If one commits a crime, do they both go to jail? What if one is dating a male and the other prefers otherwise? What happens at a restaurant when one is a vegan and the other ordered the ribs? These are questions that have answers in theory and no good answers in practice, and this book asks all of them with the careful neutrality of someone who has thought about this for much longer than is strictly necessary and wants company in the obsession.

This adult parody book is the original in the series that has apparently generated enough unanswered questions to support a sequel, which tells you everything you need to know about how deep this goes. Illustrated in cartoon art with the structure of a genuine philosophical dialogue and the execution of something that will make you laugh while you're trying to think seriously about the questions being raised, it is the rare comedy that gets more interesting the longer you engage with it. There are no answers here. Only better questions.

This Book IS For:

Anyone who has ever had a hypothetical that started simple and became genuinely complicated in ways that kept them up at night
Fans of absurdist humor that commits to treating its most ridiculous premise with complete intellectual seriousness
Philosophy enthusiasts who want their ethics discussions delivered via cartoon rather than dense academic text
Gift-givers who want to start a conversation that will still be going at 1am

This Book Is NOT For:

People who find the premise inherently disrespectful regardless of the comedic intent and execution
Readers who need questions to be followed by answers in a reasonable timeframe
Anyone who has encountered this topic in a non-comedic context recently and needs some distance first
People who describe books as "not for them" and then immediately describe them to other people anyway

Appropriate For:

White elephant gift exchanges where you want to give something that gets read aloud to the full group
Gag gifts for the overthinking friend who already asks too many hypotheticals and needs fuel
Book clubs that have agreed to include at least one thing per year that's entirely unlike the other choices
Anyone who loves the kind of gift that creates material for the next two hours of conversation

Why Buy This

There is an entire genre of books about difficult philosophical questions. They're long. They're expensive. They use words like "epistemological" and expect you to be grateful. This book asks harder questions with better illustrations and costs a fraction of the price. The questions about crime, relationships, and dietary preferences are all genuinely impossible to resolve, and the book knows that, and it asks them anyway with the cheerful persistence of someone who is not going to stop.

Buy it. Read it. Try to answer one of the questions. Fail. Show it to someone and watch them fail. Repeat indefinitely. For the price of a nice pen that will stop working within six weeks, you get a book that generates discussion indefinitely, raises questions you'll find yourself thinking about while doing unrelated tasks, and confirms that some things simply do not resolve. Welcome to the club. There are two members. They share a torso. It's complicated.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
