Have a best friend who’s brutally honest or one who always tells you what you want to hear?
What is brutally honest? Because for example, if I am dating a red flag, I would rather have an honest friend than a friend who tell me what I want to hear.
Brutally honest may mean s/he's not your friend actually. I had such an experience with my former friend. Supported her during difficult times, made time for her when she needed, was with her when she had medical problems. Then it was my turn to be hospitalized for a major surgery, and asked for her help. She agreed initially, but then told me: "Actually, I'd like to go on a mountain trip that day." I appreciated the honesty.
I don't judge a friend for always telling the truth. But I will certainly evaluate them for what they consider to be the truth.
One of my friends describes me as a great mirror, but not your comfy bathroom mirror. Evidently, I'm more like a harshly lit department store mirror.
Brutally honest lol cos I’m like that ,but I’d far rather not have friends anyway lol they hard work 😂
Save one endangered species from extinction or have the ability to talk to animals?
I can talk to animals right now. it's just that they don't talk back. Except my cat who repeats, "Feed me," or "Put it in writing, I'll get back to you."
If I can talk to animals, I can find out how to alleviate the suffering of multiple species instead of just one.
"Never have pets at the table. They so rarely add anything to the conversation.: - Fran Lebowitz
I don't want to hear them... they will probably complain and rightfully so
I think being able to talk to them would be more effective overall because we could tell them about how to protect themselves and also explain some of the big issues like climate change etc. Maybe they'd survive better if they had a better understanding of what is going on.
Gotta be talking to animals , I already talk to my dogs , but I love em to be able to talk back
Do you guys know how many species go extinct every day? Saving one would do absolutely nothing.
I mean, I come from a small island. Saving an endemic species here would make a difference.
Load More Replies...Not having a choice or not knowing what to choose?
I have ADHD. Sometimes I go to bed hungry after over an hour of staring at my shelves and in the fridge, unable to make a choice, and eventually decided "stuff it, I'm too tired now". 😢 It's also why I eat a lot of linguine - I have an automatic glorified rice cooker machine that I set on the "boiling" programme, throw in the pasta, come back later when it beeps at me (sometimes, sometimes I get distracted on the six metre journey between living room and machine 🤦🏻♀️). It's much easier to deal with stuff like that when there's very little effort or concentration involved. But, on the other hand, if it's something that my mind enjoys, I can focus on that to the point of fading out everything else for hours on end, only breaking that with the inevitable "ohmygodIgottapeerightfuckingnow". 😪 It's fatiguing as I what and where my mind applies itself is highly random. Like, I'm reading this because I've been looking at the code I'm trying to write for the ESP32 and...I just can't today.
Tell your younger self one thing or ask your future self one question?
"It gets better, younger self. High school is not the be-all, end all." I wish I could tell a lot of teenagers that, actually.
From my perspective, it's a no brainer. My 'future self' will only extend maybe one-tenth the time my younger self has been around.
I would have not looked at it like that. Super makes sense!
Load More Replies...The thing I would tell my younger self is "At some point you will be given a choice to ask your younger self one question or to ask your older self one question. Choose "Ask older self." Then sit back and watch the Space-Time Continuum rip itself to shreds.
I would have told my younger self "buy bitcoin at $10, Apple at $27, and Amazon after the IPO."
Why not bit at "less than $0.01" may 2010. wikipedia
Load More Replies...Isn't this the same? I mean as a young me I wanted future me to tell me things...
Participate in a dating show or a survival show?
In a survivial show, you can keep your dignity
Load More Replies...I wouldn't have to work at it. That's my superpower.
Load More Replies...Spend the rest of your life stuck indoors or outdoors?
I only go out to the store or for important reasons like an appointment at the bank. That's why I really didn't understand people who were freaking out about lockdown: if I were rich enough to have an assistant to do my grocery shopping and stuff, I would probably never leave my home.
Lockdown was ace wasn’t it lol ,it’s ligit my life 24/7 I don’t even go to a shop or a bank ,everything’s done online I’m miles from anywhere ,in the sticks ,ll why on earth do I need to go out 🤷♀️
Load More Replies...One of my life's goals is to never go outside involuntarily again, so
Indoors , oh hold on , does that mean I can’t go out in my garden 🤔cos I’m a keen gardener , hmm already housebound lol but long as I can go in the garden
I rather suspect your garden is outside. But perhaps that can be rectified with a sufficiently enthusiastic greenhouse.
