“I Think Jesus Was Gay” and Five Other Ways To Spark Thanksgiving Conversation
With all the chaos of 2020, conversation won’t be lacking at the Thanksgiving table this year. Your grandma will ask you for the 5th year in a row if you have a significant other, and your grandpa will make some silly comment about your weight. Oh, pawpaw! However, when conversation slows and politics are the elephant in the room, here are six topics to spice up the conversation.
1. “I think Jesus was gay.”
This is a great way to kick off the evening. Assert your Thanksgiving dominance with gay Jesus discourse for a fun little debate amongst you and your family members. You may even get a tear or two from your aunt whose favorite pastime is sharing political propaganda on Facebook. Show them that Jesus was the original socialist!
2. “I have a sugar daddy paying off my student debt.”
This one’s a double whammy because it takes care of the significant other question and will spark lively conversation with many questions to follow! The fair warning with this one is it’s definitely a dessert course comment. So whip this one out over the second sharing of pecan pie for some candid reactions. Think of it as the cherry on top.
3. “I think air fryers are overrated.”
This statement will surely stir the pot and be a hot topic of conversation. Your uncle with a magazine subscription to Southern Living who tried to fit the whole turkey in the air fryer this year will have a lot to say, and your cousin who was ready to dive into the COVID infested Black Friday line at Kohl’s may just reconsider, if she values your opinion.
4. “I’m thinking of dropping out of school to focus on my OnlyFans.”
A statement like this one is perfect if you’re looking to pass some time. First, you get to delve into describing what OnlyFans is, then you get to explain your own personal passion. It's a win-win that will carve some time out of the night before the preservatives in the turkey make everyone too sleepy!
5. “I’m changing my major to Women’s Studies.”
Nothing to get your Uncle Steve riled up like the slightest mention of feminism. Explain your lack of passion for pre-med over your plate of broccoli casserole.
6. “I put THC in the pumpkin pie.”
Lastly, spiking the pumpkin pie with THC may be a little more involved, but will definitely liven everyone’s spirits and make Thanksgiving 2020 unforgettable! Are grandma’s eyes red from crying over your OnlyFans, or is she actually having the time of her life? Plus, Thanksgiving munchies will hit different for everyone. Take the Eggplant’s advice, and make the most of Thanksgiving with these amazing conversation starters. You never know the last time you’ll have your whole family together again, so seize the opportunity with some intellectual discussion!
