Title: Would you rather?
Post by: Mr.Obvious on February 20, 2018, 06:09:01 PM
Time for a game?

Would you rather. I think we all know this one.
I ask you to choose between two options. You answer and give us your reasoning. Once you give your answer, you must pose a dillema of your own so the game can continue.

Would you rather:
Be able to read all languages, but not be able to speak at all.
OR
Be able to speak all languages, but not be able to read at all.

(P.S. In option 1: sign-language is excluded, you can communicate in sign-language. But your voice doesn't work.)
Title: Re: Would you rather?
Post by: Sal1981 on February 20, 2018, 06:14:14 PM
First option, since I'd still have sign language to communicate with deaf people and others who know sign language.

---

Would you rather live for one thousand years -or-

forced to live 1 million years, with no option to die for 1 million years?
Title: Re: Would you rather?
Post by: Baruch on February 20, 2018, 06:35:11 PM
First option (you are implying that you could die in less than 1000 years, if you wanted to.  Definitely not the second option.  Too much of a good thing ... or a bad thing, depending.  The point of life isn't quantity, it is quality.

Would you rather be a male bee who mates with the queen and dies immediately afterward -or-
be a female drone who gets shit done in the hive?

option B (chance of being a queen and then all the mens are mine)

Would you rather

Become extremely rich but by illegal means, knowing you could be caught and jailed any time for it -or-
Work hard all your life for your wealth, but have no energy or zest for life to spend it on, just a workus.

I'd rather be consumed by my work and never have time to take a vacation.

Would you rather be a brilliant author who never had any privacy or a brilliant author who was never famous?

Second.  I could live with a lack of fame (it's the default) but a lack of privacy would be unbearable.

Would you rather...

..never play computer games again -OR- never watch any video on a computer again?

Easy. I'd give up the videos because (1) I could get a TON of more stuff done without YouTube to distract me, (2) since you specified I couldn't watch on a computer, you imply that I can watch videos on other devices if I REALLY wanted to, and (3) video games are much more fun.

EDIT: Oops. Almost forgot to make my own dilemma.

Would you rather:

  • Be able to fly, but never land. (You float.)
  • Have super strength, but touching others is always fatal.

Easy, A, it's more adaptable then B were those I love would get hurt.

Would you rather-

A: have a dream home just the way you like it, but be living on a tiny island with limited community and only a couple shops.
B: live in a lackluster home but live somewhere with all conveniences and mod cons nearby like in a city or town.

B. People are what is important, not things, not even personal goals.

I have lived in the big metro and in the village.  They are both filled with entertaining idiots.  Haven't you heard of Goldilocks?  What is best is not too hot but also not too cold etc.

Would you rather have a tiny home (the new kind of do it yourself mobile home that is actually mobile) that can support Internet and your laptop, that you can take anywhere ... or have a palatial estate that is immobile, where even you, the owner, doesn't know all the rooms, or all the servants?

I’d rather stay in one place with a nice home than have a mobile home, I’m not one for traveling anyway.

Would you rather go back in time and live as a prosperous Roman, with all the amenities of the era but without the ability to change anything and minus modern technology, or live as a low/middle class person in the modern era with all the technology like medicine and internet but with no way to advance your social and economic standing but plenty of ways to decline?

Say as a Roman you live during Pax Romana

don't really have much of a choice for me but to live today, I'd be dead in 3 days living in roman times, so gotta go with the second option, need insulin.

Would you rather have summer heat all year round but having no AC or fans to speak of (you'd have plenty of water), or live in a perpetual cold place with limited means to keep warm (like only having a fireplace and wood to burn)

Summer please, if i can take two quick showers a day, i can manage. Plus all The girls would be wearing summer outfits.
I have bad joints and a back that act up in winter. Plus my eternal cold would become eternal cold from hell, all year round. I don't like winter, like at all.

Would you rather be pushed around in a adult sized stroller everywhere you go, for one year OR have to drink anything you drink from a baby-bottle for five years?

I'd choose the baby bottle. The latter option can be used more in privacy, while being pushed around in a stroller is a very public thing. If I had to drink something when I was away from home (which I could avoid doing), I could just tell people that I lost a bet.

Would you rather:

    A. Become immune to sickness and injury for the rest of your life, but lose half of your remaining lifespan.

    B. Double your remaining lifespan, but become twice as susceptible to sickness and injury.

I suspect this would depend on the environment.  The more likely you are to die prematurely from sickness/injury, the better option A becomes and vice versa.  Still, I would go for option A.  Spending those twilight years infirm sounds extremely undesirable.  Plus, it'd open all new career paths.  Circe d'soliel, here I come!

