What’s a good “bar argument” topic to spark up a fierce debate ?
- If they could be up-scaled to become relatively the same size, which animal would be deadliest if pitted in a 1v1 deathmatch, blood dome style?
Hours and hours of debates with some old co-workers of mine.
I still think a bear-sized scorpion would be terrifying, it's basically an armored tank with claws and venom.

- Time travel is always a good one in my book.
Me and friend were visiting his sister and brother in law a few years ago and she specifically warned us not to talk about time travel. Her husband and one of his friend had recently had a long, multi-hour discussion regarding whether it was possible, how it could be possible, etc.etc.
So, we take him out to the bar, get a couple of beers in him, and then ask him about time travel. For 3 hours we had a serious discussion, including writing on one of their chalkboards, about time travel. We got other members of the bar to chime in, the staff, and by the end he had bought us round after round of beer, just to keep the conversation going.
I've done this a few more times since, with different groups, and its usually a good way to get people thinking, but not in a super serious kind of way.

- How many chihuahuas do you think you could take in a fight? Always starts an intense debate. Is 50 too many? Where are you fighting? Why are you fighting these tiny dogs?

- If you could sell your fingers, the first going for 10.000 dollars and the amount would multiply by 10 for each extra finger, how many would you sell? Grafting new fingers or getting any sort of prosthetics afterwards would be prohibited.

- At what point does a pizza stop being a pizza and become some dough with stuff on top? When there's no cheese? When there's no cheese AND no sauce? How many of the "original" ingredients can you replace until it's no longer a pizza?
