Ask fun, intriguing and thought-provoking "Would You Rather" questions

WouldYouRather goes like this - OP posts a list of options that are either similarly good or similarly bad and people in the comments discuss how they would answer.

A Would You Rather question must be difficult to answer. If your question is easy to answer or just silly, it is probably more suited for r/pollgames. For regular poll-type questions, see r/polls. Offensive posts will be removed from /r/wouldyourather

If you choose to make your WYR into a poll using Reddit’s poll feature you must put the entire question with both options in the submission title.

Example WYRs:

  • WYR have x-ray vision or bionic hearing?
  • WYR find true love or 1 million dollars?
  • WYR be an astronaut or a deep sea diver?

Please try to be creative with your would-you-rathers. The crux of a good WYR is that the full implications of each choice are easy to understand and fun to debate. Low-effort gross-out posts like "would you rather ingest [bodily fluid] or have sexual relations with [family member]" will be removed and repeat offenders will be banned.

If you're just looking to get people's opinions on less consequential things like ice cream flavors, please post to in a different subreddit.

Would you rather spend 2 years being a plantation slave or be 2 million dollars in debt to the mafia?

  1. NO you cannot run away from being a slave and NO you cannot run away from the mafia they will both find you.
  2. You're going to be an old American cotton picking slave, not going to be sold and your not going to be whipped unless you step out of line. Hard labor and hot weather everyday.
  3. You only have two years to give the mafia there money in monthly increments or all at once, your choice. If you fail to make the payment they will come and beat you. And after the two years are up they will come and kill you.

Would you rather go back to 1935 with enhanced memory that allows you to recall everything you know about that era, stay in the present with $5 million USD, or travel to 2115 and have the equivalent of $1 billion in today's money?

  • 1935 – The Past: = You won't receive any cash, but you'll have an extraordinary advantage: an enhanced memory that lets you recall all the knowledge you have about the past. Use this insight to shape your destiny in 1935!
  • The Present = You'll have $5 million in today's money. While it might not cover modern housing prices, it's still a hefty sum that most of us can only dream of.
  • 2115 – The Future: = You receive instant wealth equivalent to $1 billion in today’s terms. However, you’ll be stepping into an unknown world. In 90 years, the state of governments, the environment, and society could range from utopian to dystopian—perhaps even an AI-dominated reality!

Additional Notes:

  • Your choice is final—no turning back once you decide.
  • You must device now, though you have one week to prepare, say your goodbyes, and ready yourself for the journey ahead. have one week
  • Whether you travel to the past or the future, you’ll arrive without any identification. You'll need to establish a new identity and navigate the local government systems on your own.
  • You won't be able to interact with yourself. Time paradox, multiple dimensions, and all of that stuff.

WYR Become a Fish Magnet or Stuck in Paintings

Would you rather become a fish magnet where, continuously for the rest of your life, any live fish within a 10 mile radius from your current location is teleported to you and stuck to your body for 24 hours.

Or

For the rest of your life, any time you look at a painting (must be framed, does not include street art/graffiti), you are instantly teleported into the universe/subject matter of that painting for the amount of minutes that the painting is worth (ex: $10 painting = 10min inside the painting). Furthermore, paintings without a price tag automatically result in 2 hours.

Would you rather never have to work again but you get stung by a wasp every day at a random time or continue your normal life?

wasp - You are given enough money each week to live a middle class lifestyle and it will be increased over time to match inflation. However, every day at a random time a wasp will appear on a random place on your body and sting you. The species of wasp may vary each time but will generally be wasps with painful stings like paper wasps, yellowjackets, tarantula hawks, etc. You will not build up immunity to the venom nor develop an allergy to it.

normal life - Nothing changes. You continue your life of work, school, etc.

Would you rather have ten thousand people pray for you, or each give you a dollar?

And part 2: how much would we need to raise or lower the dollar amount for you to flip your answer?

The details:

-the money would be automatically collected for you and given to you all at once in $20 bills, so you don’t have any hassles collecting

-tax free since I know someone will ask

-the people praying for you can be of whatever group or denomination or belief system you prefer

-if you want, you can give some guidance on what you want them to focus on in their prayers. It would be given anonymously and there will be no contact between you and them.

