Everyday/What-if questions (1–10)
What would you be if you were reborn?
This is a question that asks what form you would like to live in if you were to be reborn.
Some people might feel that animals living in nature seem to exist without thinking about anything, and wish to live that way.
Others may want to try life as such an animal, while some would prefer to be human again—people’s views will vary.
Asking for the reasons is also a key point of the conversation, and it’s worth noting how deeply the person thinks about the question.
It’s a theme that can lead into discussions about the person’s worries or their favorite animals.
What’s the biggest hairstyle mistake you’ve ever made?
Hair grows even if you do nothing, and each time, everyone gets it cut with their own preferences in mind.
This question asks you to recall, among your experiences of getting your hair cut, what kind of hairstyle you felt was a failure.
Encourage them to clearly remember what ideal they were aiming for and how that led to the disappointing result.
It’s also recommended to expand the conversation into how that failure has been applied to their subsequent hairstyles and what their ideal hairstyle is going forward.
What’s your funny quirk?
It’s just talking about your little quirks, yet it makes listeners burst into laughter—this is that kind of talk topic.
Behaviors you thought were normal can look odd to others, and that naturally sparks humor.
Even small things like “I have a habit of cracking my knuckles” or “I look up to the right when I’m thinking” become funny when you add how you noticed it or how people reacted.
It also makes you want to hear other people’s quirks, and the conversation keeps expanding—that’s the charm of this topic.
Because it’s so relatable, it’s easy to get lively, and once you try it, you realize it’s a surprisingly deep conversation theme.
Everyday/What-if Questions (11–20)
What’s your favorite weapon?
Human history has always been intertwined with weapons.
You can tell from games and the like that a wide variety of weapons exist around the world.
This question asks you to think about your favorite among that vast array.
It may be easiest to start by talking about games that feature many weapons or the ones you often use.
From there, it’s recommended to branch into what you’d want to carry in real life and which weapons seem easy to use.
You might also enjoy the contrast between people who choose weapons out of admiration and those who pick ones that seem genuinely practical.
What are your favorite ingredients for miso soup?
When it comes to miso soup, each household uses different ingredients and has its own flavor, so people’s favorite types of miso soup can vary quite a bit.
By asking about someone’s favorite ingredients in miso soup, you can deepen your understanding of their food preferences and the differences in home-cooked flavors.
While it’s a question that often invites simple answers, some people may have strong preferences—such as changing ingredients depending on the type of miso used, or liking different combinations.
It could also be fun to change the conditions—for example, talking about instant miso soup—and see how the answers differ.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Just imagining “what if I came into a lot of money…?” is enough to get you excited—this topic really lets your dreams run wild.
You can talk freely, like “I’d buy a house for my family” or “I’d buy everything I want,” and sometimes the conversation takes such a funny turn that you end up laughing at yourself.
The fun lies in the fact that it’s enjoyable whether the ideas are realistic or totally outlandish.
Friends chiming in with playful jabs at your answers also adds to the excitement.
How someone would spend money reveals their personality and tastes, so you might discover unexpected sides of them.
There’s no right answer, and any kind of response can be fun, making it a perfect conversation starter.
What would you bring to a deserted island?
It’s the classic question posed under the hypothetical of being stranded on a deserted island with nothing.
Since we often see celebrities and others answering it, some people may already have a firm answer in mind.
Whether you choose something essential for survival or something useless but precious, it’s also fun to see how seriously someone engages with the question.
The standard rule is that you can bring only one item, but increasing the number you can bring might broaden the range of answers and make the discussion more exciting.
