Would you rather?

[Jubal]

Crisps. One of the two truly valid forms of potato.


Would you rather live after a nuclear apocalypse, or before settled civilisation was invented in the first place?

[The Seamstress]

Before settled civilisation, I think. It wouldn't be easy, but at least nothing would be contaminated or polluted. I wish I could see a world without pollution of any kind.


Would you rather be The Chosen One or The Chosen One's sidekick?

[Jubal]

Sidekick, I am not up for the workload of being a Chosen One right now.

Would you rather play a hurdy gurdy or a theremin?

[The Seamstress]

Theremin would be cool.

Would you rather be hugged by a giant bunny or a giant chicken?

[Jubal]

Bunny, I think they'd be cuddlier than chickens.

Would you rather get 1000 euros to spend on a very fancy new desk or a very fancy new chair?

[The Seamstress]

I think the chair, because all the chairs I currently have make my back hurt after a while.

Would you rather be addicted to chickpeas or to beans?

[Jubal]

Beans I think, unless I'm allowed my chickpea addiction entirely in the form of hummus in which case fine I can eat hummus every day forever.

Would you rather occasionally turn blue for an hour for no reason, or occasionally have a little imp appear and sing a 1 minute song about your day? On average either of these things will happen a couple of times a week, but not reliably, and sometimes much more than that, and you have no way of knowing what hour of day or night they'll occur.

[The Seamstress]

I think I'd rather turn blue, the imp would probably annoy me more.

Would you rather be magically transformed (permanently) into an intelligent rosemary shrub, or into a clueless tomato plant?

[Jubal]

Intelligent rosemary, I think? Though it might depend how much control I had over anything. If I was just stuck as a sort of trapped human intelligence in a plant horror style, the tomato so I wouldn't know, but if I had some capacity to express my intelligence, the rosemary.


Would you rather be known for justice and fairness, or kindness and generosity?

[The Seamstress]

Justice and fairness, I guess.


Would you rather live a minimalist life in some remote & quiet place, or go for the maximum and try literally everything the world has to offer?

[Jubal]

Sort of both, but ultimately I think I kind of have to do the latter: I do want to see the world, even if I like having a quiet space to go back to, and my curiosity is one of the things that drives me.

Would you rather go to the temple of Borflax the Inexorable, or the temple of The Least God?

[The Seamstress]

I think I'll go see The Least God. Borflax doesn't seem too friendly.


Would you rather be able to walk on walls & ceilings or to walk on rainbows & clouds?

[Jubal]

Walls would have a lot more utility - clouds are quite hard to get up to!


Would you rather your walls were covered in frescoes or in mosaics?

[The Seamstress]

That's why you'd need to walk up rainbows - to get to the clouds 


Frescoes, I think. Because if I ever got tired of them, they could just be painted over and/or I could have new ones. I'd rather have mosaic floors.

Would you rather have a huge amount of tomatoes or tons of zucchini growing in your garden?

[Jubal]

Tomatoes, I think, I definitely eat a lot more tomatoes.

Would you rather have a padded, carpeted, super-soft floor or a mosaic one?
