I love this one – resulting in great discussions and fun insights: 'What is something completely unimportant that you have strong opinions about?'
ALEXIA
@katjaalissamueller would love to hear answers to this!
Dipak Sisodiya
@katjaalissamueller @alexia_georghiou I second that. Please do tell!
Katja Alissa Mueller
@alexia_georghiou @dipak_sisodiya Here a few examples from a previous session: - When people stop abruptly at the end of an escalator ride and you can't pass by - When you dip your butter knife into the jam jar and leave marks - Vinegar on chips: absolute no go - Sounds on mobile when you type - Cutting pizza into small triangle pieces with knife and fork instead of eating it by hand ... What would be yours?

@dipak_sisodiya @katjaalissamueller when people are talking on their phones in public and they put it on speaker …..like they can’t hear if the phone is by their👂 ear.

What is the worst tv show you watch?
Katja Alissa Mueller
@andrew_bagby I can see the discussions coming out of this already 😂
Charlotte Chiang
Who is your evil alter-ego (which TV/comic/game villain did you love)? ^^Always fun to see which 'bad' characters people identify with and why. What is a smell that reminds you of childhood? ^^I find that it opens up nice stories about our upbringing and values that often don't get told.
Katja Alissa Mueller
@charmandro love the evil alter-ego one. Which one is yours?
Charlotte Chiang
@katjaalissamueller Haha, lately I've really been digging Sophie Grateau's energy (from Emily in Paris). How about you?
Katja Alissa Mueller
@charmandro haha nice one. Wile E. Coyote comes to mind first – big fan of his evilness that never worked out that well since childhood...
Golfo Vasiliou
@katjaalissamueller @charmandro Sophie isn't evil, she's just tired of Emily's BS hahaha
Sophie Coe
Definitely anything food related!
Max Holub
@sophie_coe yess! when visiting new city/country - what are the best dishes or places have you tried?
Katja Alissa Mueller
@maksim_holub1 what's your last favourite dish?
Max Holub
@katjaalissamueller good ice breaker too :) but not to offend anyone, I'd say it all depends on the mood

If you could be a Disney cartoon character for a day, who would you be and why?
Madeleine Nichols
I like the breadth of interests revealed from this Q: - what's something new that you learned this past week?
Katja Alissa Mueller
@madeleine_nichols super nice. what did you learn this past week?
Alexis Khvatov
What's your go-to karaoke song? - It's a fun question that can lead to a discussion about music and personality. Plus, who doesn't love belting out their favorite tune?
Nicholas Alexander
@alekswatch this is so great haha
Katja Alissa Mueller
@alekswatch now everyone wants to know: which one is yours?
Isaiah Trotter
"What's your body count?" definitely isn't the best, but it sure as heck turns heads lol.
Dipak Sisodiya
@isaiah_trotter in another episode of "Things which can mean two things"
Katja Alissa Mueller
@isaiah_trotter and straight to HR...
Isaiah Trotter
@dipak_sisodiya Lol yeah how many confirmed kills do you have on the battlefield, mate?
Heleana Grace
"What were you like 10 years ago/in high school/last year?" It really allows people to tell their stories and you can see how they've changed throughout the years. And it's a good twist to the old "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" type of question.
Katja Alissa Mueller
@heleana haha that sparked another potential fun one 'what's the worst hairstyle you had as a teenager'
Max Holub
i'm here just to thank you for this discussion thread!
