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 Redditโ€™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.

WYR have super strength, speed, perception, or durability?

-Super Strength:

Your muscles grow and shrink instantaneously depending on how much you use them. Lifting heavy weights give you huge muscles wile laying still causes them to atrophy. Despite your new strength your bones are still as strong as they normally would be so be careful.

-Super Speed:

You are able to move your body incredibly fast. However your perception isn't any faster, making it difficult to be precise with your fast movements. Also, your durability is still the same so moving too fast can cause windburn, and moving or stopping too fast can result in broken bones and organ damage.

-Super Perception:

The world around you moves in slow motion. Your movements feel sluggish and days feel long. People also talk incredibly slow making it difficult to understand what they're saying.

-Super Durability:

You are now indestructible, unable to be pierced, unable to age, and unable to form new memories. From now until the end of time you shall remain the same both body and mind.

Would you rather play a high stakes game with the potential to win 10 billion USD, or take a much smaller settlement and a disfiguring punishment?

Let's play a game of statistics.

For each round of the game, there is a 1 in 10 chance of you losing. To win this game, you must play through 20 total rounds. If you win, you get $10,000,000,000 (10 Billion USD). If you lose, you will die. If you elect not to play, one of your fingers or toes will be randomly taken, but you will be given $1,000 dollars.

If you elect to play but do not want to finish the game, you will die unless you play at least 10 rounds. If you elect to stop playing at 10 rounds, 10 of your fingers or toes will be randomly taken, but you will receive $100,000.

WYR Forgive Which Teenager

You come from a different location and hear about the following 2 teens. Your job is to imagine you were a part of that community/location and determine who to forgive

Teenager A - Comes from a rich family, has a fast car, get lots of women etc... One day, he decides to drive almost twice the speed limit on a windy road with 3 girls in the car. He gets into an accident. The girls, as well as the other car get moderate to severe physical injuries. The teen himself becomes so messed up, that even after rehabilitation, he can't speak well, has brain issues, etc.... He will be okay financially because of his family. They paid for everyone's medical bills, had the best lawyers, etc... The community rallies behind him because (according to the other teens) he is the popular guy who "made a mistake" and his suffering/issues more than compensates for any negative ill will.

Teenager B - Comes from an upper middle class family, is good with computers and is an undiagnosed autistic person who couldn't get a girl to save his life. His close friends all mess with him in one way or another. Whether its something like excluding him from parties/get togethers, gaslighting him, and bullies bullied him etc.... He had a breaking point and decided to hack into 30+ people's email accounts and social media. While he had access to financial info, SSNs, he never used them or kept them. The worst things he would do are delete all the emails, mess with people's social media by changing their PFP to a fart or a funny dog image and post that "Jill hooked up with Brian behind Shelly's back" (all true). His punishment is community service, $5,000 for lawyers and the entire community hates him.

Who would you forgive? Do you forgive Teen A because their life long suffering is more than adequate to compensate for any hate they would receive? After all, it was an accident (as if one couldn't anticipate that possibility). He had it all but threw it away. Or do you forgive Teen B because they were bullied and messed with until his breaking point and his reaction is understandable?

Which one of these scenarios would you rather be forced to do to live?

Scenario A) Youโ€™re strapped down arms and legs flat on a concrete block, standing 10 feet above you is a very angry (at you) 450 pounds (of fat) 6 foot tall young man (early 20s) heโ€™s going to jump on you full force in whatever way he think will hurt you the most, thereโ€™s nothing you can do to lighten the impact. He will do this 3 times and he will be unable to take any damage.

Scenario B) Fully give up all electronics, internet access and non public transportation for the next 30 years (Never able to watch TV, own a phone, use a computer, own a gaming console etc) you also cannot use anyone elseโ€™s or any public electronics. Your only form of transportation is also public transport (Busses, Trains etc) too, no matter what.

Scenario C) be given 1 billion dollars but only have 6 months to live, you can do whatever you want but the moment the clock strikes 12 am on whatever day you choose this option 6 months later you will die a very painful yet quick death. Any unspent money disappears so you cannot save it or give it to someone else, but any items you bought will still be around.

