    Let's take *almost anyone* as being 90%+ of the population and let's assume they are 18+. Anecdotes Opinions on extremely controversial topics Recent major events The place/area you are currently in Why are you asking this? :?

    If you want a long talk knowledge of the topic is required. If you know what the person you are talking to is interested in(or know a lot about) you know what you can discuss for a long time.

    Things me and my friends talk about about doesn't last longer than 10-20 mins, we usually end up talking about something else.

    Talking about daily life observations, especially the bizarre kind few people pay attention to.

    It's not hugely often that one ends up in hour long discussions on a single topic and when it does happen, it's usually because all involved in the conversation are very knowledgable about the topic, or if there exist controversial views amongst those involved.

    on the real though don't talk about religion, sex, death, or finances with someone you don't know too well. tell stories, or just talk about yourself if its someone you don't know. it's super easy to tell an awesome story about yourself that someone has never heard before, and this also leaves room for you to add in extra anecdotes about the whole story (the people, place, feelings, weather, etc.) people are generally the most passionate when they are talking about themselves or something that they are really interested in, and if the person doesn't like what you're talking about or you don't have similar interests, then why are you even trying to talk to them in the first place? don't over think shit like this conversation is supposed to be natural, and if it isn't and is completely planned it is pretty easy to tell. the more you be yourself and love yourself the more people will love you, believe me, people used to kind of hate me because i came off as a dick, but once i became completely comfortable with who i was people really started to like me. sure they all think i'm weird as fuck, i mean who talks to a hot ass girl about spinning pens or playing video games? it's all about the amount of passion you put into what you say. the conversation is irrelevant. just avoid controversy, no point in getting people heated.

    And about the topic; Why do you have to talk in first place? Don't talk if you dont have to. But if you have to talk, best conversation is the conversation that is about same commons. That's why we almost never talked with my ex. Bitch had non, lol.
