I clicked this, I can't think of anything to contribute.

For some reason I searched this, it's just sitting in another tab.

At which point I will just stop making any attempt in writing something coherent and instead opt into adding words in such case that it comes of as if I was writing anything meaningful. You will then read it and after seeing how pointless it was you will then realize that you've, yet again, been trapped and are forced to continue the neverending cycle of quoting.

I have to wonder what exactly made you do this. Are you willing to elaborate this in a 10000 words long essay? Why is the answer "yes"? :)

Why I Did This and the Explanation of "Yes"
A Manifesturrito by the Great ElBurrito​

As it says in the Holy Bible "Ask and you shall receive", though the context and meaning may imply a different meaning other than what I have in mind, you asked and thus you shall receive my answer in the form that you requested. So, buckle up boys and girls because this story has more layers than an ogreish onion without the problem of growing little white hairs if it sits out in the sun for too long. So, sit back and enjoy as you are about to go on a long, monotonous, tedious, grueling, extensive, ridiculous, and comprehensive ride to discover the answer to one of life's deepest questions: "Why El? Why?" But first, as is the case with many of the world's greatest stories, I shall start at the beginning, where all story beginnings begin.

It all started when I was born, or more accurately before I was born into this world. There I was, resting in the womb as most mammalian creatures do before birth. I felt my time to leave the darkness encasing me had arrived and so I left. Fast forward approximately twenty-six years, twenty-six days, eighteen hours, and twenty-four minutes, give or take, and the story takes us to a modern-day morning. Which morning you ask? Why this morning of course. Monday, March 29th 2021 A.D. As with most days, this day began with me sleeping. Both of my eyes were shut as I lay in the darkness, body covered by my camo blanket so that my enemies are unable to find me resting, and my head upon a camo pillow so that I can not find the place upon which my head shall rest. I was not quite yet ready to awaken, however my furry companion of the Felidae family decide that she had other plans. With a sudden kick to the nether region from the very beast I once called friend, I was quickly awoken with a kick back of my own, launching the vicious mammal into the dark abyss surrounding us. After a loud yell from my own vocal cords and the panicked scrambling of cat paws I descended back into my slumber. I was shortly woken up again by the obnoxious sound of my alarm. Being the mature adult that I am, I quickly turned off the alarm so that I could continue enjoy my fake death experience. After another sixty minutes of laying with my eyes closed, I began to reach consciousness again, this time waking up to the song that my internal radio chose to greet me with. Now, my brain hardly ever stops playing music and this morning was no exception though it was bizarre waking up to the Spice Girls station airing in my head. There's nothing quite like waking up to

"Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, friendship never ends"

It was about at this point that I fully awoke and manually switched to a different song. There are worse songs to wake up to playing in your head, such as Funky Town, but there are also much better songs as well and this one had no explanation as to why this song was playing in my head, at least none that I could think of. After changing radio stations, I examined the surrounding area in search of my assailant. The hairy beast was nowhere to be seen but that did not mean she was not there. She is a black cat, covered in black fur with the black striped pattern of a tabby. Despite her green eyes, she still blends in with the darkness, enabled her to strike from anywhere unseen, without the need of a camo blank such as the one I was hiding beneath. After what felt like a millennium of surveying the land, I finally made the decision to move forward with my sad excuse of a life and thus I stepped out of bed, first sliding my right leg off the bed and onto the floor followed by my left leg sliding to the right then landing on the floor after escaping the confines of the blanket prison. This resulted in my sitting upright in a position that made it a lot easier to stand, a process that requires both feet to be resting upon the ground with the cranial basket of the humanoid positioned above the feet while being supported by the rest of the body in between the two opposing extremities. Seeing as my room is practically blacked out to prevent all of the evil light beams emanating from the fiery burning orb in the sky from penetrating my windows and blinding the ocular pheres resting within the sockets of the frontal facing portion of my skull, I had to careful push open the door to my connecting bathroom so as not to burn my retinas out. While standing there, avoiding the beams moving at light speed as if I were a vampire trying to avoid destruction by Thanos-like solar rays, my ocular vision orbs finally adjusted to the proper setting and I entered the room, and that's when I saw my face. Yes, that face. The very face that is attached to the frontal portion of my skull. There is not much worth nothing about my face, as it is a face just like any other human face, however it is necessary for informing others that I am in fact not blind. I then proceeded to give the teeth within my mouth hole a quick, light brush to counter the sarlacc pit-like position in which I apparently slept all night long. This was followed by what some people in some places would refer to as "draining the tank". I need not explain this process, as we are all human and we all probably understand. Those who don't should be watched with a close eye as they may be proof that life from other worlds has finally descended upon us to harvest our organs. My organs may not be worth harvesting but I doubt that would stop the other-worldly travelers from attempting such a questionable feat.

