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 rhetorahcal questionmug. Hym "And still the open question remains unanswered... I genuinely don't understand what you hope to achieve by doing this... Is there a point you're trying to make? If so, it is going straight over my head. It's like I'm waiting for a punchline and you just keep droning on and on... Oh, and the solution to that problem you're talking about would be: date a cuck and then schedule yourself and extracurricular shift at the old developmentally disabled group home and fuck a big dick retard in secret. Not that any of them were particularly competent but I think it still applies."
