That the hampsters need to be properly fed all the time.
This sloooow loading and Error 303 (or is it error 301?) must be due to lack of proper hampster chow.

We (appear to) have free will.
At least some people are wrong about something. (I think we all accept that everyone can't be right about everything. The next bullet is basically the same statement in different phrasing.)
Truth is not relative. (People may think they believe that truth is relative, but if you pin them down you'll find that they don't actually think that.)
Computers are useful. (You didn't ask about everyone, just everyone here.)

I think I'd like to disagree with that one 
But can you give an example first of (allegedly) relative truth?

Not because it's fundamental, but because everyone agreeing (or at least not kicking up enough of a fuss to matter) on it is sort of the point to a lot of systems working at all: democracy.