After exiting the room of resting where there truly is no rest, I reentered the bedroom, the room with a bed. I picked up my electronic, digital, smart, mobile, cellular device and pushed in the on button so that the screen could light up and allow me to look upon its surface with my ocular vision spheres to discover the time at which I was standing before it and gauge the amount of time I had left before setting off on my journey to the place in which I call work. I tapped the screen to activate the button for the book of faces and continued to tap on the screen of my mobile cellular device until I found the group page for my specific place of work so that I could read the time at which I needed to arrive there as I had already forgotten over the past two days that the weekend is composed of. Doing the necessary math, I had concluded that one hour and thirty minutes was the approximate time I had before the exit of my living corpse from my humble domicile would be required of me. This left me with mixed feelings as I was glad to have time to enjoy breakfast and some animated moving pictures however more time to allow other things around the home in which I lived would have also been nice as well. But beggars can't be choosers and because I had already chosen to sleep longer, I was unable to choose additional hours at this time and begging was not an option either, unfortunately. This resulted in step two of the beginning routing of morning processes. I shuffled to the door to my room of bedding and opened it, staring down the hall of which I was to walk through. I kicked away the object propping the door open so that the feline would not defecate in my bedroom in the night then began my march to the kitchen, because that is where I keep my food and drink.

Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, I continued this pattern all throughout the house, starting with the hallway and continuing through the living room all the way until I reached my destination. It was not my final destination, but it was the one I most desired at the present moment and quite frankly the most necessary of all possible desires for the time. I opened the large white cooling box of food and drink storage to discover, to my dismay, that I had forgotten to buy more cow juice and would have to settle for something else to drink. On a normal day I typically enjoy a glass of chocolate milk, however I had run out of chocolate syrup and was settling for strawberry, even more unfortunate though was that I had run of that delicious bovine nectar and thus had to resort to the squeezed out juicy remains of the orange-colored fruit known as an orange. After making my decision I moved my legs, one after the other, so that I could reach the wooded containing unit of glass food and drink holders and obtain myself a drink holder for my orange-colored juice beverage. As with most things that open and close, this device had a door attached so moving this was necessary and I did achieve the goal of opening it. I then reached my upper starboard extremity ending in five protuberances into the wooden unit and wrapped the glass container like a Tentacruel strangling his landlubbering prey. I removed the cylindrical glass liquid holder and placed it upon a surface that would allow me to poor the orange juice into the top of the glass cylinder. To do this, it was necessary for me to raise the plastic liquid holder in the air above the glass cylinder and tilt it in such a way that would allow the liquid-colored orange to descend upon the unsuspecting object below, releasing a downpour of orange liquid upon the glass and drowning it for my own thirst-quenching desires. After filling the glass and returning the juice to its dark, icy prison, I raised it to my lips to taste the fruits of my labor. It was good. I then lowered the glass back down to the counter upon which it had previously rested and proceeding to move across the room of food and drink to the wooden storage unit containing food.

