We make choices every day. Some of them are easy, some not so much. Now, what would you do if every decision was so difficult that no option felt like the obvious pick? That’s exactly what this “Would You Rather” poll is about.

You’ll go through 31 tricky dilemmas. In each of them, you’ll have to choose between two options. They might be weird, frustrating, or just impossible. But there’s no in-between in this poll—you have to pick a side, no matter how unfair or ridiculous the choice may be.

So, ready to make some tough calls? Let’s get started! 🎲

I don't need much to be happy. As long as I can buy food, pay the bills and afford the odd trip to the movies and a few simple holidays, I'm good.

    If you were to know the cause of your death, you’ll constantly be scared of that thing (if it’s not of old age), but if you knew the date, you’ll constantly wouldn’t worry until the date.

    My dad was in a coma for 6 months. He suffered so much muscle atrophy in just six MONTHS that no amount of physical therapy or occupational therapy was able to surmount it and get back what he lost. He had so much atrophy in his throat/swallowing muscles that he was unable to eat/drink safely via mouth and eventually had to have a feeding tube put in. Being in a coma for a decade - even with the passive "therapy" that nurses may do, your muscles will atrophy and your ligaments will tighten, potentially to the point of no return.
