Post scenarios and discuss your answers.

I’ll start off with;

Would you rather be fluent in every language or be able to play every instrument?

Also, no werewolf would-you-rathers.

I would rather play ever instrument. What use is the language gonna do? Music is cool.


Would you rather be famous or know someone who would become famous?

Author

Ooh, as someone who can’t do either, but is a dumb American, I’d definitely pick the instrument one.

I think I would pick playing every instrument, too. I’m probably not gonna go to any non-English speaking countries anyway, and playing instruments is impressive if you can even play one.

I’d rather know someone who would be famous. Being famous sucks, you’re constantly being harassed by paparazzi, and every detail of your life is now a public matter to be scrutinized by everyone.

As cromulent as it would be to be omnilingual, I really wanna learn how to play the sax, the banjo, and the theremin, so I’ll have to go with Door #2.

Would you rather watch The Room or The Phantom Menace?

The Phantom Menace for me. The Room gave me brain damage.

The Room, easily. It’s more funny and much shorter than TPM.

Would you rather physically age slower but live half as long as you would normally or physically age faster but live twice as long?

I’ll go with the latter.


Related: Would you rather die right now, or live forever, but completely isolated from anyone, living off the land?

Well, I don’t have too much to live for anyway so I guess dying now would be okay.

I feel like living long while everyone you care about dies around you over and over would be a bit depressing.

But that could still happen today. A bus could hit your whole family—you never know.

In a lot of situations, but not all, I would take life instead of death.

I wouldn’t know what to do if I had to live off the land, so either choice has the same result. Better to get it done sooner and I assume painlessly.

If it’s painless, I’ll go right now. Regardless of the other option.

I have no family. Put my boy in the ground yesterday.
So, Fingers crossed.

Are you sure you’re doing alright, man?

Wow, I guess I’m the only one who would pick omnipolyglotism in a flash. Learning French has opened up quite a bit of the world for me, so it’s definitely something I would benefit from and enjoy. Being able to play every instrument might get me the girls, but so can a cute accent. 😉

Would you rather forget everything that happened more than 24 hours ago but otherwise live your dream life, or have a normal memory but experience suffering often in your life? You’d retain all the memories you have up to this point, either way, but if you chose to have a short memory, you’d forget anything that happened from hereon.
