I personally feel it is exactly the sprit of community is designed for, no? This community explicitly welcome potentially stupid question in the hope that good discussions can arise from it.
I agree that this question is indeed werid and perhaps even deserves to be called “stupid question”, but I feel this is what this community is welcoming, no?

The original purpose of the subreddit its named after was for questions that you’d feel stupid asking. Like “how often do I actually have to wash a hoodie?” Like common knowledge things you just don’t know. Askreddit was for casual or goofy questions like this.
There is no rule that makes this question unsuited but personally I think it’s a useless community without a strict theme. R/nostupidquestions just became r/askreddit2 and I expect the same to come from this one without any clear rules or moderation.

Exactly. I totally agree.
I think a really good way to avoid crap like this is to make a rule not allowing hypotheticals on the sub.

Yeah. I think it could also use a ban on current politics, too, but not because it’s against the spirit of the community. Feels like most political questions are either bait or “I’m too lazy to read the news or read the comments of any news post so can you brief me on it”
