Assume the false premise that you are a seagull. If you wish to take over the world, what are some advantages and disadvantages that being a seagull would provide? How would you overcome these disadvantages?
Here are a few disadvantages for a seagull planning to take over the world, and how to overcome them.
- Seagulls can't talk, so communicating with humans will be exceedingly difficult. To overcome this the seagull should learn sign language, and only use deaf people as minions.
- Seagulls don't have arms so they can't wield guns or knives to encourage humans to do their bidding. To overcome this, the seagull should learn to carry hand grenades which they could use to eliminate uncooperative humans.
- Seagulls are dumb. The best way to overcome this is to wait for about seven hundred thousand generations until seagulls have evolved to have higher intelligence than humans.

All is not lost, though: here are some advantages:
- Seagulls can fly, so they can reach anywhere in the world very easily. Just avoid airplane fuselages.
- You will never have to worry about food, as people will feed you if you just go to the nearest park or pond.
- You have flippers. Flippers are awesome.
