I came across a chapter of a book discussing analogical thinking. When faced with a problem, one can start to look for analogies in other fields and try to apply solutions from there into the existing problem. One of the examples ("If your relationship were a car, it would be...") got me inspired and I started to come up with different topics and analogies.

Later, it became a simple generator blending together rather serious, often emotional topics with total abstraction. A combination that can serve as a crazy conversation starter and, depending on the interlocutor will, it can lead to a deep talk seen from an inapparent angle or to silly absurd answers.

Could work really well as physical party cards as well!
