Besides, the books it features by Kafka, Borges and Cortazar are far from their best.
The answer to your question is Lydia Davis, OP, but this is a sucky chart

Thank you, I don't really know much about short stories. I hope I'm not getting memed though. I was gonna get the complete short stories of kafka, I actually have that in my cart on amazon right now. Waiting til the time is right to buy it.

I hear that invisible cities is really deep, I think I'll pick that one up as well.

That's because it's about short short stories, not short stories in general. Dreamtigers has some of Borges' shortest work.
I think most of these are aimed to contain mostly those of one page long

What are the deepest most mind fucky existential books on the list, that will make make you feel like you just got blasted off of like 5 hits of strong weed on your first time every trying weed?

Agreed, get the Hemingway short story collection, definitely worth reading. Also just anything by chekov
