Does the famous 'Breakfast question' have merit? Debate ZigZag99, Pork and Beans, etc.

Ironically, because of the memeification of it, everyone knows the answer. You can ask them and always get the proper response because it's common knowledge. The person will never show that their IQ is room temperature because it's been memed to death.

It's why you look at their fandoms and go "You watch Hazbin and Digital Circus, you have sub 0 IQ." It's also funnier.
 
Does anybody have a link to or remember what page it was on when I TLDRd about this i think I was right

Edit
How would you feel if which fishtsnk contesant would be capable of generating the most slabs while giving you a blowjob?
 
How would you feel if they were after your lucky charms?👠👠
 
I wouldn't put much stock into any cognitive assessment hacks posted on 4chan. It's an alluring idea, to be able to immediately clock somebody as a retard using a simple question, and there probably is a correlation between the ability to grasp a hypothetical and cognitive IQ, but there are so many factors at play that you'd have to be a retard yourself to believe you could do so.
Its also retarded because honestly I go through life assuming everyone is retarded and deaf and im right
 
How would you feel if you ate an entire honeypot for breakfast?

If you really think about it, it's impossible to not eat breakfast.

By definition it's the first meal of the day, so even if you only eat once a day in the evening that's breakfast.
I think this is the reason why many smart-ish people would fail the question because they'd assume there is a gotcha. The breakfast question simply asks a person to think of an hypothetical, but many smart-asses think trick questions are proper questions because they want to feel like they smarter when people can't answer because they're not in the joke.

I do have a three digit IQ, and if someone randomly asks me how would I feel if I didn't eat breakfast, I'd think they're trying to prank me or it's some meme I'm not aware of. Unfortunately, we're full of people who have convinced themselves that pranks are not only the epitome of fun, they're also the epitome of intelligence.

At the end, this can become an overthinking too. Remember that guy who claimed that 2 and 2 could be 5? His argument wasn't mathematical but semantic, and he thought this was a good argument. People act in so much bad faith now that other people, even smart ones, feel the need to be defensive all the time because people are looking for their gotcha.
 
LOL at the screenshot.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Exactly, what I said doesn't actually mean anything in relation to the question itself. The correct answers are still exactly the same regardless of that added technicality.
 
Do people really consider a response to this question as a serious indication of someone's IQ?

IQ? Not really, questions of this kind test sapience versus sentience.

Imagine following scene.
Big bad hackerman(X) argues with other person(Y) online. Upon reaching stalemate he grabs other person IP, and use hacker magic to find associated address.
Then their conversation goes so:

X: I know where you live, it's [address].
Y: Duh, I already know it.
 
Do people really?

It can help. I think a truly smart person might fail this question if they think it's not a serious test and might say something like "dunno, I just ate" despite being very able to answer an hypothetical, but a dumb person just can't answer for real and they will truly and sincerely say "...but I ate breakfast this morning" because their minds can't elabore further.
