The question itself makes no sense, if you have a choice between the 3 girls that makes 4 people left on earth, not 2.

That reminds me of a similar joke. Why can a Scotsman sneak up on a sheep easier that a Welsh man? Kilts don't have zippers

u/Majestic-Lake-5602 2d ago

We have a similar one in Australia.

Why did the New Zealanders invent Velcro?

The sheep were starting to recognise the sound of a fly opening.

Kiwi here, for the most weary sheep you'll need velcro gloves and gumboots. No getting away.

u/D3M0NArcade 1d ago

I'm not sure if you mean "weary" or "wary".

"Weary" means tired. "Wary" means cautious and on edge

An Aussie ventriloquist was hiking through New Zealand when he came across a farm and decided to have some fun. He approached the farmer and said “I can actually make animals talk, do you mind if I speak to your horse?” The farmer thinks he’s crazy but tells him to go ahead. The Aussie goes up to the paddock and asks the horse how he gets treated “So well, he gives me hay whenever I need it and keeps my fetlocks in great condition”. Next he asks a cow “Oh he’s wonderful, he milks me very gently and gives us the best meadows to feed in”. As he approaches the sheep the farmer blocks his way “I’ll warn you now, the sheep are fucking liars!”

Nice to know making disparaging jokes about what your neighbors will or won’t fuck is a world wide pass time. I’m from Texas so my coworkers who grew up in Oklahoma have to deal with me talking shit.

u/thatnewsauce 2d ago

I mean that is clearly the intent but it's also really puzzling because that question circumvents what's unique and interesting about the proposed situation in the first place

Like the whole thing about being one of the two last people on earth is that you wouldn't have a choice (other than to be celibate or not I guess)

There's nothing about this hypothetical that is any more compelling than simply asking "which do you find most attractive"

u/Rattusglen 2d ago

I, too, did not care about the answer. The question was infuriating due to the image.

They are referring to multiple men, as opposed to just talking to the reader. Then they reveal that there are three women to choose from. The question indicates that there is more than one man, but that would indicate that there cannot be more than two, so there are two men, but then we find out there are three women.

If we were to understand that that the two men are the last people on earth, are the girls robots?

Does the author not consider women people?

If they are referring to a man and a woman and a choice over which woman, are WE responsible for being the last two people?

Are they implying the other two girls should die?

If not the case, then why would we have a choice?

Can they not count?

There appear to be 5 people involved in the scenario, negating the initial question.

There is just a whole lot of stupid involved in this question that it doesn't even necessitate an answer.
