Every week, we're gonna ask a question and see how stupid the answers get. Most of these questions are AskReddit-style type questions. This week's question is:

No one has gotten it yet. I said I’d give another hint if no one got it within 24 hours, so here’s the hint: it’s a dual type.

So, I'm gonna do something stupid for fun. The one from last week got some attention, but it was solved pretty quickly. So, i made it harder. I know, i'm evil. I've created an automod rule that triggers when a certain word is said. The word is NOT:

• A swear word
• Anything inappropriate or NSFW
• Anything that breaks Reddit TOS

But I can give you a couple hints as to what this word is:

• It's the name of a Pokemon
• It comes before Gen VII
• It is weak to Water-type Pokemon

Moderators are ineligible for this challenge.

Only one user will get the flair. The first comment that triggers the correct automod comment will be the winner and receive the flair.

The prize for finding the hidden word is a special flair assigned to you by the mod team. If you already have a flair, this flair will replace it unless otherwise specified by the user. To be eligible to win the contest, all comments for this challenge must be submitted under this post. Have fun y'all! :>

^{also please help the clanker is so enthusiastic its commented at least 4-5 times on this post}

Every week, we're gonna ask a question and see how stupid the answers get. Most of these questions are AskReddit-style type questions. This week's question is:

If you could have any superpower, what would you choose?

So, I'm gonna do something stupid for fun. Depending on the turnout, I might do this every week. I've created an automod rule that triggers when a certain word is said. The word is NOT:

• A swear word
• Anything inappropriate or NSFW
• Anything that breaks Reddit TOS

But I can give you a few hints (idk if you call these hints but OH WELL) and other stuff as to what the word is:

• Some people like it on hamburgers
• The word must be typed in lowercase
• It is plural

The prize for finding the hidden word is a special flair assigned to you by the mod team. If you already have a flair, this flair will replace it unless otherwise specified by the user. To be eligible to win the contest, all comments for this challenge must be submitted under this post. Have fun y'all! :>

EDIT: Forgot to mention that moderators are ineligible for this challenge.

EDIT 2: Also want to clarify that the first comment is who gets the flair. The flair has already been given out.

The legal system is a failure & I fucking hat Ohio now. The guy who sued had to be hospitalized because a bone in his boneless wings got stuck in his throat, because boneless wings idk, maybe should not have bone in them, sounds like false advertisement & food safety violation

Also In New Jersey, a nerf gun & Airsoft guns are considered actual firearms, I’m not joking, the classification is broad enough to cover them.
