Default Would Your Rather....?

Fun Game/Discussion-

For the following 10 questions, you must answer one or the other. So- if you'd rather not choose either option, you still have to pick one.

1) Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren?

2) Would you rather have more time or more money?

3) Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life?

4) Would you rather be able to talk with the animals or speak all foreign languages?

5) Would you rather be without internet for a week, or without your phone?

6) Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator?

7) Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel room or camping surrounded by beautiful scenery?

8) Would you rather be too hot or too cold?

9) Would you rather go without TV or beer/wine/alcohol the rest of your life? **If you don't drink, substitute the alcohol with junk food.

10) Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly through the air?

1) Past - no kids, so no great-great grandchildren to visit
2) Money - enough money gives me all the free time I could ever want
3) Pause - this was a tough one, but I think the pause would be better for the moments I need it
4) Foreign languages - who wants to talk to animals? Not me
5) Phone - I mostly use my phone for internet things anyway, so it would be near useless without the internet for a week
6) Elevator - I don't ski, and I don't like heights. At least I'm enclosed in an elevator
7) Luxury hotel - total no brainer
8) Cold - you can always dress for the cold
9) Alcohol - I don't drink much, pretty easy choice
10) Fly - I just wanna fly [/SugarRay]

1) Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren?

Great grandchildren... stock tips. Except I might not have any.

2) Would you rather have more time or more money?

Than now? Time.

3) Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life?

Rewind. Obviously. Then you could just re-do things until they work. Although it's a bit of a cheat code.

4) Would you rather be able to talk with the animals or speak all foreign languages?

Foreign languages.

5) Would you rather be without internet for a week, or without your phone?

Without the internet.

6) Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator?

Elevator. Ski lifts are cold.

7) Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel room or camping surrounded by beautiful scenery?

Camping. A hotel is a bed.

8) Would you rather be too hot or too cold?

Too hot usually doesn't result in death, but it depends on the extremes. Slightly too cold is better than slightly too hot.

9) Would you rather go without TV or beer/wine/alcohol the rest of your life? **If you don't drink, substitute the alcohol with junk food.

Alcohol. It'd probably be good for me.

10) Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly through the air?

Fly, this one should be easy. For one thing, breathing underwater doesn't solve the bends, and scuba pretty much allows this anyway.

My answers would be different than yours.. interesting.

Great grandchildren... stock tips. Except I might not have any. I think I'd want to go to the past but then I think about their disgusting plumbing and it grosses me out..lol.

2) Would you rather have more time or more money?

Than now? Time. I would pick money any day, and spend it like I only had today.

3) Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life?

Rewind. Obviously. Then you could just re-do things until they work. Although it's a bit of a cheat code. I'd rather have pause for the good times- or to get more sleep lol

4) Would you rather be able to talk with the animals or speak all foreign languages?

Foreign languages. I always wanted to know what my dog is thinking- plus it would be cool to find out what whales and seals are chatting about.

5) Would you rather be without internet for a week, or without your phone?

Without the internet. For me, phone. I need the internet to survive!

6) Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator?

Elevator. Ski lifts are cold. I am so claustrophobic, stuck on an elevator/buried alive are my worst nightmares.

7) Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel room or camping surrounded by beautiful scenery?

Camping. A hotel is a bed. I'd take the bed and the luxury any day.

8) Would you rather be too hot or too cold?

Too hot usually doesn't result in death, but it depends on the extremes. Slightly too cold is better than slightly too hot. I'd rather be too cold- you can add layers, but too hot is just uncomfortable

9) Would you rather go without TV or beer/wine/alcohol the rest of your life? **If you don't drink, substitute the alcohol with junk food.

Alcohol. It'd probably be good for me. alcohol..i think...

10) Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly through the air?

Fly, this one should be easy. For one thing, breathing underwater doesn't solve the bends, and scuba pretty much allows this anyway. I think breathing underwater would be cool- planes allow you to fly anyway

1. Not likely to have kids at this point in my life, so that eliminates the great-grandkids from the equation. I guess I pick the past by default.

2. Mo money.

3. Rewind button.

4. Foreign languages.

5. No phone. I hardly use it anyway.

6. Broken ski lift. At least I could see the outside and breathe fresh air. That story of the guy who got stuck in an elevator for a full weekend is one of the scariest things I've read.

7. Hotel. Camping doesn't interest me in the least.

8. Too hot. Can't stand being cold.

9. No booze. Probably should do that anyway.

10. Breathe underwater.

1) Ancestors; even if they're idiots, at least I'll know what I've overcome and I can still think I'll do better for my descendants. If my descendants are morons, I'll have no hope.

2) Time.

3) Pause. Now is great, but the future scares me. Although, if I could rewind I could change my career. ... ok changed my mind... be kind and rewind!

4) Languages. If I could talk to animals I might feel guilty eating them.

5) There's a difference between those two? Take my phone.

6) Elevator. Hypothermia sucks.

7) Camping.

8) Assuming we're talking "comfort" (as opposed to hypo/hyperthermia)...I'll take a sweaty day any time. Makes the beer taste better.

9) Without TV.

10) Fly...all day every day.

My interesting and detailed answers......

1) Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren?

My ancestors came for Scotland and Ireland. It would be an amazing experience to go back in time and live a few days in their life and learn how they survived and made money. In particular I would love to follow my grandfather as he went off to fight in WW1 and to experience what he had to endure in a German POW camp.

