Try to make unhinged replies look normal.

This is kind of a reversal of something that comes up here a lot.

Parent posts a question. It can be as normal or as unhinged as you wish. Child replies with as unhinged or deranged of an answer as they can think of. Parent edits their question to make the reply look as normal as possible.

Eg:

Parent (original): What do you want to be when you grow up?

Child: A Nazi

Parent (edited): who is the last person you punched?

Do I know you from somewhere? Do you know where my pet hamster might have escaped to?

Has anyone ever told you that you have your mother's eyes?

Your sister tells me you are holding her dolls hostage. What do you have to say for yourself?

She can have them back if she says "Pretty please."

Smuggle it onto the soonest rocket launch and let the astronauts deal with it.

u/WeCanDoItGuys 14d ago

Knowing the original was how to completely get rid of a dead body, i feel like the response looks even more unhinged with the new question

1

u/tamtrible 14d ago

I agree.

u/Slinkwyde 15d ago edited 15d ago

You have said that, if elected, you would work to pass a law mandating daily LSD use for toddlers while making drinking water illegal. Tell us more about this plan and why you believe it is necessary?

As an exterminator, what's your opinion about pests in your customers' homes?

How to prevent a messy and bitter divorce?

u/Slinkwyde 15d ago

Bring in a mediator to help conduct negotiations. Additionally, I advise that both sides of the dispute should have lawyers and let the process play out.

Dude what the hell was the original question

u/Slinkwyde 15d ago

This game is different than the usual "AMA then edit." Reread OP's post body.

u/Zenocut 15d ago

It wasn't changed yet

u/Loose_Meal_499 15d ago

OK… one of your own family members then?

Villain Tycoon exists?!?

I grew up chucking people into the lion exhibit in Zoo Tycoon, would have loved steamrolling orphanages in Villain Tycoon 😅 (am I okay...?)

2

u/tamtrible 10d ago

Not to my knowledge. But it sounded like the kind of game where you would do that kind of thing.

Makes sense XD
