    WYR never be able to celebrate any holiday again, or be forced to celebrate all the holidays properly, including the ones that your traditions or upbringing are opposed to?

    Never able to celebrate any holiday.

    WYR be able to painfully smash your head into any book to absorb it's contents, or only be able to learn any language by insulting someone who speaks it?

    Would You Rather know and be able to locate where lost money on the street is, at all times, or always know if someone is currently single and looking?

    No no no no. Security is in the former, ability is in the latter. The latter would preclude the former if one wasn't able to rest, yo.


    I got that beat. I don't observe any cultural occasions.



    Resource-based economy would utterly obviate the former. Perhaps the latter, too.

    Would you rather go back to your babyhood, knowing how your life will go up until this moment, or be able to go into other people's bodies and fix their lives?

    Intent and means are different things.

    Don't think you quite get the rules of this game. Choose one of @LollyTheFairy's options, then post your own conundrum.

    I changed the rules of the test game. I'm scientifically motivated.

    And for the last time. Here. Aaa-di-oos........

    Would You Rather take $10,000 no strings attached or $1,000,000 to be an indentured servant for a year?

    The million for being an indentured servant; I was in the Corps.

    Would you rather have to shave your whole head and body every day (you can keep your eyelashes, but nothing else) or never be allowed to trim so much as a single hair so long as you lived?

    I'd rather never be allowed to trim. I like my hair. Plus, I'm lazy.

    In light of the season...would you rather have to wear bells all the time so that everyone always knew where you were, or be permanently invisible?

    I'd rather wear bells because I'm constantly failing to be the center of attention anyway.

    Would you rather have super cold lemonade when it's freezing outside or have hot tea when the heat is suffocating you?

    Opposite political views. You rarely learn anything from those who agree with you.

    Would you rather be able to run super fast, or fly, but only at normal human running speed.

    Would you rather know everything there is to know about the universe or be ignorantly and blissfully happy for your entire life?

    Most definitely I'd like to know all the secrets of the universe.

    I've never had a lust to be happy, or found comfort in being comfortable.

    At this point, probably know everything. I already look down on many and it would give me a good reason to do it more.

    Would you rather have one Would You Rather thread, or two Would You Rather threads?

    Fly!

    Would you rather stop aging at 30 and live for another 50-60 years or age as normal but replace your aging body parts with technology, which could allow you to live longer than 100?

    basically...youthful glow or elderly cyborg

    Really? I would go for the happiness 100%. I don't think I could handle all the dark secrets of the world anyway with politics. Though, the universe, space, life questions I would like... @antlad @Iain Sparrow

    It reminds me of that Futurama episode "So all religions are wrong..."

    Basically questioning what more people regard more important... knowledge or happiness...

    @Lea`Brooks Didn't know there was one.

    If I knew all the secrets to the universe I reckon I'd be technically savvy enough to put a switch/gizmo behind my ear that'd allow me to forget them at will—bliss out for a few days at a time. I'd leave enough info inside (head) though for me to make a living as a salesman—selling said gizmo to other 'troubled geniusi geniuses'. Make a killing, kill alcohol sales too.

    e.t.a. sorry for fuzzy (logic) answer to the would you rather