Load More Replies...Donate your body to science or donate your organs to people who need them?
There was a recent scandal in France when bodies that were donated to science were discovered having been left to rot for years. One guy explained it was hard enough to accept not having a real funeral, but he knew it was his mother's wish to help science, so it was really traumatizing to find out her body had just been dumped in a corner. (Some bodies also ended up as car crash dummies instead of being used for medical purposes, but I guess it's a bit more acceptable.)
Organs quite often are left too long to use due to different factors (staffing issues, bed space etc). A friend of mine has missed 3 sets of lungs the he was supposed to have transplanted and the surgeon wasn't available, so they were disposed of.
Load More Replies...Donate to science, for the basic reason that I grew up in Britain in the 80s. I can't donate blood, and my insides won't be wanted either, just because there might be a ticking time bomb inside me (the mighty broken prion). That being said, given what often happens to science donations (see Rika's comment, I live in France...), just dig a hole, toss me in, call it done. You don't even need a fancy box. Or any box. Just rent a mini digger and find a peaceful spot in a forest, I'll cost you a few hundred euros tops. I have no relatives, and a surreptitious burial means, at least, my cold dead ears won't have to listen to Ave Maria and a bunch of people who don't know me trying to find something, anything, to say because that's the done thing, especially since it's highly unlikely that the service would actually play 500 Miles (the Proclaimers) and anything by Alestorm... 😂
At my age, anybody who gets any of my organs would be getting the short end of the bargain.
I think some of them would welcome even a couple of years more than what they have.
Load More Replies...The technicalities of donating to people are difficult. The organ may not be viable; there may not be enough time to get it to people that need it... etc. I would prefer my organs went to help someone live/improve their quality of life, but if not, knowledge is still a worthwhile pursuit. I'd be open to either. Just don't leave me rotting in a corner, because I will haunt you. (In the most evil of ways, such as stealing your blankets when it's freezing in the early hours of the morning. Watch out. 😂)
I'm diabetic, so mine has to go to science. Even if it's just a body farm. Unless I win the lottery and have it composted.
I don't think most people realize that this question is about how you want to d1e. Science can use your body regardless of how old you are or how you d1ed. You can only donate your organs if you're pronounced brain de4d and you're young enough.
I think you're reading too much into the question. True, not all people will be able to donate their organs, but it's also true that not all bodies are suitable for body donation.
Load More Replies...Be unattractive and have an attractive partner or be attractive and have an unattractive partner?
If there was a "neither" option I'd have gone for that, personally. I'm not 10/10 looks; nor are a lot of people. Personality's more important to me, so if they make me laugh, I *actively* want to spend time with them, etc... that's more important than them being stereotypically attractive.
I'm not particularly attractive, and my partner probably isn't in the traditional sense. We love each other, so physical looks aren't important to us. The question is both meaningless and shallow.
Or the default choice for someone like me, be unattractive and have no partner! :(
That happens a lot with conservatives. That's why so many of them are incels.
Load More Replies..."Me unattractive, partner incredibly hot" has been my default setting for 8.5 years 🤣 (tbf she strenuously disagrees that i am less gorgeous)
I'm unattractive and my ex-husband was very attractive. According to him I was "lucky to have him."
Not be able to sit or not be able to stand?
I've got a hernia and haven't been able to sit down for three months. It's been mostly ok. Even lost weight. But I do miss restaurants or watching a movie comfortably. I would absolutely take this over never being able to stand.
Have developed sciatica in my hip over the past few months, so sitting has definitely become the more painful option. (Gotta love getting old.)
They told me bariatric would help with the inability to stand. A year and 175# later I have determined that is a lie. Arthritis sucks.
See ghosts everywhere or be haunted by a single, relentless spirit?
Is that one spirit good or bad ? I imagine it would be similar to constantly hearing a voice in your head: if it says good things, it's not a big deal.
'Relentless' has a pretty negative connotation.
Load More Replies...I don't need to *see* ghosts to know they're there, my cat actively hunts them.
