This may not be exactly what you’re asking for but there is a video game called Baba is You that you would probably really get a kick out of. It’s on Steam, Switch, and I believe if not yet that it’ll soon be on IOS/Android.

Baba is You is my jam! but so many levels i just give up too easy and peek the solution online. i am not as smart as i wish i was.
I always feel so good for solving one, then boom the next puzzle is a slight variation that removes the way I just solved it and it’s like... damn. They went and predicted it and then said ‘fuck you’
Yes! Baba is You is so so so good. I love how it makes you think differently
This is not lateral thinking.
If a brick falls out of a plane unexpectedly, there's bigger problems. There must at least be a brick sized hole in the pressurized hull.
Combine that with the cargo being unsecured, this prone to shifting whilst manouvering, there's certainly cause for distress aboard the plane.
That's not a lateral thinking problem. You could argue it's a joke, but it's certainly not a lateral thinking problem.
Tom Scott runs a Podcast (and formerly a gameshow) called Lateral, which is basically all lateral thinking puzzles. I highly recommend it.
I'm not familiar with lateral thinking, but this reads like a joke... Is it intended to be funny, or are you actually expected to come up with all of those answers?
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.
So it's basically an exercise to promote creative thinking?
Haven't heard this in forever! Thanks
Interesting. I've heard the iterated animal jokes like that, and I've also heard the brick jokes, but never both of them together. I like it. Unfortunately I've never heard other jokes in the same vein.
The password game has some of those elements
That was fun, thanks! I made it till rule 24 on my phone. I give up haha
Okay this is offtopic, but does anyone know today's Wordle answer?
I do, but I don't know how to add spoiler tags.
Edit:
::: spoiler It's "ethos" :::
I remember we have one in German, but it's more about language...
you ask a bunch of questions ghat the answer are different colors, and when they are all used to saying colour's, if you ask them what a cow gives, they'll probably say white. Of course, this was in 2nd grade.
Dad not now im trying to break the record for worlds longest shit
