Not every argument has to be a heated debate where intellects are measured and wits are counted. Some can be a joyous occasion and loads of fun! Don’t believe us? Then what about these funny, controversial topics Redditors mentioned on this glorious Reddit thread? Take a look, and it’ll change your perspective on good conversation topics forever. 

Okay, so, what the heck are we talking about here, and why did we mention ‘controversy’ and ‘fun’ in one paragraph? Hear us out - not every controversial conversation topic is about the ground rules of human existence or strong beliefs on the world’s order. Some cool topics are just as controversial but not as challenging to human nature itself. For instance, have you ever thought that cheese is actually a loaf of milk? Or wondered whether a bowl of cereal is technically a soup? See, now you get the gist! These fun topics are inherently controversial and also terrific amusement. So much so that you might be really tempted to offer them to your date or challenge your friends with them; either way, you’ll learn tons about your opponent and amuse them with your well-picked conversation topics. 

Be warned, though - the lower you scroll on this list of controversial things, the thicker the plot gets. Remember when we gave the example of cheese being a loaf of milk? Well, that’s just the beginning, as later on, these fun topics do delve into the darkest corner of weird and wonderful. 

Anyhoo, time to check out the funny, controversial topics that people shared on this AskReddit thread, don’t you think? They are just a tad bit below, and once you get there, rank these topics any way you like!

Wait, It’s Both?

Text on a pink background debates a funny controversial topic: toothbrush wetting before or after paste application. "Do you wet your toothbrush before or after applying the paste? Spoiler, the answer is before AND after."

I don’t. The light abrasion you feel against your teeth as you brush and your mouth produces saliva will aid well in plaque removal. My dentist actually told me dry brushing works better than wet brushing for that reason! I do also flossing use mouthwash regularly, so have had very few dental problems.

    I had homemade, woodfired, thin crust pizza made by an Italian man once and it was the best pizza I've ever had. I especially loved the olive oil, fetta and spinach one. Secondbest was a thick crust cauliflower gluten free base.

    The perfect amount is the amount that you can eat before it melts. This amount may vary person to person.

    An infinite amount. There is never too much ice cream. It is only too much once it is melted, and starts breaking the cone, so time is the only restriction on time, rather than volume of ice cream.

    Enough that the ice cream is pressed alllll the way down into the bottom of the cone, so that there is no lonely cone at the end.

    The actual recipe is different. There is a higher ratio of eggs to flour in waffles. . . I ate at a new waffle restaurant once. And it was painfully obvious that the people running it were just using a pancake recipe in their waffle iron. It was pretty awful.

    Not a favorite movie but favorite snl skit which is the Lunch Lady skit. We used to drive around as teenagers and listen to his comedy tapes so many of his songs are seared into my brain.

    some are worse than others. the best one is still garbage, though. I hold Sandler partially responsible for the constant dumbing-down of America.

    It has to be chairs. Think of how many chairs are in your house vs how many people. Now add all the schools, theaters, etc. easily chairs. But maybe I’m not considering underdeveloped parts of the world? It’s not like you have to be from a first world country to be able to sit down. It has to be chairs.

    I separate fiction from non-fiction. Fiction is shelved alphabetically by author, then alphabetically by title. Series are shelved chronological to one another, with the entire series being shelved alphabetically by series title within that author's catalog. Non-fiction I shelve by subject, then author, then chronologically. I hope that makes sense.

    I seperate them based on how “related” a book is. If I start putting books on the left side, then the books will start out as usually basic or for kids and then there’s the comics, then the funny books ranked from most to least funny and then the non-funny books and then non fiction books

    By author and then by title within the authors stuff for fiction. The exception being things like graphic novels. Those are usually by title. Most people don't know the individual authors of all the Spiderman runs for instance. And then nonfiction is by subject and then title if at a bookstore. Personally my non fiction collection was also by author because I knew who wrote each book and didn't have tons of books on one subject

    Airplane seats, small cars, and older buildings with low ceilings or stairs with low overhangs are a very good argument for being shorter. I'm only 5'11 but very long waisted and I can't even buy a Nissan car because I'm too tall sitting down to see out the windshield properly. Also I can't wear sun hats or other kinds of similar hats while sitting in a lot of vehicles. Obviously the hat thing is a very silly point but not fitting comfortably or safely in vehicles is at least worth mentioning.
