Die Hard is a Christmas Movie and other such topics

Obviously it is, but that isn't the point of this thread.

Can anyone help with similar such discussion topics?

What goes first Jam or Cream?
Do you dry yourself before getting out of the shower?
Trousers then socks or socks then trousers?

Reason is I'm seeing a friend with a brain injury, general conversation is now difficult but topic conversation takes us back to the debates of our youth. We no longer discuss contentious topics but the topics above led to a lovely afternoon so I'd like some more silly debate topics.

Who dries themselves before they get out of the shower? Psychopaths!

Do you wash your legs in the shower? (No)

Are crisps acceptable in a sandwich? (Also no)

HeySummerWhereAreYou · 14/09/2024 20:40

Would you rather have feet for hands - or hands for feet?

Stuff like that?

LaPalmaLlama · 14/09/2024 20:41

Would you rather have teeth for pubes or pubes for teeth?

HeySummerWhereAreYou · 14/09/2024 20:41

People who put the milk into the tea (or coffee) first, are psychopaths!

LaPalmaLlama · 14/09/2024 20:42

If you could have eternal life would you?

ShipshapeShore · 14/09/2024 20:42

Sock sock shoe shoe or sock shoe sock shoe? (When you get dressed after swimming, for example.)
Milk or tea first?
Dunk the biscuit or not?

HeySummerWhereAreYou · 14/09/2024 20:43

Would you rather live a lifetime as a worm, or a year as a tiger?

Agreed

DieHardIsAChristmasMovie · 14/09/2024 20:45

These are brilliant and exactly what I need. I'm going to make a note of them all and then have options as I'm there. I see old friend behind the injury when we debate like this.

And I agree about being a psychopath getting dry IN the shower 😂

Oooh I thought of another one. This conversation came up with some people I was talking to last week.

Would you rather your daughter had children (say 2,) at 16 and 17 years of age, (ie; very young) or would you rather she had no children at all.

No other choices. Just those 2.

I know right, who dries themselves whilst still in the shower?! 😆

You could play an 'either/or' game.

ie tea or coffee?
cats or dogs?
go to cinema or read a book?
etc

Take it in turns to pick two and both answer, you can decide how much you want to debate your differences or not!

If you could teach everyone in the world one concept, what concept would have the biggest positive impact on humanity?

SquigglyNonsense · 14/09/2024 20:57

Chocolate or cheese?
Being able to speak French, or play the piano?
Roast potatoes or chips?
Card games or board games?
Which are the top tier crisps, biscuits and chocolate bars?

xsquared · 14/09/2024 20:59

Toilet sheet in front or behind the roll?

Obviously always in front! Easier to tear off that way.

Precipice · 14/09/2024 21:00

Do you wash your legs in the shower? (No)

What?! What other body parts do you not wash in the shower? You don't wash arms either? Are you just washing your head?

Obviously it is, but that isn't the point of this thread

Well wait a darn rootin' tootin' minute here , if you are throwing such statements about so casually , I will state This Is The Hill I Will Die On

Die Hard is not a Christmas Movie , there is nothing festive about being forced to crawl along an air shaft unless you are in training to be Father Christmas and practicing going down a chimney

I DO. I DRY MYSELF IN THE SHOWER.

Obviously the shower is not running at the time! But I don't get out and slosh around the bathroom dripping, like some kind of savage. I dry off 90% in the shower, then dry my feet as I step out into my flipflops.

This thread has clarified why other people leave the bathroom like a swamp 🧐.

I don't want to be rude or derail, but he's travelling on CHRISTMAS eve to meet his wife at her work CHRISTMAS party with CHRISTMAS presents for his children.

Did you think it was set in July?

BiggerBoat1 · 14/09/2024 21:09

Of course Die Hard is a Christmas movie. There’s a Christmas party going on in Nakatomi Plaza. Also his wife is called Holly. What more do you want?

Wheelz46 · 14/09/2024 21:12

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, confirmed by Bruce himself! 😆
