We make choices every day. What to have for breakfast, what to do after work, when to go to bed… But why don’t we get overwhelmed? Maybe it’s because we know we can always go back to something else. We can decide to do something different than usual. But what if we couldn’t? What if our decisions were final and erased the other options forever?

In this poll, you’ll get a taste of what it might feel like. There are 30 categories with four choices each, but you can only keep one and must give up the rest. Will it make you rethink how you determine the value of things, or will it be just another day in your life? Let’s see!

When you’re done with this one, check out part 1 of this poll by clicking here.

    As my granddad used to say: "you can achieve a lot of money, possessions and luxury... and then lose everything. But he who is loyal, honest and kind-hearted will remain like that through any hardships."

    Exactly. With the right partner you can cope with the lack of a car, job, or even house

    None of these are truly valuable, enduring memories. How about the best day you spent with a beloved relative or friend? The moment when you realized you'd finally caught on to learning how to do a task/job? Seeing your child/grandchild for the first time, holding your newly adopted puppy or kitten and feeling their soft fur for the first time? The best moments in one's life aren't always curated or planned such as parties or graduations.

    Why are three of the dips Hispanic in origin and the fourth one is pseudo-Hispanic? Are we just going to pretend that NO other culture has great dips? XD

    I live in a car-dependent city/state/area. Our public transpo is sh!te. And because everyone drives cars, it's actually rather dangerous to be a bicyclist. I don't even know which I'd choose XD

    Sight. I fully agree with how devastating it would be to no longer enjoy music, but imagine the world as a dark scary place where you see nothing and every little sound becomes an alarm signal for something you could do nothing about.

    Those who picked kindness: be careful. People don't respect or appreciate kindness. Rather, they take your kindness for granted, they use you and feel entitled to take advantage of you. Kindness without firm boundaries is seen as a weakness.
