Niche Conversation Starters

Text on the meme

Niche conversation starters to keep the spark alive, Part 10 What colour is each weekday? How fast can you tie your shoelaces? Example: How often do you replace your phone screen protector? Have you ever successfully popped a pimple inside of your nose? Do you say autumn or fall?

What it means

A woman in an orange shirt speaks directly to the camera, presenting increasingly random “niche” conversation starters. The questions range from harmless curiosities to awkwardly specific personal topics, making the deadpan delivery funny as a deliberately strange way to keep a conversation alive. The clip is accompanied by Heinrich Dawydow’s performance of “Suite bergamasque, L. 75: III. Clair de lune,” whose gentle, dreamy classical mood contrasts with the bizarre questions and heightens the absurdity.
