The Breakfast Question or How Would You Have Felt If You Hadn't Eaten Breakfast? is a bait question and a counterfactual conditional that references a 4chan story of a grad student who allegedly performed IQ research on convicts at San Quentin State Prison. During the research, individuals with low IQ struggled to simulate the hypothetical situation in their minds, instead answering that they did have breakfast. Online, the question has been used in internet arguments as a conspicuous way to indicate that one's opponent is unintelligent, while the posts have often been referenced in memes.
>How would you have felt yesterday evening if you hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch?
>What do you mean? I did eat breakfast and lunch.
>Yes, but if you had not, how would you have felt?
>Why are you saying that I didn't eat breakfast? I just told you that I did.
>Imagine that you hadn't eaten it, though. How would you have felt?
>I don't understand the question.
> You seem to be failing the breakfast question, mate

Get the high tide questioningmug. Hym "Since you love answering my questions so much. I've asked that one about a thousand time so it kind of looks like YOU get more out of not answering it than you do by not answering the question. I don't get anything out of you answering my other questions other than my curiosity being sated. Which is useless. They knew BEFORE all of this. They still know. And are still doing the thing. To what end? What is the point? Why are they doing it and how? Who is responsible? Because I'm only responsible for the things that I do. I'm not stalking myself. If I had access to the site or the money I wouldn't me asking. And as much as I love being rude and terrorizing my enemies, you're kind of ignoring the shit out of me. It looks like you're trying to withhold it from me. What do you get out of not giving me what I want?'

Get the Questionmug. As many or as few as the whore who fucked that retard. I've seen her doing homework there so I know she stole AT LEAST the amount of time it takes for her to do her homework. You have no reason to assume she went straight back to work after fucking the retard. And that's jist the company time! How much of MY time did SHE steal?
Hym "Stupid question. You motherfuckers are desperate to draw a parallel between something I did there and fucking a retard but you don't even consider whether or not she was doing all of the things I was doing AND fucking the retard AND trying to get me to follow rules that are rendered irrelevant by the fact that she's fucking the retard and doing all of the things I'm doing. Which is against the rules. Someone else tried to compare age to fat cock and/or the situation there recently. You're not good at drawing parallels. Stop trying to draw parallels. She wants to talk about if she was 20... If you were 20 you wouldn't even consider me. You can't control it but is does change. You want a relationship instead of scheduling yourself for a shift at my studio apartment to come fuck me and then leave and then still not have a relationship with me. That is preferable to having a relationship with you. That's a parallel. I'm good at drawing parallels. I deserve to keep drawing parallels. You do not. Maybe one day you'll be as good at drawing parallels as I am. But for now... You should work on that."

Get the Ten Answers, Nintety Guesses, And Ninety Questions Are A Exclamation, Period <Punctuaction {Full-Stop}>, And Question MArkmug. Does that answer your question, Jordan? Or does it need to be a yes or no? Because I know how you feel about yes or no questions...
Hym "To answer your question, Yes. The first time I did it begrudgingly, at someone else's behest. Tried to convince them not to do it or to do it in a way that wasn't fucking retarded. Seriously. If you're going to commit fraud, do not let the ring leader be a fat bald retard. Second time was compensatory. She was fucking the retard. She was talking about how much she loves fat cocks and she locked eyes with a cripple for a full 7 count. She fucked him. Which means.... there aren't any cameras here. And to tolerate that shit costs way more than I was being paid. Why should I be forced to eat the cost? I don't think I should have to do that. So, I didn't. Hit them with a little 'labor inflation' and send a few thousand 'emails' asking where the fuck that prostitute was keeping my money and allowed them to compensate me for services rendered. Wasn't enough obviously. My payment remains incomplete. Interest is building.... 🤷 I still maintain that I am fairly morally grey. For now at least."
