Not weird for attention. Weird because people are weird and the conversation may as well admit it.
Which none-living objects you treat as if they had a life?
What is the weirdest thing you have done to impress someone?
Is a fractal more a complex or more a simple thing?
Odd is useful
A strange question can do what a polite one cannot: make people stop auto-filling the answer.
Breaks the loop
Weird cards pull the talk away from work, weather, and the price of chairs.
Makes room for humor
People relax faster when the prompt is not asking them to present their soul in bullet points.
Still human
The point is not random nonsense. It is a side door into something real.
