You’ll go through 31 tricky dilemmas. In each of them, you’ll have to choose between two options. They might be weird, frustrating, or just impossible. But there’s no in-between in this poll—you have to pick a side, no matter how unfair or ridiculous the choice may be.

Would You Rather Have A Job You Love With A Low Salary Or A Job You Hate With A High Salary?
Beak Hookage 8 months ago
I don't need much to be happy. As long as I can buy food, pay the bills and afford the odd trip to the movies and a few simple holidays, I'm good.

Would You Rather Know The Date Of Your Death Or The Cause Of Your Death?
Boredest Panda 8 months ago
If you were to know the cause of your death, you’ll constantly be scared of that thing (if it’s not of old age), but if you knew the date, you’ll constantly wouldn’t worry until the date.
#8
Would You Rather Hear A Comforting Lie Or An Uncomfortable Truth?
Little Bit 8 months ago
I would rather hear an uncomfortable truth. I hate it when people can't give me an honest answer to a straightforward question. All I ask is that people be straight with me.
#9
Would You Rather Be Able To Forgive But Never Forget Or Forget But Never Forgive?
Cammy Mack 8 months ago
The second choice doesn't make much sense. You would forget whatever event would require forgiveness, but you would still not forgive what you can't remember?
#10
Would You Rather Be Known For Your Intelligence Or For Your Empathy?
Beak Hookage 8 months ago
A lot of people think I'm kind of a doofus, but a lot of people also think I'm a really nice person so I don't mind.
Auntriarch 8 months ago
I can't say I've noticed you scoring very high on the Doofus Scale, but you do seem like a very decent person.

I'm already constantly told I have no empathy, and I'm comfortable with that, so I'd go with intelligence.
Crystalwitch60 8 months ago (edited)
Empathy I’m a white witch it goes with the territory, I might be housebound in the sticks n not a fan of people bar my kids I prefer animals ! I am empathetic!! very it’s a curse lol oh n intelligent people never have any logic or common sense so in the real world they are thick as lol empathetic people have logic have common sense n that is far more useful than being intellectual!
Blah Blah Blah 8 months ago
Interesting because it's been studied and people with higher intelligence tend to have higher empathy.
StrangeOne 8 months ago
I don't believe that for a second. That would mean people with Intellectual Disabilities have very low empathy when that is so far from reality.

You are completely incorrect. Human beings are not "born" with empathy or a moral compass. They are taught that by their guardians/caregivers. This can be seen in the behaviors of toddlers/young children - they are completely amoral and asocial and can act in a manner that we would consider "psychotic", because they have not yet LEARNED what behaviors are unacceptable. A toddler will hit, punch, and kick another child, its parents, its siblings, or an animal, with zero care for whether or not they're hurting the other, because they don't REALIZE they're causing pain unless they are taught/told. Humans are NOT "born with empathy". Humans are TAUGHT empathy.

Would You Rather Have To Eat A Whole Onion Every Day Or Drink A Bottle Of Hot Sauce Every Day?
Beak Hookage 8 months ago
Why not prepare the onion by frying it up and mixing it with the hot sauce? And you can make it part of a dish while you're at it!
#13
Would You Rather Have A Constant Itch You Can’t Scratch Or Always Feel Like You Have To Sneeze?
LillieMean 8 months ago
I couldn't answer, I'm currently itching and sneezing due to seasonal allergies. Sneezing doesn't help and no amount of scratching relieves the itching. Right now, it feels tempting to have your head in a glass jar like in Futurama.

Would You Rather Not Feel Any Emotions At All Or Feel Constant Hate For The Rest Of Your Life?

Hate eats your soul. Feeling nothing would be the least awful of the two.

The same song on repeat, irregardless of whether or not it is sad, is t*****e. Silence for me please.

Would You Rather Be Able To Retire Early With Less Savings Or Work Longer But With A Larger Retirement Fund?
Little Bit 8 months ago
I'm under no illusion that I will ever be able to afford to retire anyway.
#21
Would You Rather Be In Jail For 5 Years Or Be In A Coma For A Decade?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 8 months ago
My dad was in a coma for 6 months. He suffered so much muscle atrophy in just six MONTHS that no amount of physical therapy or occupational therapy was able to surmount it and get back what he lost. He had so much atrophy in his throat/swallowing muscles that he was unable to eat/drink safely via mouth and eventually had to have a feeding tube put in. Being in a coma for a decade - even with the passive "therapy" that nurses may do, your muscles will atrophy and your ligaments will tighten, potentially to the point of no return.

What do you think ?
Kazistuta 8 months ago
Even though the choices are mostly pointless, I think it was a fun way to stretch your mind a bit. Don't just answer, but really think about your argument for choosing one or the other. I only found a couple I was really in doubt about.

I'm sure thinking so hard this early in the morning isn't good for me.
Magenta Blu 8 months ago
I almost got every answer different from the majority... I always wondered what's wrong with me.. maybe THIS is it. I don't understand how people think or chose.
XenoMurph 8 months ago
Yes, your comments were very... negative. I hope you are young and can find some joy in life. The world is beautiful, and people are often very kind, and loving. I hope one day you can find that out for yourself.
