I hate this shit...
"I should probably get something done. It'd also get my mind off what's stressing me so badly."
Excellent idea, brain! Way to go!
"I should handle the dishes."
"I should clean my room"
But both can not be done simultaneously, and I'm getting so stuck trying to prioritize that neither is happening.
If I were to make a list of specific things I'd like to delete from myself, this is number 2 on the list!
JUST PICK SOMETHING, BRAIN! GOD DAMN IT!

There is a flaw in that paradox. If the subject is smart enough to know you can live longer without food than without water, he will get the water first.
If sticking with a literal donkey, that same fact will result in thirst getting worse faster than hunger, and a decision will be made.
If the ass is only a metaphor and we stick me in there, I will not feel hunger or thirst correctly and forget I need either and simply die unbothered by hunger or thirst.
