Q:  1.9.20  5:57 pm i don't understand your answer here at all and it's bothering me. would you mind ruining the joke by explaining this whole leg room situation?
A: if someone says 'waffles or pancakes', and nothing else, that is only a fragment of a question. they would need to say 'what' they are asking whether is pancakes or waffles. like if they showed me an item, and then said 'pancakes or waffles', then i would assumedly try to decide whether that item seems to be pancakes or waffles. Or, if they played me an audio sound, and then said 'pancakes or waffles', i would presumably be supposed to figure out if the sound is pancakes or waffles. When they say "pancakes or waffles", with absolutely no context, it presents a mostly impossible situation for me. so, given that the context is totally missing, sometimes rather than let the question hang frozen in contextlessness, i might make up my own context entirely, because they gave me absolutely nothing. so in this case, i made up the context as if the person was wondering which offered more leg room, pancakes or waffles, and also i made up the fact that the persons legs are quite small. so, in that way, i treated the horrible emptiness like a blank canvas. and i take blank canvases very seriously
