It very much does. I have actually offensive party conversation starters that work even better. You don't have to enjoy talking with everyone.

edit: shouldn't party conversation be a little spicy? At least I'm not talking about party politics, sports events, or television shows. Or the weather, or how we all individually got to the party.

To each their own of course, but given the binary choice between a boring topic and a topic that will inevitably cause me to think about my own kids dying in an accident, bring on the boredom.

A chicken may relish breakfast jokes that a pig would find distasteful.

But anyone who knows the topic well will explain to you that bike helmets and seat belts are the only things that really move the needle. The rest are on the order of measurement error.

(And I assume you’re not advocating dropping either of those.)
