chair jockey Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 The person above you has offered you a tough choice. Make the choice, then offer a different, tough choice to the person below you. Try not to make the choices too unpleasant, just somewhat challenging. I'll go first. Do you choose to feel smart but be stupid, or to feel stupid but be smart? Link to post Share on other sites
Not Active Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I choose to feel stupid, but be smart. Would you like to meet your idols, or be the most popular person in your area? Link to post Share on other sites
chair jockey Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 I choose to meet my idols. Being popular is a burden and a chore in reality. Would you choose a million dollars with one year to live, or one dollar with a million years to live? Link to post Share on other sites
kani Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 One year for me. Just travel the world and die. Million years is just an awfully long time. Would you rather always have enough money but also huge debts, or never have much money but not have any debts? Link to post Share on other sites
chair jockey Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Never have much money but not have any debts! Having money attracts sharks even when you're debt-free. Would you rather never have a child or be the biological parent of the Messiah? Link to post Share on other sites
Scottthespy Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Never have a child, but that's an easy one for me. Would you rather go vegan, or do all your slaughter and collection of byproducts yourself? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm already a vegetarian so I'd rather go vegan Would you rather lose one arm but have the remaining one work more perfectly than ever, or keep both arms but have them always stiff and extra clumsy? Link to post Share on other sites
borkfork Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Lose an arm. Would you rather own pair of socks that lasts forever that you wear every day or have to wear socks every day but keep buying new socks. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 The latter, I'm bare footed so much and also I like wearing tights so I definitely don't want to be stuck with socks on all the time (do tights count as socks though? tights are slippery when bare footed though so that would be no good too) Would you rather live somewhere that is constantly dark or live somewhere that is always so bright you need sunglasses?

kani Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I already live somewhere where it's dark for half of the year and it makes me depressed af. Would you rather have your full name or a picture of you on all your accounts on the internet? Link to post Share on other sites
chair jockey Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Picture. The technology to steal someone's identity based only on an image with no text is not quite here yet. Would you rather eat a food you really dislike or skip the meal even though you have appetite? Link to post Share on other sites
ItWasNiceKnowingYou Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'll skip the meal. Already do that anyways Would you rather die saving a stranger you don't know or live knowing that a stranger died to save you? Link to post Share on other sites
Not Active Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Live knowing a stranger died to save me. Would you rather be stuck on an island with 5 hoomans or 5 doggos (or other creature of your choice). Link to post Share on other sites
Homer Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Dogs. Isn't this supposed to be tough? Would you rather have a job that you hate but that pays off well, or like your job and be just above poverty line (or so)? Link to post Share on other sites
nanogretchen4 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Five humans. Would you rather lose your ability to read and write or your ability to speak and understand speech? Link to post Share on other sites
nanogretchen4 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Ninja'd. I'd rather have the job I loved and be broke, unless the lousy day job paid so well I could afford to work part time or retire early and do what I loved for free. Link to post Share on other sites
Correner Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I rather lose the ability to speak and understand speech. Would you prefer to die by drowning or burning? Link to post Share on other sites
kani Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Burning, I've heard it's strangely not that bad. Would you rather go to the past and possibly cause huge changes to your current life (butterfly effect), or go to the future and for sure cause huge changes possibly resulting at the end of the world?

chair jockey Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Past. I dislike my present enough that I'd risk it. Would you rather be lavishly rewarded for shitty non-achievements, or not be rewarded at all for major achievements. Link to post Share on other sites
RhuinHruda Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Oi! I started this thread ages ago. It's called "Would You Rather...?" And it's far superior, despite being dead and buried for approx. three years..... And now I'm going to resurrect it. Because I'm petty like that. Link to post Share on other sites

Would you rather be lavishly rewarded for shitty non-achievements, or not be rewarded at all for major achievements. Since I already played in RhuinHruda's thread..I'll answer Chair jockey's too Not be rewarded at all for major achievements...because the achievements themselves would be the rewards. Would you push a child out of the way of the proverbial oncoming bus knowing you would die instead, or would you do nothing and live with the knowledge that you could have saved that child?

chair jockey Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'd save the child. Rationally speaking I don't value my life much. Would you choose to have the best feeling possible if that killed you instantly, or would you choose to feel only mildly good for many years? Link to post Share on other sites
Correner Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Mildly good for many years, I don't view euphoria as a goal. Feeling mildly good would be a stable mood, and thus useful. Would you rather lose the ability to perceive motion or distinct shapes. (Basically remove either all your magnocellular cells or parvocellular cells.) Link to post Share on other sites
chair jockey Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Motion. That's a useful ability only to predatory animals, and I'm prey. Would you rather dance until you dropped dead or never dance again? Link to post Share on other sites

Would you rather be ruled by ruthless tyrannical aliens or ruled by a strong, intelligent bunch of Super Roses? Link to post Share on other sites
RhuinHruda Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Roses as in, like, the flower? I guess the Super Roses, as you described the other ones as tyrannical and ruthless. That doesn't seem like a tough choice.... Would you rather eat ice cream (removing all issues of allergies or lactose-intolerance or animal-products) knowing you'll get a brain freeze every time, or never eat it again?

chair jockey Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'd eat it. Would you rather get only three hours sleep and have to force yourself to wake up or just not sleep all night? Link to post Share on other sites
Correner Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Not sleep all night. I have done both these things and the second results in me being more awake the next day. Would you rather live in a house with no windows, or with the external border consisting of 90% window. Link to post Share on other sites
