You are dead and have gone to Hades. It is pretty boring. You cannot talk or move or see or sleep. All you can do is hear the constant self pitying/regretful wailing and gnashing of teeth of your fellow damned, as well as occasional mad laughter. You could really use a distraction.
On your 1st year anniversary of being dead, you are allowed to choose 1 living entity on Earth to observe until they die. Who do you choose?
- A relative.
- A friend.
- An acquaintance.
- A specific famous person.
- A random famous person.
- A non-famous person that you know of.
- A random person with a specific vocation or hobby.
- A random person.
- A random billionaire.
- A pet of yours that you left behind.
- A specific animal that you were familiar with, such as a squirrel that you used to watch.
- A plant that you used to be familiar with.
- A random animal from a specific species.
- A random plant from a specific species.
- Some other random living being from a specific species.
- I would ask for a completely random pick.
- A random person who is addicted to streaming movies and TV shows.
- I would decline the offer based on principle.
- I would decline the offer but not due to principles.
- You forgot blah, blah, blah! In addition- my answer is too interesting to be easily classified. Therefore, I hereby vote Other!
- I don’t know myself well enough to answer!

- I try to change the subject. (Good luck with that!)
- I say nothing at all and let them rant.

Don’t fight the hypothetical. This question is about a wedding that you would otherwise want to go to. The people getting married are people you love and want to see married. If you never go to weddings under any circumstances this poll isn’t for you.
So you are invited to a wedding. Let’s say it’s your nephew that you love and like and want to see get married. The wedding is in a convenient enough venue that you can go without issue.
The bride and groom have made the dress code very clear in the invitations. They have a theme. They require either black evening gowns or black suit, black tie and white shirt. A tux is not required but it must be a black suit.
Do you:
- Go to the wedding and comply with the dress code, I already have what is required in the closet.
- Go to the wedding and comply with the dress code, I will have to buy a new outfit or part of one.
- You’re not the boss of me! I’m not going because of the dress code.
- You’re not the boss of me! I’m going but I’m wearing what I want!
