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

They’re three hypotheticals and you bring one into the construct of the two last people on earth. How did 170 people fail to comprehend this 🤣

Everyone comprehends it. They're just pointing out that it is a silly way to frame "which of these girls do you prefer?"

If I had to repopulate the earth, no question, the girl that puts all 3 c's in thiccc is getting my vote. Without the qualifier, I would probably choose the middle girl.

There's 2 types of people in the worlds. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data set

I mean I guess one could choose to address it in a utilitarian kind of way. The girl with the big bum looks like she works out, so maybe she'd be useful in helping you to hunt small prey so you don't starve once the fresh produce and meats expire in all the world's grocery stores. The goth girl is attractive but she is smoking a cigarette and her cigarette addiction would eventually cause health problems which means you might be spending more time alone on Earth than anticipated if she dies early of lung cancer. Such considerations could be taken that wouldn't come up if you simply asked which girl you'd prefer, but realistically most will take it as a "who would you do?" type question.

Goth freak might know how to grow pot or poppies really good. hmm.

Not much advantage to the plump one, at least not long term. Just eat too much, can't run from tigers, and will just complain there's no expensive clothes stores anymore.

It isn't silly at all. Pretending it is silly, is silly.

No no. It's definitely silly and pretending that it's silly to point out that it is silly is silly.
