands under it, or grasp it in such a way as to keep it from falling down. No one will grasp it in such a way as to prevent it from falling up…
There are many ideals that cannot be denied. Security is desired over fear. Meaning is desired over doubt. Love is desired over spite. Silence can be peaceful. Silence can be deafening. Hope is instinctual, yet the hopeless are not mistaken. God can exist, but cannot be concieved in totality. Toast is not cold bread. Hunger is not fun
“I think therefore I am.“ is something that everyone can agree on, even if they say they aren’t thinking because “not thinking“ is also a thought. Your thoughts?
Maybe! But this is an epistemological problem (i.e. within the scopes of the limitations of knowledge). So it sounds great, but this claim is, ironically, as unfalsifiable as ‘You can’t prove that God doesn’t exist’.
So now, to steer into the annoying role that I am taking on, let me say “I disagree”
This thought gets worse when you try and prove it wrong with basic things, like the planet being called earth there’s many who believe it to be some weird ass jank super planet, another is that we’re humans, some people believe we aren’t humans and are some special alien species, another is that we need oxygen, but some believe all we need is sun light, the more basic the idea is the worse this thought becomes because there’s always a wack job who has some straight up nonsense beliefs
How about this: people who drive slow or reckless can never supply an actual answer to their behavior. And no one can list five good reasons why Trump is a good person.

Most people agree that one apple plus one apple is two apples.
I agree that nothing can be agreed upon
Everyone would agree that getting your hand chopped off is painful
I disagree with that.
Everyone who thinks, at least agrees that they exist
That whoever is able to decide on agreeing is alive
I think we all agree that boobs is pretty cool.
Can we all agree that James Cordon is a bit of a nob?
We can all agree that every living person will die

Lets agree to disagree

Mosquitos are assholes
Black ants good, red ants bad
one word: monitor lizards
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just like, your opinion, man.
We all agree that the milk goes in after the teabag comes out though right? Right?

In our universe?
Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen
That we die? Who disagrees with that?
Everyone agrees Casey Anthony is a horrible person who got away with murder.
I’ve never seen someone say otherwise.
Idk, fosters beer sucks, the one universal truth
Yes there is! And fuck you!!!!
So, someone will disagree this post
Everyone agrees that there are things not everybody agrees upon.
We all have the ability to agree or disagree
Everything in the universe is either a duck or not a duck.
Indeed…. But we can discount those that reside in the extremities of the Bell-curve, because facts are just that.
The Earth is round, except for some intellectually challenged people.
All people die, except for… Well…. Quite a few.
Water is wet…
We need food, water and air to survive…
Unfortunately we pander to the shouts of a few, to the detriment of many, especially when the few dispute facts…
Look up radical constructivism

Who loves having cancer then?
I think we all agree that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Difficult to disagree with that.
Taxes are important but I hate them.
Laughter is agreed upon as “happy” worldwide in every single culture
What about, “there are thoughts/experiences”?
Most people agree they have or had a mother
With the exception of this statement.
Food/water is what sustains life
Nothing to agree with. It’s all made up.
Pretty sure we all agree that while on planet earth the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening.
We all agree that we all need oxygen and water to live
Everyone’s mom had sex at least once. Pretty hard not to agree there.
Breathing is necessary to remain alive. People who don’t agree with this don’t remain in disagreement for long.
“I think therefore I am.“ is something that everyone can agree on, even if they say they aren’t thinking because “not thinking“ is also a thought. Your thoughts?
Mods on Reddit are generally more annoying than helpful. Prove me wrong

Including this statement haha

Unity is a myth. Even pineapple on pizza has a fanbase and a hate group.
If we stop breathing, we will die. Everyone agree?
That’s because stupid and crazy people exist.
Everyone agrees that they are currently alive ?
Maybe something absolutely specific like, maybe we’ll all agree that numbers are not astronaut carrots
Don’t we all agree on time? 60 sec = 1 minute
It could be this that we all agree on…
I think everyone agrees that 1+1=2.
I’m pretty sure Ted Cruz is universally hated
Wrong. Everyone knows that stepping on a LEGO brick defines the 10 on the pain scale. Nice try though!
I DISAGREE……….wait, shit.
How about this: people who drive slow or reckless can never supply an actual answer to their behavior. And no one can list five good reasons why Trump is a good person.
If the universe had a group chat, it would be 99% arguments over pineapple on pizza and 1% existential dread.
We all agree a big flaming ball of heat exists which lights up our planet.