Along the medical train of thought, there's a new procedure than can cure any wound/illness but it causes horrific agonizing pain but you won't remember any pain afterwards.

Would you rather undergo the new procedure or never use it?

I’d go for it, no memory means no pain.

Would you rather download yourself into an android body that looks the same as you do but is immune to most if not all diseases and is physically way stronger, albeit sterile. Or keep your original body with nanites that fight off infection and get rid of excess fat and repair/modify muscles and body parts for them to be at peak efficiency

Keep my original body. I am quite happy with it, even with how bad of shape I leave it in... so to have it automatically want to balance out at fit and healthy? Yes please.

Would you rather magically always get what you want (however you are not able to trade it for currency or anything, it dissapears when you no longer want it) so long as it is not useful, or always get what you need (but you have to work for all your wants).

The bag. Doesn't mean i have to suck The dicks inside it, just The bag itself.

The needs. I don't mind working and if i got all my wants, i think i'd become an insufferable prick.

Unless there was a genuine reason I'd want them to do that, I'd probably go for B, and even then wonder why I'd be doing this?

Live forever, but have to face the fact your see everyone you love die and be there when the sun goes super and the earth is destroyed, or have god like powers to do whatever you want, but would become burned out and die from it within a year.

Living forever would become torture eventually. And then you're just floating through and endless vacuum of space, wishing you were dead. Now there are some propositions I've heard, although I don't know if they have any merit to them, that the universe may not actually expand out indefinitely. If the universe does have a circularly lifespan, where the universe converges into a single point to create another big bang, maybe there is a slight chance an immortal being could find other life forms again. But even still, those countless years in between, hoping to bump into something other than yourself that is alive, would be torture.

Having only one year to live would suck, but it would be preferable to the latter. Plus, that one year could be the happiest time of my life, and I could spend it making the world into a utopia, albiet a short one. With unlimited power to do with as I please, I could even manipulate people's minds. I could cure the insanity of the violent religious, such as ISIS, showing them the error of their ways. I could provide for the hungry, heal the sick, stop natural disasters (maybe even set the tectonic plates so they wouldn't cause earth quakes until long after I'm gone). I could accomplish instantly what would take me years to do otherwise, such as create video games and write novels. When I'd finally die, I'd feel accomplished and I would be remembered as the cause of a weird point in history when people stopped being stupid.

I live with diabetes, and don't have to avoid sugar like they make out you have to, just lessen it a lot, and hiv well I'd live in fear of effecting my boyfriend every time I kiss him, so no, sooner have diabetes, which I already got.

I feel it is important to point out that even untreated HIV can't be transmitted through kissing. The CDC has stated "Across three different studies, including thousands of couples and many thousand acts of sex without a condom or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) no HIV transmissions to an HIV-negative partner were observed when the HIV-positive person was virally suppressed. This means that people who take ART daily as prescribed and achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of sexually transmitting the virus to an HIV-negative partner."

I would rather never be able to undress provided my clothes were somehow always clean. I've been to nude beaches and such but I don't want to be naked in the cold or wet in the rain and snow.

Would you rather live the rest of your life:

A: 500 years in the future, or
B: 500 years in the past?

If i went to The past, despite all i know today, i'd wind up dead in a year or five.  500 hundred years from now might prove mad Max or snowpiercer landscapes. But i'm hopeful. Future please.

My father probably lost his while in the Navy.  He said the girls in the Italian bordellos were nice.

Debby does Dallas, since my dads dead and gives me a good excuse to focus on my phone while it plays
Honestly can't think of a worse fate the watching any of the fifty shades movies.

Taking an example from junji itos horror comic hellstar remina, where an eldritch horror shaped like a planet crossed the solar system, devouring planet after planet, before it arrived to earth to devour it, you have two choices.

Would you rather:
A: Stay on earth and face your fate so it was over quickly as the eldritch horror consumes the planet.
B: Get on the only rocket ship to fly away from the planets orbit and avoid being consumed, but with only limited supplies on board like a years worth of food, knowing you'd die slowly of starvation.

You are living in a poor, war-torn country with no ability to immigrate.

Fall into the ocean.  I don't think my corpse can spoil the ocean, but I would hate to spoil the pudding.

Would you rather be the richest native on Yap (they use immobile stone rings for money) or the poorest guy in BitCoin land?

Bitcoin land.  And sell immediately.  Anything beat stones as pocket money.

Would you rather play air hockey or poll for a year?

I'd play air hockey. It's fun, and I'm good at it :D

Would you rather:
A. run a marathon
B. or take part in a triathlon?

Triathlon: less bad on my back and joints.

