This thread is for a “Would You Rather…?” game, in which you tell us which of the previous poster’s two options you’d rather choose (and explain why), and then choose two of your own for the next poster.
Options should, ideally, be somewhat equally palatable or unpalatable.
I’ll start with a classic one of these.
Would you rather freeze to death, or be burned alive?
Deaf, and again an easy choice, as blind would mean I would have to alter everything about my life, whereas deaf, I’d just have to learn not to be paranoid that people were talking about me behind my back.
It’s July. Would you rather vacation (with your significant other) on the seashore, or in the mountains near a lake?
Would you rather, when you’re old and alone, rekindle a romance with your first love or find someone new?
I’d rather find someone new. My first love is now a psychiatrist who happens be one of the main “Truthers.”(you know, 9/11 was a conspiracy) She still looks great, but she’s more than a little nutty. I’ll find someone new and tell her what a great baseball player I was back in High School. Ignorance is bliss.
Would you rather be liked for your intellect or your sense of humor?
Take the cross-country trip. I get claustrophobic, and being stuck in a 90 degree elevator would be hell - no matter who was with me.
Assume you won the $400 million powerball jackpot. Would you rather get the lump sum payout, or get yearly allotments of your money for the rest of your life?
Would you rather fight a tiger barehanded to the death or an elephant?
Bring on the Elephant.
I wouldn’t have a chance against a fast, nimble tiger, but if I could avoid getting stomped on I could get to the side and maybe kick the elephant in the nuts. One shot is better than no shot.
Would you rather get caught cheating on your spouse or catch him/her cheating on you?
I’d rather watch the same favorite TV episode, since it’s an hour long episode of Northern Exposure : Ed Chigliak dubs *Prisoner of Zenda *into Tlingit.