Scenario D) You receive a curse, you will go through (in full time) whatever the most traumatic experience (that doesnโ€™t kill them) of anyone you ever touches gone through or will gone through, plus you will never be able to forget it and the most traumatic experiences you go through will be what you dream about every night. Once you touch that person again, you will not experience it ever again so it is a one time thing. However If you do not touch anyone new at all within 3 days time you will instantly die a quick death and have to experience everything you went through for eternity. You cannot mention you also know whatever it is to them, if you do you die instantly.

WYR world governed by Disney, Apple, Google, Tesla, Microsoft, or Meta?

Imagine a scenario where all national governments have been dissolved, and instead, the world is now governed by corporations. If you had to choose, which of these companies would you want to have control over the world?

For context, each company represents more than just its core brand. For example:

โ€ข Disney includes Marvel, ABC, Star Wars, ESPN, and more.

โ€ข Tesla encompasses everything Elon Musk owns, like Twitter (X), SpaceX, and Neuralink.

Which would you choose and why? And what kind of world would you expect under their control?

A pandemic brain eating virus has ravaged the world to the point where 30% of humans remain, another 50% dead, and the rest turned into cronenberg monsters. Which university campus would you rather take refuge in during this time?

The cronenberg monsters aren't like the ones in the last of us, but more divise like resident evil, some bordering on paranormal scp territory.

Some of these universities may be inhabited, some might just be abandoned...might. You'll just have to use your experience or presumptions to judge how they handled it.

What super power would you rather have?

I love doing these ๐Ÿ˜Š and hope everyone enjoys them. I've put together a list of abilities along with their drawbacks. So like the title says which of these super power's would you rather have? Make your pick and explain why in the comment section thank you all for your time.

1 Quicksave and Reload At any point in your day you say quick save and that moment is saved for you. You can go back to that moment at anytime you want. To clarify you're not a time traveler, you're simply going back to a moment that you saved for yourself and no one else will remember it but you. Example it's Monday morning you're waiting for the bus at 9:10 am, you say quick save just incase at 9:30 am the bus comes, it goes out of control and is about to hit you you say RELOAD and boom your back at the bus stop at 9:10 am. The drawback about this power is you HAVE to say the words quick save and reload. You will not be able to reload if something happens to you that results in your death. The power is not automatic, with out you speaking it won't work. Also not multiple quicksilver saves you only get one per instance, meaning your new quick save overwrite your old one.

2 Chameleon. With this power you can camouflage any surface you come into contact with. If you're in a forest on a tree, next to a car in a parking lot, even in a building you can camouflage yourself along the wall, think of the predator and that's the kind of camouflage I'm talking about. The power work while you move as well, but obviously it would be better if you stand still. The down side is you can't stay hidden forever you can only holf camouflage for the max of 20 minutes at a time before your body rejects it nor does it hide you from other forms of sight like infrared or xray, plus someone can still smell you. Also this power takes a lot out of you physically. The more you use it the more drained you become to the point of passing out. You have to rest and eat at regular intervals in order to offset that.

3 Summoner. You can use your power to summon beast and monsters from other dimensions into our world. Any sort of kaiju, huge lizard, dinosaur etc. You think it and a portal opens up bringing it to our world. Ex you're in a fight and you summon freaking godzilla!!!! Overkill but you get the picture. Ok down side is the monsters you summon you don't control them. Any monster you summon you have a psychic link with, they won't hurt you since you're there ride back home but they don't have to listen to you. So again for example if you SUMMON FREAKING GODZILLA ๐Ÿฒ if godzilla is like F this guy then he won't help you, added to that the more monsters you summon and the stronger they are the more it takes out of you. Say if you summon a whole squad of werewolves to kill a gang it will take a huge toll on you, weakness, delirious, blood coming out of your ears that kind of stuff to the point of passing out. And with you unconscious the monster's have free rain to do whatever they want, since you can't send them back.

4 Parasite. With this power you're body is shared with a powerful parasite, think venom minus the cool relationship him and Brooke have. This parasite wants to consume. You control it to a point, it helps you heal gives you super strength and speed, but it also hungers. Because of the parasite you have to eat much more than a normal human would need, to keep the parasite stated and your diet will mostly revolve around meat. Raw or cooked doesn't matter. The longer you go without eating the more hungry and furious the parasite becomes to the point it operates your body on its own in order to feed on any animal or person it can find.