In this case the specific wooden food containing unit I was in search of was the one which held flavorful pieces of grain and sugar, some may call these cereal but I prefer cereál. I once again stood in place, both feet on the ground, my right leg to the right of my left and my left leg to the left of my right, staring at all of my delicious breakfast options. It was extremely difficult to choose between all of my possible choices but I eventually chose the cocoa pebbles as they were a much better option than the cocoa pebbles that were within the same and only box of cereál that sat within the wooden food storage containing unit. Following the acquisition of chocolate covered, grainy, sugar enhanced food morsels I crossed the kitchen once again, this time with the goal of obtaining a severely dented piece of glass that may have been a plate in an earlier life to fill with the chocolate covered, grainy, sugar enhanced, morsels of breakfast sustenance. Following the previous pattern of left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot I inevitable reached yet another destination in my quest for the destruction of hunger within my internal food melter. Opening another door, this time without the need of answer riddles three, I obtained the concaved glass object that I so greatly desired. I placed it down beside the glass of juicy orangeness and opened the box that I carried with me. Pulling out the plastic bag from within as if executing a Mortal Kombat finishing move, I tilted it as I had previously done with the plastic container of orange liquid only this time it was positioned above the miniscule wannabe glass bucket. Filling the container to the desired grain height, I filled the box of cardboard back up with its innards and returned it to the wooden storage unit of which it called home, for it must until the morrow when I shall seek sustenance once more for quashing the beast of hunger from within. Next stop was a utensil for consuming the chunks of nutrition. I shuffled to the side, cha cha real smooth style, and pulled a built-in wheel basket out from the wall-like storage unit composed of wood. Within lay multiple pieces of metal in various shapes and sizes. I contemplated grasping one of the slashy looking ones but figured that would do more harm to the cereál than I wanted, and the device that resembled a four fingered man's arm with nothing more than a single arm and a four fingered hand, not even a body, just would not suffice. Something about trying to prevent the pebbly choco bits from falling through the slats seemed off putting, almost as if it would be a hassle far greater than someone such as I would even contemplate wanting to put up with at such a time as this. Thus, I settled for the mini boat oar that someone appears to have punched, in a similar fashion to the glass object which currently held my chocolate covered, grainy, sugar enhanced food morsels. I then stabbed the silver utensil into the pile of sustenance and lifted both glass objects, each containing either a food or drink item for my consumption and enjoyment, with the hands that remained attached to the ends of my upper extremities throughout my entire existence on this planet leading up to this very moment in time.

Suddenly realizing that I had forgotten to feed the four-legged beast that had previously harassed me in hours past. Thus, I returned my nutritious breakfast food and drink portions to the place where they once rested so that I could retrieve the container of mammalian beast food to silence the monster that had not quite spoken yet I could hear the internal screams through her blank stare. I traversed the land of food to the island that sat in the center of the waterless sea and reached down to open the final door of the food quest and removed the container of cat food stuffs. This was followed by raising her own metal version of my glass cereál holder to a surface similar to that of which was currently holding my breakfast meal of food and drink, and scooped out mammalian sustenance pebbles with a plastic variant of my metal cereál scooper and transferred exactly five scoops of the substance into the metal basin. I then decided to do my good deed for the day by taking the time and effort required to move the bowl from its countertop roost down to its proper resting place where the feline annoyance could feast upon the chickeny pebbles. Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, the marching pattern repeated as I traveled far to obtain my breakfast meal of food and drink once more, the final once more of this specific quest. I traversed the plains once again, in yet another attempt to leave the land of food and drink and reach my next temporary resting place.

As I set foot in the room of living, I walked across a fuzzy carpeted floor, stepping past a chair and resting me bum on le couch like a potato. Or as some people may pronounce it, potato. And there I sat, sugary chocolate grain pebbles within a glass container in one hand and orange-colored fruit juice in a separate glass container in the other hand. I sat the juice filled glass cylindrical object upon a table near me and reached for the wireless remote controller device to active the television that stood before me. As I pushed the on button the screen of the television lit up from black to slightly lighter black. I then had to obtain a second remote to activate my firestick with a second push of a second on button on the second remote. This resulted in the screen turning from slightly lighter black to being full of colors, including: blue, darker blue, lighter blue, some yellow, white, red, orange, gray, more shades of gray but not quite fifty, a dash of green, and even a wee smidge of pink. I pushed the down button on the second remote until I made it all the way down the list to the second row which contained the two streaming services I use most, Disney+'s ancestor and the one that murdered blockbuster. I opted for the one that didn't kill blockbuster for this morning's audio-visual motion picture entertainment to coincide with my consumption of chocolate covered, sugar enhanced, grain molecule lumps and glass of orange flavored liquid. Sitting and waiting for it to load seemed to take forever, though I'm fairly certain is was less than a minute, which means it didn't even take a full sixty seconds. After sitting and waiting for a whopping fifty-four seconds, give or take, I selected my name on the user list and waited another twenty seconds or so before I could finally make a show selection. This process was grueling as I was unsure of whether I should continue watching the show that I had already been watching, or continue watching the show I had already been watching. This morning's choices have been extremely difficult do deal with. Finally, I made my decision, I would watch the show that I had already been watching over the course of previous mornings of watching entertainment while consuming edible food molecules before leaving for my hours of money providing labor.

