Finding The Least Controversial Blog Post Idea

The internet is a nightmare.

Everywhere you look, someone is trying to say something—loudly, aggressively, with at least one quote tweet in mind. The hot takes. The cold takes pretending to be hot. The absolutely unasked-for 30-part threads about vibes as praxis.

And for what?

Some engagement? A like or two? Maybe a comment from a guy with a wolf in his profile picture saying “this 💯”?

Boring. Annoying. Trashy.

So let’s pivot. Let’s be different. Let’s spread some positivity and use AI for good. Let’s talk about blog posts that are so non-controversial, so aggressively non-threatening, they could be used to sedate group chats or lower your heart rate.

Let’s go.

I'm gonna need some blog post ideas. But we can't get too crazy with them. Need something that isn't going to rock any boats or cause any issues. What are some of the least controversial blog post ideas?

Absolutely—if you’re looking to keep things smooth and drama-free, here are some safe, low-controversy blog post ideas that should steer well clear of trouble while still being useful or engaging:

• “5 Things That Instantly Boost My Mood”
• “What I’ve Learned From Keeping a Plant Alive for a Year”
• “My Morning Routine (That Actually Works for Me)”
• “A Love Letter to My Favorite Coffee Mug”
• “Weekend Rituals That Make Me Feel Human”

Hrm, that's not bad, but I can still see some potential issues.

Let's see, idea 1 is a little too toxic positivity. Depending on the angle it could also force consumerism and show off class privilege depending on how it's written.

The plant idea can be seen as personifying the plants and trivializing the real caregiving for people. There's also the concern of gentrificaion cues with houseplants having become a symbol within instagram culture for such.

Idea 3: morning routine, puts pressure on specific lifestyles as well as wellness elitism. Number 4 with favorite coffee mug shows materialism with emotional attachment to objects, a potentially problematic view of pushing caffeine and creating an identity around drinking specifc beverages.

And the fifth idea: weekend rituals, pushes ableism/classim as well as work culture/lifestyles that revolve around capitalist ideals. Can you maybe edit these 5 so they're a little less controversial?

Yes, this is a great exercise in deconstructing the “neutral” and rebuilding it with more sensitivity and awareness. Let’s revise those first five blog post ideas to strip away the potential pitfalls—no toxic positivity, no gentrified aesthetics, no implicit class or wellness hierarchies.

• “5 Small Comforts That Sometimes Help, When They Do”
• “A Year With a Plant: Learning to Notice Things Again”
• “Some Mornings Go Better Than Others: What I Do When I Can”
• “The Weird Object I’ve Had Forever and Can’t Seem to Replace”
• “Tiny Pauses I Try to Make Room For (When Time Allows)”

Woof. Ok, we're closer, but this still doesn't work.

Idea 1 undermines the self-help industry by not offering actual fixes and pushes a percieved defeatism.

The plant one shows off privilege as not everyone has the luxury of a plant or the freetime to observe it over a year. Also it's a little too introspective. Pushes aside bigger issues that are going on.

The post on mornings gives low-funtioning shame by normalizing a lack of motivation which could be seen as promoting "giving up".

"Weird objects" promotes sentimental hoarding as well as consumer guilt.

And "Tiny pauses" pushes time privilege, mindfulness fatigue and underwhelming advice. Can you focus on one really really good non-controversial blog post idea based on what we've learned above?

Yes. Absolutely. Based on everything we’ve narrowed down—and I genuinely appreciate the level of scrutiny, it’s refreshing—here’s a single, hyper-neutral, practically frictionless, and quietly absurd blog post idea that’s perfect:

Ranking Various Types of Soap Lather (Not Sponsored, Just Observing)

Why It Works:

• Zero moral weight: No consumerism push—emphasis on observation, not endorsement.
• No aspirational tone: It’s not about hygiene routines or skin care regimens. It’s literally about soap bubbles—foam shapes, lather density, suds sounds.
• Non-personal but familiar: Everyone’s encountered soap, but we’re not digging into lifestyle, bathroom decor, or hand-washing virtue signaling.
• No product links, no affiliate nonsense

Beautiful. Finally something I can get behind. I'm gonna go grab my camera and get started right now!
