The way I understand "Smalltalk" is not whether the subject matter is "serious enough" but rather whether either party actually has any interest in it, or if it is a polite nicety to avoid awkward silence.
Discussing the weather in a car ride with a coworker is smalltalk, contemplating with a friend how one might conquer the world using ant-controlling super powers is not.
You (usually) already do, but it's a test of attractiveness, not intelligence :)
How does that make sense, it's just arbitrary numbers. I can give you arbitrary numbers for celsius too: 30 being hot but tolerable, 20 being perfect, 10 being cold but tolerable.
I mean, they get collected, washed, and reused. Not sure why the sarcasm about it?
Tbf replacing the police with a bunch of literal dogs might be an improvement
Macht nichts, wenn man schlecht Deutsch hat (wie ich), sind die mai-mais noch besser
Yes but I'm trying to find positives for the OP, not negatives 🤫
If you are looking for silver linings, just look at the positive political effect trump is having in other countries, such as Australia and Canada :)

Yes many are obese, and it can definitely be a struggle, but that doesn't make being healthy an unrealistic expectation. It's highly realistic, and many people are healthy.
Only if you think humans are slaves to instinct and are defined by them.
Man also instinctively eats lots of sugars and fats because they are high in energy, so is restraining oneself to a healthy lifestyle unrealistic?
This is not a counter-argument, it's a thought terminating cliche.