Would you rather:
Be right for all the wrong reasons?
OR
Be wrong for all the right reasons?

I seldom lost at air hockey.  To the point where I could never gets friends to play and strangers got annoyed (the only air hockey table in town was in in the bowling alley).  Oh do I wish I could find a place to play that again!

I couldn't get anyone to play my favorite game AND there was no pro circuit at that time.

Trump. See, I know what cheeto dust tastes like, it's that taste like the other side of the tracks, of failed parenting and extremely low expectations for life, of child abandonment and underage drinking.
That taste which feels like you've been marked by a trailer park, like the smell on the bus home from the five year olds and their mama June guardians.

But Hillary, if I kissed that, I'd have 2 days to live from the snake venom.


Would you rather be caught naked in public in a suggestive situation, or falling into the ocean without a parachute

Caught in a compromising position naked in public ;-)  I have a streak of exhibitionism.  I once spent an entire day at work, in a military facility, dressed as Snow White ;-))

Would you rather ...

Be dressed for Halloween as a rabbi or an SS officer?

Rabbi, I'd aim to look like Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, since I liked that episode of simpsons.

Would you rather, if offered several billion dollars/pounds, give up an arm, or a leg?

Do I have to pick one or the other? You can't offer me enough money to permanently damage myself. But if I had to choose...leg, I guess? I could use the money to buy a prosthetic leg, but even the best prosthetic arms can't mimic the precise movements of a human hand. Plus, the hand is very important for the sense of touch.

Would you rather...go on a one-way trip to an alien planet as a pioneer, or be transported 2,000 years into the future and never allowed to return?

Alien planet. thinking of the state of the world today, and what it would be like in 2000 years would just be depressing to experience. Plus might have some sexy alien boys.

I couldn't think of a question so turned to websites for ideas, and found some interesting ones.

Would you rather be completely invisible for one day or be able to fly for one day?

Nice one. Invisible. I'd probably use my power for crime, if i had it for one day. Strangely. Though i feel like i'd use it for good if i had it forever.

Would you rather go first in a 1v1 russian roulette game, or second?

First. Assuming the gun holds six bullets at a time, the first person to go has a 1/6 chance of death, while the second has a 1/5 chance of death. The chance increases the longer you go.

Would you rather fight a bear or a great white shark?

LOL on most of those questions...

1.  I'd rather kiss Hillary than Trump.  Hillary is a woman.
2.  I wouldn't give up any part of my body for money.  Money is over-rated.
3.  2,000 years in the future.  I would find a way to get by.
4.   Invisible for a day would be nice.  With planning, I would be set for life.
5.  In Russian Roulette, 6th.  The odds are actually all the same.  But being 6th you would know and just shoot the leader of the game.
6.  Definitely rather be attacked by a bear than a shark.  Bears are more easily driven off.  Aside from repellents, a rebar into the nose or eye is sufficient.  Sharks are more stupidly determined to "taste" you.

You miss a point, I think.  The bullet could go off for other people.  The odds are, using your fractions, you get
0.17
0.20
0.25
0.33
0.50
For the first 5 shooters meaning a 0.83 chance it WON'T get to 6th.
When of course it is 1/6 each time.

I'll let you find the error of your fractions...  LOL!

But, Cavebear,  there were only 2 people playing the game, hence the 1v1 designation.

skyrim.

I'd download sex mods and go around screwing everyone in whiterun. At counts as pacifist behavior if their enjoying themselves.

would you rather be alone in a hot air balloon over the pacific ocean for a week, or alone in a submersible deep below the ocean for a week.

How the hell do you get those sex mods to work? They're always so glitchy. ...Asking for a friend. lol

That's a hard one. I think I'd go with a submarine, even though they're cramped as hell and would make be feel claustrophobic. At least I'd be safe from the elements. Plus, I'm afraid of heights, so hot air balloons are a big hell no.

Can't remember if anyone's done one like this before, but here goes. Would you rather have wizard blood from Harry Potter or Force powers from Star Wars?

Usually I got mods from this website below and downloaded them manually into my Skyrim mods folder.

[spoiler]https://www.loverslab.com/forum/4-skyrim/[/spoiler]

I'd have to say wizard blood, because force blood would involve a lot more training in physical fighting, plus with the right spells learned you could do what the force does with magic.

Would you rather be a superhero who has to hide their identity for what it might do to you and your loved ones, or be completely open about it to the public and what that brings?

Hot air balloon, definitely! Especially if I weren't too high to see whales breaching.

Hmmm, I never imagined 2 person Russian Roulette.    I'm sorry I missed the description.  It is so ingrained that there is 1 bullet and six people, I overlooked something there. 

OOPSIES...
