I hate hypotheticals like this

Hypotheticals like this are tiring and boring. I could have 30 million, and I get to pick the animal? Any animal? Fine, a koala, or a fish, or an ant. Literally any of these options are completely fine and follow the rules of this hypothetical, so to make the question even remotely interesting you need to add extra conditions.

These sort of questions are incredibly half baked and uninteresting, and I hate them. If you’re posting a hypothetical question, make it challenging. People shouldn’t have to change the rules of the question just so its not boring.

One last hypothetical I hate are ones where you are given an advantage or power but it has limitations. Such as “You can have teleportation, but you can only teleport to places you’ve been before”.

Like, okay? Fine. You mean I now have a superpower with limitations? Cool, because I currently don’t have any powers so thats way better than my current situation. These sort of hypotheticals are saved when you add multiple options though, such as picking between flight and teleportation.

tldr: Come up with better hypotheticals