-after praying, they will forget, so you can’t use it for fame or contacts or to hit them up for anything in the future.

-no one will know you are part of this experiment or what answer you chose

-in the event that the $1 would present a financial hardship to the person, it would instead come out of a fund set aside by a wealthy person for this purpose.

WYR be in the middle of the forest or the ocean ?

you're randomly teleported to the location with a full stomach.

If you choose ocean you're teleported onto a small sturdy boat with no paddles smack dab in the middle of the ocean with 4 days worth of water (the water doesn't affect the weight of the boat) and a fishing kit with no bait. (eating raw fish doesn't affect you)

If you choose forest you're teleported to the middle of an ocean-sized forest with a survival knife, a dim flashlight with limited battery, and a box of matches.

In both scenarios you have a radar that tells you if something is near you, but doesn't tell you what it is. (it measures by ft or meters)

The time is 3AM and doesnt change, if you survive for a week a helicopter comes to pick you up immediately and time goes back to normal.

Which one would you choose, and why?

WYR be instantly recognized by everyone or instantly forgotten by everyone?

  • Everyone recognizes you – No matter where you go, everyone knows who you are, even if you've never met them before. Strangers will approach you, want to talk, take pictures, ask for autographs, etc. Privacy is nearly impossible.
  • Everyone forgets you – No matter where you go, people forget who you are after every interaction. They might think you look familiar, but they never retain any real memory of you. You still exist in official records, and your job/life can function, but socially, you're a complete stranger every time.

Would you rather be trapped on the Ishimura but it's infested with Aliens or be stuck on Sevastopol but there's necromorphs everywhere? Factors are working against the alien and necromorphs respectively.

A: Xenomorphs everywhere, all you have is a pulse rifle and ammo. Drones retain damage immunity to small arms fire but once you get the plasma cutter, it's game over. The plasma cutter...is in the medical bay, where the drone hive is. Special order 939 is not in effect, the ship WILL attempt to kill the aliens and unlike the actual DS, security is most definitely alive...and pissed.

B: Necromorphs have killed everyone except Waits and the marshals. You have a shotgun and nothing else. You must find a shuttle and escape. You can lock doors to buy some time and weld vents shut. The necromorphs WILL use the top vents so seal those as well. This will buy you oh...three minutes.

Engine parts are in the med lab, nav coordinates are in the terminal and a minigun (you'll need it) is in the locked door leading to Tanaka.

good luck

WYR be an incel forever or be a cuck forever

Incel= No sexual relationships or romantic relationships for the rest of your life. By sexual relationships, I mean sex with people in general. No prostitutes or casual hookups. You can still jerk off, watch porn, and buy sex dolls and toys; Just nothing with another person.

Cuck= Every sexual or romantic relationship will be polyamorous and will involve seeing your partner having sex with other people.

WYR: $100k or 1 Million Cans of Root Beer Salary

You have two choices:

$100K a year, flat salary. 1 million cans of root beer per year.

Every day after work, a truck delivers 2,739 cans to you. You can do whatever you want with them: drink, sell, or distribute. However, you’ll have to handle storage, shipping, and logistics while still working the job that is paying you in root beers.

The root beers have to be cans, no syrup, kegs, barrels. They can also be any type of root beers, as long as root beer is written on the can (diet, cream soda root beer), could be your brand or name brand root beer, every week you can decide to change the type of root beer as long as it is a 33cl can with root beer marked on it.

The 100k are taxed. The root beers are untaxed, but if you start a business to sell them, you’ll pay taxes on that income. If you sell them at $1 per can, retail giants would take a 30% margin, meaning you can negotiate with them to handle all the logistics for anything lower than $0.7 a can (would probably be lower but you can negotiate).

You can also give money to the delivery driver to deliver them directly to the retail chain you have a contract with so you don’t have to handle storage.

Demand is a challenge: root beer isn’t flying off the shelves, so you’d likely need state-level distribution to move that volume.

Would you take the stable salary or try to turn all those root beers into cash?

You're given 300 tablets of a new drug called MDT-48. The drug can enhance and organize memory retention making you incredibly productive and smart with 1 tablet lasting a day. Withdrawals can range from a headache to permanent nerve damage the longer you take them. What WYR do?

You're the only one you know who has the drug.
