Be constantly followed by 50 ducklings or have a beaver sitting on your shoulder?
Bob Brooce 2 days ago
As long as I'm not responsible for them, having ducklings follow me around doesn't seem like a real problem. Unless they can open doors. Even then, it seems better than having a beaver on my shoulder all the time.

Hug a panda or a koala?
Phantom Phoenix 1 day ago
Not everyone likes hugs; seems reasonable to expect that what's true of the wider population would apply to Pandas. So, caveats: 1) I get a choice of which Pandas I'd offer my hug to. 2) The Panda chooses to participate in the hug. And now a quick Panda survey: which of you likes hugs?
SheHulk 2 days ago
The best choice is neither. Why would you want to hug them. They really don't want random people giving them hugs. How would you like people coming up to you wanting a hug because ur so q8!

Have your future determined by your parents or by a random stranger?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 days ago
Joke's on you, my parents already determined my future the second they adopted me :( Same for my ex, actually - he is the firstborn son of Chinese immigrants, so his future was always going to be "doctor or lawyer". I'd honestly take my chances on a random stranger being kinder/better/more considerate to have decided my future than my parents were.

I'm a weirdo here in that I quite like chocolate, but I very rarely want to actually *eat* it. I have chocolate in my house bouncing around from several years ago (should probably look into getting rid of it, now that I think of it). Chocolate broccoli on the other hand just sounds foul.

Have back pain all day or a bad toothache all day?
Tisme 1 day ago
Depends on the reason for back pain, sciatic can be really bad with nothing that can be done for it, where as I can just have a tooth out and pain is gone.
Load More Replies... 
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 days ago
I've had migraines that "translated" into what felt like agonizing tooth pain/toothaches. It was worse than any back pain/strain I've ever had. But it does also depend on the TYPE of back pain - years before my dad's accident (before his brain injury) he had a herniated disc in his back, and had to undergo multiple surgeries. He ended up having several vertebrae fused together. I obviously didn't experience the pain myself, but from what I observed and what he said, the pain from the herniated disc was HORRIFIC. He was on morphíne patches at one point because nothing else would help the pain. So I guess it depends on the type of back pain :(

Be forced to speak in public or swim in deep, dark water?
Bob Brooce 2 days ago
Asking the important question. I could speak in public for longer than I could swim without getting tired and risk drowning, but I've gone diving in water that's 6,000 feet deep. It wasn't dark (I have been swimming and diving at night, but the water probably wasn't more than a few hundred feet deep right under me), but that's only a problem if there are snapping turtles and I'm swimming with my lure out.

Have a magic freezer that always has all your favorite ice cream or a different ice cream flavor every time you open the door?
Lukas (he/him, it/its) 1 day ago
I mean, favorites change, so does the ice cream flavor change when your taste does? And if you choose the other, you could just open and close the freezer over and over again until you get something you like.
Emilu 21 hours ago
That was my logic as well 😂 I'm happy sitting there opening and shutting a freezer door for a while. It sounds less tedious than, say, restarting Pokémon constantly to get a shiny.

Lose your keys or your wallet?
Bob Brooce 2 days ago
Getting new keys is easy. Credit cards aren't hard to replace, but a drivers license and car registration are a bit of a pain. My lifetime US national parks pass would cost $80 to replace. At the moment I've also got just over $200 cash in my wallet. And it's unlikely to matter, but I've also got a lottery ticket that might turn out to be worth about $25 or $30 million for me and $400 million for my charitable foundation.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 days ago
This is the first one that actually gives me serious pause/I don't have an immediate snap-to choice I pick. I know it's probably "safer" to lose my keys since they don't have anything that would identify my house, so it's not like someone could FIND my house and unlock it if they found my keys, and I could change the locks if I knew I lost my keys, but I have a long-standing, deep-seated fear/compulsion to always keep my keys on me at all times, because of my family. I do NOT want them to have keys to my car or my house.

Be able to teleport but only to places you’ve never been, or fly but only at walking speed?
Bob Brooce 2 days ago
Isn't this one a no-brainer? Teleporting to places I've never been would make it easy to get to the thousands of places I'd like to see, though getting my stuff there might be a separate issue. OTOH, walking speed is plenty fast enough for recreational flying. I'd kill to be able to fly at walking speed. Besides, I'd need a way to get back home from the closest place I could teleport on my way back from far off places.
JL 2 days ago (edited)
I guess it depends on what defines "place I've never been". How wide a range is it? I've never been in my one neighbor's yard, so can I teleport back home by landing there, or is it considered too close to somewhere I've been? If the range is large, eventually you will have been everywhere you wanted to go and the power would be useless. The flying lets me avoid crowds and stairs, plus if I fell off of a ledge or bridge I wouldn't die.

Drink every meal as a smoothie or never be able to eat food that has been cooked?
Beady El 2 days ago
But smoothies aren’t cooked. The smoothie option is a subset of the uncooked option.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 days ago
For a year or two after my dad's accident, my mom tried to feed him food "normally" (as in, via mouth instead of having a feeding tube put in.) He had sustained massive atrophy of his muscles after being in a coma for 6 months after the accident, so he couldn't swallow solid food. So my mom would make normal meals and then use her super-strong Vitamix blender to turn the meals into liquid glop/sludge. Imagine a hamburger being turned into hamburger sludge in a blender. And guess who got to taste-test everything? Yep, me. I cannot express in words how revolting sludge-food is when you KNOW what it was - as in, slurping down some gloppy thick liquid and knowing it's supposed to be a solid, normal-textured hamburger. It causes both physical and mental suffering. I'm not being facetious. It was awful. I'm opting for no cooked food XD (My dad had a feeding tube installed ricky-tick after he got aspiration pneumonia a few times from my mother's liquefying "experiments".)
Janissary35680 2 days ago
Since *I* was the one who had to eat the stuff, I made it myself and made dạmn sure it tasted good. Since I'm a born-lazy sort, I kind of actually missed my gourmet smoothies after the wires came off.

For me, guitar because a) I did a few grades of piano exams and ended up hating it (part of that could have been my teacher, though; I stopped going there after we had a rather explosive fight), and b) more importantly nowadays, most of my preferred music leans toward guitar than piano. There are some songs I'd love to hear in accoustic.

Control the outcome of any coin flip or be unbeatable at rock, paper, scissors?
Emilu 20 hours ago
Useless information -- in the video game Final Fantasy 6 (originally known as FF3 in the US on the Super Nintendo) one of the characters ensures that his brother doesn't have to take up the position of king by a controlled coin flip (specifically, a double-headed coin). The brother is a free spirit and wouldn't have coped being stuck in the castle; the coin-user didn't really want to either but knew that someone had to and so "left it up to chance" with the coin. Me? I'd use it for less noble things ("heads, you win $100, tails, I win $100. You in?")

Eat only dog food or do all your business in a litter box?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 days ago
Okay, but have you seen/smelled some of the modern fancy dog foods, especially the "fresh-cooked" ones like Farmer's Dog and Just Food For Dogs?! XD They're super expensive (I can't afford them, lol) but they're made with human-grade ingredients and actually smell really delicious. Both my dogs eat a high-quality kibble from a good brand, and even the kibble smells pretty decent. I admit (hey, I was curious...) that I tried a half of a kibble once. It didn't taste *gross*, just bland-ish. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, if I could CHOOSE the brand of dog food I got to eat, I'm all in on that option XD