Once finally beginning the show I could finally consume my sustenance. While Hey Arnold! may be a nice blast to the past, I gotta say the theme song seems a lot more annoying now than it did when I was a kid. I mean seriously, all it is is just yelling Arnold's name over and over again. Helga yells his name exactly seven times, throwing in the insult of football head once, and then everybody in the whole damn city of New York City, New York feels the need to yell his name one unison like a bizarre football head worshipping cult at top it all off. I'm also not sure how he doesn't seem to care about being stalked the entire time with someone repeatedly yelling his name, I'd at least be a little weirded out if it were me in his non-football shoes. But I digress. It was at this point that I began eating my cereál as I watched Arnold stalk two suspected potential murderers, it would appear their butcher friend may not be as safe as they thought. As I watched in suspense, I began to shovel the chocolate covered grain cereál into my mouth one metal utensil scoopful at a time. One scoop in mouth, crunch, crunch. Two scoops in mouth, crunch, crunch. Three scoops in mouth, crunch, crunch. The process of consuming chocolate covered grain sustenance in the form of sugary cereal took approximately somewhere between twenty and thirty scoops with the dented metal utensil if I were to guess, and I also guess right except for when I guess the incorrect answer. The orange flavored orange juice was drained from the glass cylinder quite quickly if I say so myself. Only took a few gulps and boom, no more juice. Setting the glass nutrition holders down on the table near me left me with nothing to do with my hands while I continued to watch Arnold get yelled at by stalkers in New York City.

This led to me decided to turn my mobile cellular device by pushing in the on button as I did before to light up the screen and tap it to open up the menu. I continued tapping away until I opened up PokeCommunity or, Pokémon Community if you prefer not to use abbreviations, on the world wide web internet browser. I decided to scroll through the forum games to have a little bit of fun and make the lats few posts needed to complete my last VPP, Virtual Pokémon Pet, Squirtlito the Squirtle. Making the rounds through the games I eventually came across the thread titled "If you open this thread, you must post" and seeing as how I had opened it, I was required to post. As I read through to see what I missed before making my post I noticed you, Megan, and Setsuna discussing the matter of quoting each other, and though brief as it was, I felt compelled to join in on the trapping of poor souls by luring them in with quotations. Seeing as I have a tendency to enjoy stupid humor it was practically impossible for me to resist this action that I was feeling compelled to take and thus I did just that, quoting both you and Setsuna to lure the two of you back into the trap. Now, you may be wondering "Why would you answer this question to such length?" Or as you may have phrased it, "Why is the answer 'yes'?", and that leads to an even further explanation.

Perhaps I should begin that answer, or rather explanation, from the point at which I first read this question, however some backstory for that may be necessary as well. Upon finishing my morning routine of waking up, consuming nutrients required for survival, etcetera, etcetera, I grabbed my keys and stepped out of the house. In order to step out of the house however, opening one of two final doors was necessary. The trick here though, is that the second to last door was an amalgamation of two doors, one being a wood like material and the other being glass, which is quite vexing when one truly puts some rigorous thought into it. After passing through the two doors door, I used one of many keys, specifically one designed for the two doors door's two locks, to lock both of the two locks on the two doors door. After locking the two locks of the two doors door I stepped down a flight of three steps to begin yet another march, this one being towards my four wheeled motorized vehicular machine designed for traversing significantly vast distances. I reached the machine and used another key specifically designed for it to unlock and open the last of the doors. Stepping inside and sitting up the seat of driving, I inserted the special key into the keyhole and rotated it to start the combustion process of the combustion engine to make it do combustion engine things required to start the motorized vehicular device to enable me to travel all the way to the place of which I work. Once the motor vehicle was activated, I shifted the gears into reverse so to backup out of my driveway and drive away. I turned right, then left, then right again, then left, then left, then another right, then another left. This continued for a long time until it was time to turn left once more followed by another long time before I turned right, then right, then right, then right, then left, and finally parked my car at work. I then opened the final door one last time to step out of the motor vehicle, but only after turning the special key once more to initiate the shutdown sequence of my motor vehicle. I then exited the vehicular machine and made my way into the large building by walking with one foot moving in front of the other.

