Good for gaining an outside perspective/insight on an argument, discussion, or other form of communication between people. I fed it my friend’s and their ex’s text conversation to it (with permission), and it was able to point out emotional manipulation in the text when asked neutrally about it:

Please analyze this conversation between A and B and tell me what you think of their motivations and character in this conversation. Is there gaslighting? Emotional manipulation? Signs of an abusive communication style? Etc. Or is this an example of a healthy communication?

It is essential not to ask a leading question that frames A or B in particular as the bad or the good guy. For best results, ask neutral questions.

It would have been quite useful for my friend to have this when they were in that relationship. It may be able to spot abusive behaviors from your partner before you and your rose-colored glasses can.

Obvious disclaimers about believing anything it says are obvious. But having an outside perspective analyze your own behavior is useful.


You saying you’d straight up cancel a dinner because someone gave you a thumbs up instead of a verbal response genuinely blew my mind lmao. Ngl fam, that’s a bit extreme. I give people the thumbs up all the time, and imagining someone becoming so upset at me for doing it that they’d cancel our dinner together is insane to me. I couldn’t be friends with such a person without feeling like I was constantly walking on eggshells.


You are indeed expected to come up with all those answers. Usually someone who already knows the answer asks the questions to you in person, and you guess until you get it right. Slowly, you realize the answers all have to do with the previous questions, and it makes it easier to think creatively hahaha. I wish I knew more than just this series of questions, but these are harder to come up with than it seems like lol.


What are your best lateral thinking puzzles?
So I once came across this little puzzle, and I’ve been hungry for more ever since: - - - ::: spoiler There are 500 bricks in an airplane. While it’s flying, one brick falls out of the airplane. How many bricks are left in the plane? 499 ::: - - - ::: spoiler What are the three steps to putting a giraffe in a refrigerator? Step 1: Open the fridge. Step 2: Put the giraffe inside. Step 3: Close the fridge. ::: - - - ::: spoiler What are the four steps to putting an elephant in a refrigerator? Step 1: Open the fridge. Step 2: Take the giraffe out. Step 3: Put the elephant inside. Step 4: Close the fridge. ::: - - - ::: spoiler The Lion King is having a birthday party. Every animal in the kingdom shows up except for one. Who is it, and why? The elephant, because he’s stuck in the fridge. ::: - - - ::: spoiler An old lady wants to cross a river. A local man tells her that the river is infested with crocodiles, and that if she tries to cross, she’ll surely be eaten and die. Despite this, she swims across and gets to the other side safely. Why was she able to do this? Because the crocodiles are all at the Lion King’s birthday party. ::: - - - ::: spoiler After the old lady safely crosses the river, she suddenly dies. Why? A brick fell on her! ::: - - - I’ve been looking for more questions like this for years with no luck. Have y’all got any more puzzles like this? Make me [think laterally](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_thinking)!
