Have you ever had a pet or child make a surprise appearance during a video call?
Why people ask this
This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. Tech and internet questions land because everyone has used something badly, sent a message they regret, or doomscrolled past their own bedtime this week. Have You Ever questions work because they give everyone the same binary entry point — yes or no — and then let the room decide how far to go. A quick nod counts. A ten-minute story also counts. The format never forces anyone to say more than they want to, which is exactly why people do.