Seeing as I work for the United Parcel Service, I move a lot of boxes for a living, I will now go into extensive detail about a lot of the boxes that I handled. There was one big box that was brown, there was another slightly smaller box that was brown as well.

Eventually two large rolls of carpet came down and I had to stuff those somewhere to make room for three very large boxes. There were even more boxes coming down still.

During this time, I began to contemplate some responses to various threads around the forums. I finally figured out an answer to the song lyric challenge calling for a song with the word "hopes", only too late to actually use my answer. I was thinking about the twenty questions game in pokémon trivia, pondering how long it will take people to solve that, then thought about my virtual pokémon pet and what my future choices for that will be. Then like Eminem, I snapped back to reality, ope there went gravity as I got hit by a box. Then another box, then another box, then another box, then another box, then a tube, then another box.

I finally left the trailer where I had loaded that small number of boxes into to feast upon the glorious meal I had crafted for myself long before my journey to this wretched place that pays my bills. I cracked open my Ziploc bag of cheezits and stuffed my face hole with the cheesey crackers. I then took a sip of liquid dihydrogen oxide from my liquid dihydrogen oxide jug composed of plastic materials. After hydrating myself with some good old-fashioned liquid, I pulled out my mobile cellular device to once more push the button that activates the glowy effect of the screen. I then tap tap tapped away until I reopened the pokémon community website and spotted a little red one on the bell icon notifying me of notifications that I have received. Upon tapping the icon, I was alerted to your quoting about my quoting and asking this very question: "I have to wonder what exactly made you do this. Are you willing to elaborate this in a 10000 words long essay? Why is the answer 'yes'?". As I'm sure you know by now, At least I hope you do if you've read this far, I've already answered the first question. As assume you may have realized by now, I am certainly willing to elaborate this in a ten-thousand-word long essay and I am quite amazed that you calculated the likelihood of this so well with the presumption that my response would be "yes". However, I am intrigued by the questioning of that, despite the accurate presumption. But in order to properly answer this, we may need to delve deeper into the meaning of the word "yes".

According to Dictionary.com, these are the various definitions of the word "yes"; "Adverb: (used to express affirmation or assent or to mark the addition of something emphasizing and amplifying a previous statement), example: 'Do you want that? Yes, I do.' (used to express an emphatic contradiction of a previously negative statement or command), example: 'Don't do that! Oh, yes I will!' (used, usually interrogatively, to express hesitation, uncertainty, curiosity, etc.) example: '"Yes?" he said as he opened the door. That was a marvelous show! Yes?' (used to express polite or minimal interest or attention.). Noun, plural yes·es. An affirmative reply. Verb: (used with object), yessed, yes·sing. To give an affirmative reply to; give assent or approval to. Interjection: (used as a strong expression of joy, pleasure, or approval.)" Yes in Spanish is Sí, Ja in German, Oui in French, Si in Italian, Sim, in Portuguese, ja in Swedish, Tak in Polish, Evet in Turkish, Ya in Indonesian, and да (Da) in Russian. While these definitions do help explain the basic meaning of the three-letter response, none of these seem to provide a solid answer to the deep philosophical meaning you seek as to why yes was the response chosen over no, but perhaps Anders Holmberg's writings in "The Syntax of No and Yes" may help.

"Even very short answers to yes–no questions like 'yes' and 'no' are full sentences, derived by ellipsis. They are a species of fragment answers. There are basically two types of answers, yes–no answers and verb-echo answers. The issue of how to answer negative questions is introduced. There are two different systems found among the languages of the world, which are illustrated. Some terminological issues are discussed, including the notion of grammaticality. The sources of the data are presented and discussed. The SSWL database is introduced."

