Man I'm just glad I wasn't drinking anything as I read that.
So you came up with a pointless test and your last fallback is that now I don't get to decide whether the story is fake? I already walked through my thought process. It goes along the lines of you are free to make whatever claim you want but you had better be prepared to back it up when challenged on it.
I first challenged it by explaining Hippos aren't native to New Zealand. I already explained why I say New Zealand based on your local timezone being 2 hours ahead of mine. Since I am already so far ahead of many people in terms of time, if anyone is ahead of me then that really narrows it down to a fare few. The most logical place is New Zealand. If not then a tiny Island above New Zealand called Fiji or the East most side of Russia.
Then you decided to push the matter further so then I challenged by explaining that a hippo sighting would not only be strange but also very dangerous and so you should call the authorities and let them find it and deal with it. If you know what you saw then you would have no problem calling the local authorities. Since the news like interesting stories to boost the ratings that would no doubt be a notable event for them to tell. It all comes down to whether or not you made that phone call and they did find this talking hippo. I asked whether you did and you avoided the question so you mustn't have made that call.
My methodology involves challenging the claims to see if they hold up to scrutiny. What happens if I do all that but the claim does hold up in the end?
Here are a few examples of when I did that to the Bible and yet they all held up to scrutiny every time. That is the difference. You yourself asked me to compare the two Judas passages and I did just that.

You are twisting my words I said you don't get to "assume" based on your method. You can decide based on facts NOT assumptions.
I have told you repeatedly that location has absolutely no bearing on this story whatsoever. Yet you are intentionally assuming that it does. Trying to be difficult and bad sport for a simple thought excersise.
Let me walk you through the error in your thinking.
- Firstly you assume I am from country x based on post times. You are merely guessing here as I could be a night owl or a very early morning riser like Mark Walberg for instance. You are assuming that I follow same morning routine as you smh.
- Secondly you are assuming that in order for a talking, walking hippo I described to be real a country MUST have ordinary hippos. Describe to me how that follows? That could've been the only hippo in that country you don't get to rule out the possibility of one. For example pandas were considered rumors until one was found after decades of searching.
- Thirdly location is not important otherwise you would have to dismiss Noah gathering Polar Bears and kangaroos on the same basis. So forget wherever you imagine I might be from and focus on the story instead.
- Fourthly this is a non interactive claim you do not get any additional information. Can you call upon Tacitus and challenge his claims? Can you write an email to jesus to confirm if he is serious about being god? Are any of the so called witnesses from the bible available for interrogation?
‐ Lasty you are assuming that if a story not on the news its not true. What if I did't want the attention, what if I did go to the news and they turned me down have you considered dozens of possibilities?
You making an assumption after assumption after assumption.
I don't think you have established a single fact here your entire assessment is based purely on pedestrian levels of assumptions. No wonder you lapped up the bible so eagerly you have rather absent lack of critical thinking.
Also I just seen your recent post history. Almost all your posts are interactions with me. HOLY shit you are a genuine stalker I knew you were a weirdo but this obsession to try and guess where I am from monitoring my every posts is a bit much. Look if you are here with some kind of malicious intent trying to dox me its not going to end well for you. If you continue down this path going to have a little chat with mods possibility actual authorities.
