18 Things To Talk About With Your Family Instead Of Politics

So it's that time of year again, multiple family gatherings based around holidays all lined up in a row. And, in case you haven't noticed, families are pretty divided by age/politics/where they live/etc. these days. And if Facebook is any indication, y'all are unfriending your aunts and uncles like crazy. Between fake news stories and the ACTUAL FREAKING NEWS, there are a lot of landmine conversations that could happen.

But don't worry, I'm here to help. I've put together a list of 18 wildly ridiculous topics of conversation to steer the conversation away from politics (and football rivalries, for those divided houses).


- What came first: the fruit or the color orange?
- If steroids are illegal for athletes, why isn't Photoshop illegal for models?
- What are your thoughts on PT Cruisers?
- Do you think Pluto was robbed of planet-hood?
- Do you think British people feel shame since Scar, the only British lion, murdered Mufasa?
- Are we human? Or are we dancer?
- Are eyebrows considered facial hair? If not, what classification of hair are they?
- Why aren't the Fast & Furious movies considered super hero movies? The only difference is cape vs. car...
- Do caterpillars know they're going to be butterflies or do they just start building their cacoon on instinct?
- What are the lyrics to "We Will Rock You?" (Don't look at your phone.)
- How do mermaids have babies?
- Why don't the women on The Walking Dead have armpit hair?
- Why are they called "waiters" when you are the one who has to wait for them to bring you food?
- How did the girl in Flo-Rida's "Low" wear boots with the fur AND Reeboks with the strap?
- Why does your nose run and your feet smell?
- If tomatoes are fruit, would that make ketchup a smoothie?
- Why are they called "apartments" when they're built together?
- Why do we think we know what dinosaurs sound like? We have no recordings.

So these should last you, at least, through dessert. After that, you're on your own.

(Check Twitter a bit later, I might have a playlist for y'all to listen to after you blow through these topics.)

Happy Thanksgiving!