2) Would you rather have more time or more money?

Time is more important to me than money. I want to live forever

3) Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life?

A pause button that allows you to enjoy the moment for however long you want would be my choice.

4) Would you rather be able to talk with the animals or speak all foreign languages?

Animals and in particular dogs, would be my choice. They're very intelligent and I have wondered many times what they are thinking when they stare at you, paw you on the leg, or tilt their head.

5) Would you rather be without internet for a week, or without your phone?

I could go without my phone. For the most part it's a huge distraction when you have to deal with texts and email while you're out in public. Nothing is that important that couldn't be replied to until you got home.

6) Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator?

After watching M. Night Shyamalan's movie "Devil" the ski lift is a no brainer. Trapped in an elevator with some annoyng music in the background, lights going on and off, and of course the claustrophobic feeling of being in a small space with people you don't know.

7) Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel room or camping surrounded by beautiful scenery?

Camping beside a lake with a nice fire going and the sound of crickets in the background would be my choice. Looking up at the shooting stars while you sip on a cold beer.

8) Would you rather be too hot or too cold?

I'd rather be cold. I prefer my room to be very cold when i'm sleeping and I don't enjoy the extreme heat we sometimes get in the summer.

9) Would you rather go without TV or beer/wine/alcohol the rest of your life? **If you don't drink, substitute the alcohol with junk food.

Junk food is my choice as i'm not really an alcohol drinker. I'd go bonkers if I couldn't watch sports or my favourite TV shows.

10) Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly through the air?

The ability to breathe underwater would be so awesome. The oceans of the world remainly largely unexplored and it would be interesting to swim down deep and discover all the creatures we have yet to identify. Then there's all the sunken Gallieons and the treasures in the hulls (I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm rich!) .

1) Past - I would help those ignorant buggers out.
2) Time - More time could be more money if I wanted anyways.
3) Rewind - Could be a ticket to a dark spiral into always looking for a better present, but would also be a great ticket to easy wealth.
4) Animals - Much more fun
5) Both - I would happily go without either if I could.
6) Ski lift - I'm not fond of elevators
7) Camping - Easy choice. I couldn't give a damn about a luxury hotel.
8) Too hot? - They seem equally bad.
9) Without TV/online video - Wish it was easier to reduce them anyways.
10) Fly - Less things to get into trouble with flying.

Here are the scores so far:
Past - 9 Future - 2
Time - 6 Money - 5
Rewind - 7 Pause - 4
Talk to Anmals - 3 Speak all Languages - 8
No Net 1 - No Phone - 10
Chairlift - 5 Elevator - 6
Luxury Hotel - 4 Campground - 7
Too Hot - 7 Cold - 4
No TV Forever - 2 No Booze/Junkfood Forever - 9
Breathe Underwater - 2 Fly - 9

Now let's make it more interesting:

1. Would you rather be able to fly or speak all languages?

2. Would you rather be able to breathe underwater or travel to the future?

3. Would you rather be able to travel to the past, but only to times prior to your birth, or have a rewind button on your own life?

4. Would you rather be uncomfortably but not dangerously hot for the rest of your life or no TV/Netflix/Youtube/Gifs/Movies for the rest of your life?

5. Would you rather be annoyingly but not dangerously cold for the rest of your life, or never be allowed to use a mobile device of any kind?

6. Would you rather have no internet for the rest of your life or be required to eat exactly the same bland but nutritious meal, every meal, forever.

7. Would you rather have every Tuesday off for the rest of your life or have permanent, free access to a secret campsite, which is the most objectively and subjectively beautiful campsite in the world, but is a 12-hour-drive away.

8. $1,500 dollars a month, which adjusts for inflation over time, or permanent carte-blanche, VIP access and treatment to an outstanding five-star hotel which is two 8-hour flights away and always requires a 6+ hour layover (flights not included in carte-blanche access).

9. Have a pause button on life or be able to speak to all animals.

10. Know with 100% certainty that neither the Oilers, nor Canucks will ever win the Stanley Cup again - but neither will the Flames, or know that the three teams will combine for 5 cups in a decade and each team will win at least one, the other two assigned randomly.

(the chairlift/elevator one is just lame)

1) Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren? I can read history and learn from my parents and grandparents but would be cool to see what happened in the future.

2) Would you rather have more time or more money? Right now money on my deathbed I'd want more time lol.

3) Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life? Just to fix the mistakes I've made and undo the wrongs.

4) Would you rather be able to talk with the animals or speak all foreign languages? That would be amazing, I find people who speak more then 2 languages fascinating.

5) Would you rather be without internet for a week, or without your phone? Easy, I usually leave my phone on the side in my office and home.

6) Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator? How high is the ski lift? I might be able to jump down and go on with my life. Small confined place would be tough after few hours.

7) Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel room or camping surrounded by beautiful scenery? Not a camping guy but do like beautiful scenery but I would choose the comfy bed

8) Would you rather be too hot or too cold? Despite living in Calgary never been a fan of the cold. Much rather be too hot.

9) Would you rather go without TV or beer/wine/alcohol the rest of your life? **If you don't drink, substitute the alcohol with junk food. Easy

10) Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly through the air? After awhile living in under would not be fun, flying though you can go anywhere and enjoy a lot of things.