5 Drunken Master. ๐Ÿบ This one is a favorite of mine ๐Ÿ˜… now you know how the hulk gets stronger the more angry he gets. Well not you no you sir or madam, you get stronger the more alcohol you consume!!! Wine, beer, raw ethanol doesn't matter as long as your good and drunk you have super power's and the more drunk you are the stronger you get. The downside is obviously your human liver ๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿคฃ but I'm sure any government with a super hero on the payroll will be more than happy to give you a few free liver transplants. So stay away from those AA meetings because the world needs its drunk super hero, yay alcoholism ๐Ÿธ oh also when your sober you have no super power's and are a regular human, so keep that corona close by.

6 Spirit of Templar. This is the last one, in you're family there is a sword that has been passed down there generations given by a powerful holy cleric. It resembles a medieval arming sword. When you weild this blade you are surrounded in a magical suit or armor, with strength and relaxes magically enhanced, you can call down holy light to burn evil creatures or burn away your foes. You can also call upon a magical horse to carry you into battle. However you power is dependent on whether you ahere to the rules given to your family by the holy cleric. This power is only strictly good guy, think of a paladin for those of you that play dnd. You cannot harm anyone that is innocent, you cannot do anything deceptive or deceitful, you can't cheat anyone, you cannot go in between the lines there is only good and evil no gray for you. Justice, forgiveness, righteousness, are the tenants of this power. For ex if you're chasing down a man who just R worded someone, and he surrenders you can't kill him, you must take him into custody. If you do the power is stripped from you instantly and given to someone else in your blood line. Same if you caught someone robbing someone else you can't give that person a pass you must arrest them, the sword will urge for justice. If you refuse the power is stripped from you.

So there it is that's all the power's I'll list them in number order i hope you guys found this fun and enjoyable ๐Ÿ˜Š

Would you rather have The Infinity Gauntlet or a Green Lantern Ring?

The Gauntlet has all the stones, cannot be taken off your arm at all by anyone else, only you can take it off and you can handle the force and power of the stones, and yes you can snap your fingers and not be affected by the power of the stones.

The Green Power Ring Comes with a Lantern for charging but you have the strongest willpower to create very powerful and durable constructs of whatever you can imagine and only you can take the ring off your hand, no one else.

Which powers/magic WYR to survive in a monster infested area?

Unfortunately, you've been transported to a dystopian earth where various monsters have invaded an laid it to waste; fortunately for you, you've found 4 magical items but can only wield one. The one who offers them to you and 3 others, gives a challenge of surviving this world for 1 year to earn a prize of $10 million; however when you pick your choice he lets you all know that the challenge can be ended sooner by killing the other 3 where the last one remaining will get their share(s) so what will you pick and do?

#Lanterner:

  • You're given a lantern that allows you to launch fireballs, imbue weapons with the fire element, flamethrower attacks by using your mana.
  • you can also summon at most 2, 10-foot flame knights wielding swords (summoning one drains 50% of your total mana). They can be remotely controlled but your body will become inert.

#Spellsword:

  • Given a claymore & armor enchanted by magic to increase your physicality by 20x, for 1 hour a day you can fly using this armor.
  • You can use your mana to fire energy beams from your blade or from your hands, you are also able to generate a barrier by the same mechanic.

#White Lion:

  • you are given an amulet that can transform you into a humanoid lion form, where your abilities are increased by 50x but this form only lasts for 10 minutes and it can only be used once a day. In this form you gain white flame control and a shockwave roar attack.
  • in your base form, you have a 15x increase to your physicality, sharp claws, and enhanced senses.

#Cleric:

  • You are given a spellbook that contains various cantrips capable of repelling monsters and healing injuries, at the cost of mana.
  • while you do lack directly offensive abilities you can use your book to carve protective runes and sigils onto bases or weapons to deal additional damage to monsters.

WYR Catch anything or throw anything

Catch anything travelling towards you: It is what it says, you are able to catch anything from a baseball to a bullet with no damage.

Throw anything with perfect accuracy and speed: Perfect speed means the optimal speed an object would need to travel to wherever your destination is.

Limitations: The weight of the object (Realistically you can't lift a bus or catch a plane, so your physical abilities dictate the weight you can lift/catch)

WYR only be able to listen to music made in the last 10 years or before 10 years ago?

So right now it would be music before or after 2014 but next year it would be 2015 so you lose music or gain music depending on the choice.

Bonus WYR: what about movies or video games. How would the number of years have to change for you to change your choice?
