Most water cooler conversations centre on the weather, the latest episode of a favourite television show, or the latest scores in tennis, cricket or some other sport. There are however much more interesting water conversations to be had.
The best kinds of water cooler conversations are those that do not require a tremendous amount of knowledge, and immediately incite fierce debate without creating anger in participants. Subjects that provide colleagues with the opportunity to provide their take on the world and beyond are good; politics and religion do not fall into this category.
Here are some interesting and safe topics that are guaranteed to start great water cooler conversations:
- Are We Alone in the Universe?
The very idea of extra-terrestrials is one that has fascinated human beings for aeons. The concept of another intelligent species living in this galaxy or universe has stimulated our imaginations. Everyone has some idea on the subject; some individuals believe that there are aliens and that they want to avoid us, while others don’t think aliens exist at all.
- What Famous Person Would You Want to See in the Afterlife?
If there is a heaven, chances are that when we die we will once again see all those cool and interesting people who have gone before us like Einstein, Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis and Edith Piaf, Mother Theresa, Freddie Mercury, Thomas Edison, et al. Who would you like to see again or meet should you both end up in heaven or wherever else in the afterlife? Why?
- What will your Last Thought be before You Die?
Apparently one’s life flashes before one’s eyes the moment prior to death. Given that this is true, what do you think your final thought would be?
- Do you sing in the Shower?
We all have our guilty pleasures, and sometimes people are embarrassed by them, such as singing in the shower. Strangely enough, singing in the shower is something many individuals share in common. For whatever reason, people everywhere decide to bellow out lyrics from our favourite music while taking a shower.