"Charles Hamblin's theory of the semantics of questions is adopted as the basis of the theory of the syntax of yes–no questions. Syntactically there are two types of questions: those which list the alternatives overtly and those in which the alternatives are encoded as a variable, the question variable. The question variable in yes–no questions is a feature [±Pol(arity)], which is assigned a value in the answer. Chinese A-not-A questions are discussed, as a representative of the syntax of yes–no questions, A-not-A being the expression of [±Pol]. Yes–no questions in Finnish, English, and Thai are discussed, in particular how the question variable [±Pol] is encoded. The notion focus and disjunction are discussed. The possibility of negative questions shows that negation and polarity are distinct categories."

"Answers to yes–no questions are sentences even when they are just a question particle or just a verb. An answer can be a declarative sentence expressing one of the alternative propositions posed by the question, or it may be a focused polarity feature spelled out as a particle or supported by a moved verb or moved remnant PolP, assigning value to an unvalued polarity feature inherited from the question, with the IP (PolP) deleted. The identity condition on ellipsis in answers is discussed and the distribution of answer types among world languages. There are two types of verb-echo answers, one derived by pro-drop and VP-ellipsis, the other derived by verb movement or remnant PolP-movement. A distinguishing test is proposed. The verb-echo type derived by movement is characteristic of about 25% of the world's languages. The derivation of yes–no answers in Welsh, Finnish, and Thai is discussed in some detail."

"The two principal systems for answering negative questions are the truth-based system and the polarity-based system. In the former, the answer is 'yes', in the latter 'no', when confirming the negative alternative of a negative question. The distribution of the two systems among the languages of the world is examined. There is a clear areal distribution of the two systems, particularly in Eurasia. Systematic variation can occur within a language. Based primarily on a detailed study of English, it is argued that the choice between the two systems depends not on social conventions but on the syntax of negation: languages/constructions with low negation in questions have truth-based answers. Another factor is the syntax of the negative question. Positive and negative bias is discussed. The syntax of different types of negative questions and typological implications are discussed."

"Yes and no as rejoinders expressing agreement or disagreement with statements is discussed. Differences between this use and answers to questions are explained by the fact that statements do not include a question variable needing a value. Some other theories are discussed. Answers to yes–no questions with narrow focus are discussed. Two types are distinguished. In one type, represented by Finnish, Hungarian, and, with some reservations, Turkish, the question is the result of moving the focused constituent to the focus position in the C-domain, deriving a structure with a variable [±A], where the answer can assign a value directly to this variable. The other type has to resort to a bi-clausal cleft construction with a polarity variable."

"There is a polarity feature/head in the IP of every sentence, mostly abstract in declaratives, typically overt in yes–no questions, where it is always unvalued, receiving a value in the answer, typically in the shape of a focused valued polarity feature, spelled out as a particle or lexically supported by a moved verb or remnant IP (PolP). The existence of negative yes–no questions implies that polarity is distinct from negation. There are two systems of answering negative questions. The distinction is dependent on the syntax of negation and the syntax of biased questions."

Now, to be completely honest, I haven't actually taken the time to read any of that and have really just placed it in here as filler, so I have absolutely no idea how relevant any of it is to this extremely abnormal explanation. But isn't that what most people do when writing essays anyway? Just throw things in to fill up space in vain attempts to sound intelligent while meeting the minimum word or page requirements of said assignment? Though this isn't an assignment so much as it is a random request on a forum being responded to by a madman. Some people may consider me insane for going to such great lengths for an utterly asinine joke to which I say, "Meh".

So, in conclusion, the very reason for my committal to such an idiotic stunt is the very simple fact that I could, so therefore I did. Because when life gives you lemons, sometimes it's best to respond with "Sure, why shouldn't I do something completely absurd with these when given the opportunity?" And with that, having wasted both my time and yours with this essay that is exactly ten-thousand words, I bid you adieu. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

(If you actually took the time to read that, then I must also ask "Why?!")

First I was gonna give you props for that. Then I realized you actually tried to cheat. THOSE ARE NOT 10000 WORDS! WHOM ARE YOU TAKING ME FOR??? D:

You didn't even try to aswer the question seriously. I'm disappointed. Dis-Ap-Point-Ed!!!
