Would You Rather...
« on: October 17, 2011, 05:05:58 PM »
A new game!

Rules/Procedure:
1) Answer the previous poster's Would You Rather. You can give whatever explanations/caveats you want, but you have to pick one OR the other -- "both"/"all" and "neither"/"none" are not valid options!
2) Ask a new Would You Rather, offering at least two choices to the next person. These choices should be related, but don't have to be more than tangentially.
3) If you want to answer an older-than-the-most-recent Would You Rather, you can -- but you ALSO have to follow #1 and #2 above.

...

Would You Rather...
 
* Own a vacation home on the Moon you and your immediate family could travel to regularly (but not bring any guests!)

OR

* Own a resort on the Moon that you could rent out rooms and such from and charge people to travel to regularly (but never visit yourself!)

I would own a resort on the moon. Ernie puts it nicely in this song...

Would you rather:

Live by yourself where the nearest neighbor is at least 25 miles away ("uphill both ways" as my dad used to say)

or

Live in an apartment complex where the people are close enough that you could pound on the walls at each other?

Give me solitude or give me drugs so I can believe I have solitude! *rabbles*

Would you rather:

Have constant but non-debilitating physical pain

or

Have two surgical procedures per year that would require one week of bed rest + taking prescription pain medication for recovery?

Oof, a hard one! I think I'd probably opt for the constant-but-non-debilitating option over surgery twice a year every year; if nothing else, I'd max out my insurance way too quickly.

Would You Rather:

Have a full-sized adult dragon as your roommate for a year, in your current home

OR

Live with all of your exes as roommates for a year, in your current home?

Assume you're responsible for making whatever accommodations are necessary in either case!

Live with my exes.  A dragon would probably eat me, and I'd rather go through the lunacy of my ex's than be dead.

Would you rather:

Be stranded on a desert island in the Pacific during peak Hurricane season

OR

Be stranded in a remote area of Alaska during a winter storm?

Assume you have the necessary water and food to make it through your stranding, but would be responsible for your own shelter.

As much as I'd like to say desert island, Alaska is just the safer bet. Igloos hold off high winds better than sand-castles.

Would you rather...
Have to drink A&W root beer as your only sustenance for the rest of your life, supplemented by a multivitamin

or

Be cursed to only ever have computer monitors with big batches of missing pixels all over? Say, about 30% of them.

I really like root beer, but I think I'd go with the missing pixels.

Would you rather have amazing orgasms almost whenever you want them but be in love with someone who finds you, at best, occasionally amusing (for whatever reason(s), you will never love anyone else as much as you love this individual)

or

Have anyone you love reciprocate to whatever extent you wish, but never be able to have an orgasm?

Ooooh. That's a tough one. The first option is pretty much the status quo with the added suckniess that my happiness will always be tainted, but the second one... yeah, I'd actually go for that.

Would you rather be able to hear your parents having sex for the rest of your life, or have sex with them once to make it stop?

I'm going to go with hear, because my parents likely will die before I do, so this is not a thing I will be enduring forever. The other option would likely send me to a mental health hospital, though, or at least the inpatient unit of a psych ward.

Would you rather have a totally free, all-expenses paid weeklong vacation to ANYWHERE in the world during which you could not access the net at all (excepting using an ATM or printing out your return boarding pass); or be put up for a week in a cruddy motel in a place you don't want to visit with only ramen, cheapass pizza, and vending-machine foods/sodas/water to eat, but will be given a state of the art personal computer with any programs you want installed, totally comfy chair and desk setup, and the most lightning-fast full-throttle net connection that ever left Mercury himself panting in its wake?

Making it only for week makes that choice far too easy. The latter is only appealing as a lifestyle. I can't finish my gaming backlog in a week! On the other hand, I'm betting pot and hookers count as expenses. To Amsterdam!

WOULD YOU RATHER:

Choose a person to die immediately, or choose the manner (not time!) of your death?

Ooh, i would choose the manner of my death so i could make it as painless and quick as possible.

You receive a brain injury in a accident. What injury would be the worst?

a) losing your long term memories completely, so your memory starts from when you wake up after the accident, you cannot remember the past at all.

b) be unable to make new memories,  you can remember everything that happened before the accident, but you cannot retain any new memories at all.

The latter, I think. I'd hate to be the female lead in 50 First Dates, which is basically what that is; it seems too hard to rebuild your life!

Here's a frivolous one.

Would you rather...
A) Have one Perfect Outfit that is suitable for all purposes and occasions, but have to wear it every day for a year

OR

B) Have a full closet of different outfits for the entire year, but each one is disposable and only able to be worn once, and if you run out of, say, all your casual options you'd have to wear something non-casual from then on?

I'm basically in situation B (SO many clothes, but all very old and getting tattery), and I must say I'd rather have A, as long as it managed to never get horribly stained.

Would you rather have a free lifetime subscription to a multimedia service that streamed every movie ever made and allowed you to download or be mailed (on a temporary basis) every game that has ever been made, or be a successful novelist?

Novelist. Didn't even have to think about it. I can pay for the games and movies as long as I have sufficient income... but not just anyone can become a novelist, and I would dearly love that.

Would you rather have a relationship that was comfortable, pleasant, financially sound and pretty certainly stable for the long term but lacking in passion (ie, you get your sexual needs met, but in the same way that vitamin pills and, like, MREs will feed you) or a relationship that's on-and-off, brings stress and drama, is prone to theatrical highs and lows, takes a hammer to your bank account on a regular basis, but good goddamn the sex is frakking amazing and happens as often as you could want it?

I'd choose comfort because the alternative would result in homicide. Stability is better for me than see-saw or roller coaster emotions of doom.

would you rather:
a) be haunted by the ghost of a child who constantly badgers you with questions whenever you are awake at home.
or
b) live next to a loud factory that is only in operation when you sleep.

Evidence of an afterlife would pretty much solve my sleeping issues. Give me the ghost.

Kill yourself, or kill the person who saved your life?
