Pick Your Poison: 30 Impossible Dilemmas That Might Break Your Brain

Why on Earth would anyone choose the second option?

No rent = affording all the groceries I like

I'm retired, so.

It depends on the bad thing. If it is destroying all cancer or the whole world's military apparatus, destruction could be a good thing.

There are some moments I'd like to forget, but by-and-large.I'd rather remember my life.

Joke's on you, I have so different cravings, I ll be alright

“If you’re the smartest person in the room, then you’re in the wrong room.”

A scuba rental store in Maui once had the slogan, "Enter the ocean, enter the food chain". I'll stick with flying.

This feels like a Monkey Sphere scenario. I could save 100 random lives, but since the loved one is in my inner sphere I'd die of grief and guilt for not choosing them. Sorry 100 rando peeps. But the stark truth is I never knew you so Id get over you. Its just human psychology.

I've already lost my sense of purpose

I pick erase worst. Ive been plaugued by a semi unconcious trauma for decades and only bow found the right help to diffuse that bugger. Bad memories weigh about 2 to 3 times heavier in your emotional scales compared to good ones, so removing the worst will make the good more prominent. (its to do with primitive survival instincts) Depends on what your life is like of course.

As someone with PMDD who gets beyond depressed for 2 weeks every month, controlling my own emotions would do wonders

Immortal with good health though, right?

Rich in a poor county ! Cos then I could help people !

I would have given half my remaining years to add time to my wife’s short life

Death by one crunch or 1000 cuts? It's crunch time for me

Anyone who has been to Nordic countries will pick the latter. Winters with no daylight are so depressing.

Does full freedom involve money to do what i want?

Wet socks affects all of both feet. A rock only impairs a part of one and is easier to remedy.

Win/win scenario, unlimited energy and more free time

Both options would be horrible for either party. Don't want to choose. 😧

Either would be a nice change from being poor and hated.

I knew a woman who refused to enter supermarkets because of the security cameras, she thought the aliens were watching her. She actually ended up moving to a very small village in the countryside because cameras in the city streets made her refuse to go out of her house at all.

I'm already always tired, so, not much of a change here....

Hey, I could become president!

Money buys you time.

Either way, I'm going to feel guilty untjl the end of time

Apparently those who just about escaped from either described freezing to death as fairly pleasant, while the other one, not so much... If you must go, less pain is certainly a preference.

I spent too much money in therapy to achieve the ability to say no to people. It's precious to give up.

How is that actually different?