I already see ghosts lol 🤷♀️got 4 in this house three nice one we keep at bay
Take this however you want but can I spend a weekend at your house? 🙂👻
Load More Replies...Not know how to count or not know how to read?
Surprising result. It's you can't read, you can still listen to audiobooks, listen to or watch the news, and learn from online classes. Without the ability to count, how do you make a recipe, know how much things cost, or keep appointments?
Cover for a friend’s crime or turn them in?
Stupid question. A friend who stole food to feed their child would be quite different from a friend who unalived someone.
Yep. Can't answer this; it depends what the crime was.
Load More Replies...If it was an unpardonable crime, they are no longer my friend, so ...
Depends on the crime, really. But I would definitely NOT cover up a crime against a person...
Turn em in 100% even if it was one of my kids , u f up you take the punishment end off
Have a roommate who’s always loud or one who never cleans?
I can clean up mess. The only way to deal with a loud roommate would land me in prison for life probably.
If the roommate is loud I can use earplug, but if someone is messy around me, that drives me crazy
Achieve your biggest career goal but lose all your current friends, or keep your friends but never reach that goal?
If they're real friends, why would I lose them for achieving my goal ? They should be happy for me.
Maybe you have to do something for the job that makes you loose the friends.
Load More Replies...Lose the friends ,cos I don’t do people lol so don’t have any bar my kids 😂🤷♀️
Live without any entertainment (movies, games, books) or without social interactions?
Let's just say that lockdown was when everybody else was forced to live their lives in the way that I do by choice; and I would be quite upset if I never got to hear Nightwish, Eye of Melian, or see the conclusion of Wednesday. So, obvious choice is obvious.
My only social interactions are at work. They've increased since I stopped driving truck.
The other day, I chatted with an introverted girl for hours. I realized that introverts aren't always introverted; they just find it hard to finding someone to chat with.
Never be able to use your dominant hand or only be able to walk backwards?
Your non dominant hand would then become dominant so how would that work?
Travel to the past and risk altering history, or visit the future and know your fate?
I already know my fate. I'm going to die alone, they won't find my body for weeks, if not months. The only reason my pets won't eat me is because I don't have any.
Go five years into the future. Collect race results from tracks around north America. Return. Profit. Repeat if possible (or increase time traveled).
Knowing my fate lol ,changing history can have catastrophic consequences,
Have absolute freedom with no security or complete security with no freedom?
There's no such thing as absolute freedom *or* total security. We only have a sliding scale of compromises that make people think they are free and/or secure.
You can't have freedom with no security: you can't be free to do whatever you want if you have to worry about your safety all the time.
True. But you also cannot enjoy your safety at all if you do not have any freedom.
Load More Replies...Have considered moving to that no-laws desert art commune more than once, and not just because my joints would be happier there.
Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither and will get neither.
Have the power to stop time but age twice as fast, or never age but be stuck in a single moment forever?
Rather depends upon the moment, doesn't it? If you're stuck reliving that car crash, school shooting, whatever... you'll rapidly regret the whole never aging thing. But if it's a moment when you were truly happy, that can be doable.
Be emotionless or feel too much?
After years of abuse and domestic violence, I already "feel too much". Being an empath is a curse.
I'm so sorry. I hope the abuse and DV are in the rear-view.
Load More Replies...The medication took away my ability to feel emotions and I wanted to change it back to the old one that didn't work so well. I'd rather feel deeply and excessively than be like an empty shell.
I already suffer with both as is. Feeling too much is too overwhelming for me
Me too. Sometimes I'd like to feel less when things are wrong (too often), but I mostly enjoy feeling life 100%. It's great that little things can make me smile and enjoying some things so much even having had a bad time a moment ago.
Load More Replies...I already feel too much, so this is kinda already decided for me
I'm an HSP and absolutely hate getting emotionally overwhelmed over the silliest things buf i have no control of. It's exhausting and embarrassing. I actually envy people who don’t get emotional.
I'm so sorry to ask this, but can I please ask what you mean by the acronym 'HSP'? Where I'm from it refers to incredibly unhealthy but delicious food, and I am assuming that that isn't what you mean.
Load More Replies...Have access to classified government documents or the ability to influence global stock markets?
