You guys have any conversation starters to offer a poor lemming?

t = 2pi*sqrt(m/(mg/l)) is the pendulum formula, it directly calls pi and g.
it's outdated, yes, but it's really close to what we currently use as a meter. and the fact that it's really close made it easier to switch to the new meter basis.The meter is now defined based on the speed of light and a very short time interval.

What that bussy do?
Do you come here often?

The semester is starting back up and i'm terrible at speaking words.
This doesn't have to be aimed at college students, just conversation starters anywhere would be very much appreciated.
What music/game/ movie have you been into lately ?
What have you created lately?
How do you feel about the inevitable heat death of the universe and the patriarchy?
All normal things

“Hey, I'm kinda lost [and you look a bit lost too]. Do you mind if we band together until we figure things out?”

Hey! I am new here, and I would like to get my fellow students. My name is u/pineapple lover, who are you?
By the way, the English language needs a word for fellow student. In german that's Kommilitone. It's a good word.

hearty pirate laughter
"ARR ARR ARRR!"

have you ever killed a man?

"ARR ARR ARRR!"
Yes, this is indeed what it sounds like. But when I wrote it out like that, I couldn't help but imagine seal noises.

Not a great lead itself, but a useful poke a hippy at a festival taught me when the opening conversation starts to fizzle out a bit: "what do you want to tell me? It can be anything at all, take a moment to think about it." Then sit with the silence a bit (don't stare at them, let them think).
Some people will tell you some wild shit and/or open up like crazy if given this invitation. The person who used it on me got my whole life story, shit I was trying to work through by (in part) being there in the first place, etc. The last person who I did this with told me some defining moments in the development of their politics and worldview.
Create comfort, give an open invitation and a little space, and you'd be surprised how quickly you might move from small talk to more substantial stuff. Recommend everyone try it once just to see what the outcome is, so far it's been pretty neat.
I absolutely love this. Also, what's a poke-a-hippy?

No.....? Have you?

Lol but why would we use one word from one language when we can use two words from two different languages? /s

You might like the "If you could invent anything in the world, what would it be?"
I used to sketch out ppls' answers and give them the drawing to remind them they're creative even if they never considered themselves in that light before. Bc every single person I ask can come up with at least one thing, from jeans with a star patch on the back pocket to a tiny home village arrayed a certain way.

A hippie that uses autocorrect.

Lol, j/k. By poke I meant a conversational poke/prod technique, by hippy I meant...well, a hippy that shared the tip.

A university-specific one: look up what the agenda of your student leadership is currently debating, then say “hey I heard the student body president is trying to [thing]” and go from there. You might accidentally learn about yourself along the way.

I'm so sick of guys asking me about my body count...
-
Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
Not much room for dialogue from there.

Aaaaah the poke isn't describing the hippy! Got it
