Bro, have you considered the following possibility:

I didn't literally ask people "How would you feel if you had not eaten breakfast?", but rather questions that naturally followed the conversation that at the same time were either hypotheticals, or some adjacent ideas that require similar shift of perspective. The "How would you feel if you had not eaten breakfast?" stands as a symbol of a general idea.

Your comment is prime example of grown-ass adults having reading comprehension of GPT-1, especially that you missed the word "like", which explicitly points that the following example isn't to be taken literally, but rather metaphorically.

I can already imagine you in a conversation going like:

- It hit me like a bolt from the blue!

- But a bolt from the blue did not hit you, did it?

I cannot believe I need to explain this shit to you.