Why? I think we know the orange shîtstain is all over them.
Load More Replies...Influence the markets. I rather suspect accessing top secret stuff would not only put you on a hit list, but would seriously mess with your sanity. I notice comments about the Epstein files. That's small fry compared to what you could find out when considering a government that has quite a history of using its own citizens as unwilling test subjects for various experiments (including the effects of diluted chemical weapons, radiation, and psychoactive substances).
All traffic lights you approach would be green or never have to queue again?
I'm British never having to queue again sounds like t*****e. I would have an existential crisis without queuing
There are times when j don't mind queuing. I can zone out and have a nice little daydream.
Be someone who laughs all the time or someone who makes others laugh all the time?
I like making other people laugh. Making people's day better gives me satisfaction. Plus, I wouldn't wanna laugh at inappropriate times 😬
Clean your toilet with a toothbrush or cut your grass with scissors?
D**n, I should've picked cut your grass with scissors. It doesn't say how much to cut. One snip, done. Cleaning something takes time
It also doesn't say it has to be the toothbrush you use for your mouth...
Load More Replies...Do I have to use the toothbrush afterwards? If not, then the toilet thing.
Mom made me cut grass with scissors once as a punishment. I therefore cut it __--__--__--__. 😂
Bungee-jump from a bridge or parachute from a plane?
Parachute, because my back isn't great and I can't imagine anything less helpful than freefalling with a rope tied to my ankles...
Not sure my knees would hold up for either, so if I can only do one, skydiving is it.
Load More Replies...Parachuting - because I hate going back over my mistakes again and again.
Never be bitten by another mosquito or find all your missing socks?
I only wear black socks and I buy several pairs at a time, I don't even notice if one goes missing.
How tf did some of you never been bitten by a mosquito. May I move to where you live.
To be honest, we don't have mosquitos here and I can't ever recall losing a sock!
This was a no-brainer lol find a few socks and save money not having to buy more, or no risk of a myriad of diseases? Um, yeah, mosquitoes suck more (no pun intended) than a few missing socks 😖
Never being bitten by mosquitoes. I live in the tropics, and don't wear socks!
Given the rise of chikungunya (in France FFS!), I would happily support banishing mosquitos from the face of the earth. You know, I'm really struggling to think of any positive point whatsoever for those little bitey b@stards.
That mermaids exist or that unicorns exist?
You haven’t read old timey unicorn stories. They used to hunt and k**l false virgins.
Load More Replies...Drink Coke without bubbles or eat stale chips?
I was on a migraine preventative medication in my 20s (Topamax) that had the weirdest side-effect of making me unable to "taste"/"feel" carbonation. I could pop open a brand-new Coke and drink it and it would taste completely flat to me. I knew it was just me, as my boyfriend would drink it and confirm it was fizzy. It was absolutely AWFUL to drink liquids your brain knew were supposed to be carbonated, but you couldn't taste/feel the carbonation XD It made carbonated drinks taste so gross to me. The medication also made the tips of my fingers feel swollen, so I stopped taking it. XD
Load More Replies...Finally the purpose of this quiz - it's a subliminal ad for Coke. Gotcha!
I can't do either anymore in any decent quantity, but back in the day I never had a problem with flat cola.
Pass... Although if I have to choose, I'd go for fizzless Coke with ice.
Coke without bubbles. Sometimes I sip it after I've been ill, after the inevitably messy parade of shake, release, shake, release to get rid of as many bubbles as possible.
Have feathers in your armpits or fingernails instead of teeth?
🤷🏻♀️ What were you smoking/drinking to come up with such a question?
Lol who thought up something like this? 😂 maybe the same guy who came up with the vertical mouth or horizontal butt crack question in that one youtube video
Always agree with everyone but secretly disagree or openly disagree with everyone but secretly agree?
Always agree but secretly disagree - isn't that just "how to handle management"?
These were easier to choose from than one I remember hearing once that stuck with me. Would you rather lick the paint off a clown's face or lick the bottom shelf of a fridge clean? Ugh....😖
Too bad there wasn't also a profile generated based on the answers you chose.
Yes, some of these would vary wildly by age, I suspect.
Load More Replies...Hypothetical situations can be highly illogical, but that's part of the quiz's charm ;)
