/r/WouldYouRather
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.

You've been kicked out of college and are forced to move back in with your parents. The problem is your parents are abusive towards you. You also want to move to Europe. WYR live with your parents for 3 months before moving to Europe OR get an apartment for 1 year and then move to Europe in 1 year?
You have $50,000 in savings so you're not completely broke.

Would you rather be stuck in a short series of Time Loops or have specific Time Travel abilities
You live each day twice and decide which version of events you want to be the real version. If you die the loop stops.
You can jump back in time to exactly 1 month ago provided you never exist more than twice in any given time.(Essentially a 2 month cool down by your perception) Once you jump back you must accept the outcomes of this new reality and whatever you make of it.

You somehow survived a nuclear war, emerging from the rubble to see destruction with following some survivors to a town hall. The police along emergency responders ask for help to restore the community. What WYR do?
The meeting is comprised of roughly 300 people. A 3rd is hopeful and willing to listen and help their current leaders, a 3rd wants to leave and hope to find a better situation, and last third has abandoned all hope and "exit game".
From what you heard before the internet and news cut out missiles struck all over the Earth.

WYR be able to play every musical instrument proficiently or speak every language to the level of your native language?
Your choice is between the ability to play with total competence all musical instruments or to be able to speak fluently all human languages.
I pick languages: I love music but the ability to communicate with everyone everywhere you go is too good to pass up.

Would you rather have your intelligence be boosted up so you are the most intelligent person in the world or where everyone else's intelligence is boosted up so you are the least intelligent person in the world?
Basically would you rather have all of the intelligence or give all of the intelligence to everyone else. By the way everyone else's intelligence is still going to be the same in comparison to each other so for example if Tom is more intelligent than Dave than if you choose the second option then Tom will still be more intelligent than Dave but Dave will be more intelligent than you.

What kind of invisibility WYR have? (this posted 21 December 2024)
(Happy Winter Solstice! 😁🙂)
You'd have this ability from now until 1 February 2031.
In options 1 to 4, you can use your chosen form of invisibility anytime for however long and as many times as you wish.
In options 3 to 6, you can carry up to 20 kg of mass (including one's clothes) which can be made invisible as well.
In options 1 and 2:
No covering, not even body paint or (more than a little) dirt. You can carry up to 200 grams of mass that covers less than a total body area of 200 sq cm, and restricted to head, neck, limbs, or waist. (Natural) hair isn't counted in this.
In options 3 and 4:
invisibility to digital cameras made in 1980 or after, police with guns and/or who make under $200 000/yr, or CEOs who make over $1 million/yr.
Digital cameras with replacement parts made in 1980 or after will make the camera as if it was made in 1980 or after.
option 3: invisibility to most digital cameras, armed and/or rich police, or millionaire CEOs (I'm a ciswoman between 18 to 30 years of age)
option 4: invisibility to most digital cameras, armed and/or rich police, or millionaire CEOs (I'm not a ciswoman between 18 to 30 years of age)
In options 5 to 6:
3 hours of invisibility per year starting in 2025. Each transition (into or out of invisibility) counts as a minimum of 5 minutes.

Which of these hair hair length(s) would you rather? (you might want to read the details)
You are offered $5 000/month to conform to the hair style you chose for 17 400 hr (725 days = 17 400 hrs) in 2025 and 2026.
In options 3 to 6, you can make your scalp hair grow 10 000x faster than usual, until the end of 2026 or you stop conforming to the parameters of your choice: whichever comes first.
It also ends after it's grown 20 meters of hair, though this doesn't include natural hair growth.
You can treat, dye, bleach, otherwise color, perm, and/or straighten it, as long as >95% of the individual hairs remain the length of the parameters you chose.
In options 5 and 6, you can switch to short or long; or both, though one style must predominate on >75% of the area of your scalp, and the unit of the square root of the area of a patch of short or long hair must exceed the perimeter by 0.2 (e.g. a patch 50 sq cm in area can't have a perimeter that exceeds 35 cm, a patch 1 sq cm in area can't have a perimeter that exceeds 5 cm, and so on).
If you cut it short and want it to grow back, the time it's >10 cm to <60 cm will count as not conforming to the parameters.
e.g. you can have >75% of the total area of your scalp hair long and ≤25% short, or >75% of the total area of your scalp hair short and ≤25% long,

WYR: Have Super Strength or Super Speed
The age old debate.
Super Strength: You can lift around 100 tons. You durability is enhanced as well as your strength, to be able to lift and strike without doing damage to your skin or bones.
Super Speed: You can run around the speed of Mach 5. Your durability and reaction time is enhanced to survive and accurately navigate at this speed.

Your lifespan is now tied to a set of objects, when you use it for the last time, you will die. Which would you rather have?
You can not substitute these items with another set, if you need to use salt, or paper clips, you have to use these ones

WYR Hunt, Kill, Clean/ Prepare, and Cook all your meals but get a passive income of $7.25 USD per hour for the rest of you life or Never have to pay for or make any food you eat again?
Option 1- Free money but you can't rely on trade or an economy or others to stay fed. You can farm and raise livestock but you can't just buy the animal or seed and must get it another way. Also you must still do all the work to prepare your food still. Not sure if there are ways people will try to cheat this but it is the intent it is $174 per day and $63,510+ per year. Each hour you can have the money appear in your local currency in cash or deposited directly into a account of your choosing. It is not tax free so take that into account.
Option 2- Only food you eat counts and it is not something you can share. If you try to say, give away leftovers, they immediately become inedible. You can select anything you want to eat and it just appears perfectly prepared or if you wanted to go out to eat your meal is covered by a mysterious stranger. You may still tip for the service if you wish. No trying to get a friend who owns a restaurant to split the income to cheat it and make money or something else like that. Just eat what you want at no cost or effort, for life.

One of these three guys will be executed and you will choose which one. You will only know one good and one bad action of each one. Who WYR execute?
Person A. Was a bully in high school which lead one of his classmates to heavy depression issues he never recovered from. But now he donates a lot of money to charity, feeding a lot of people and building houses.
Person B. He cheats on his current wife with a younger woman. But he's a good doctor and very nice to his patients.
Person C. Is a super exploitative and rude boss to his employees. But once he donated one of his own kidneys to save his wife.

Would you rather get zero or sporadic "thank yous" for doing standard household chores, but have a happy and content partner, or get thanked every time, but have your partner's love and respect for you decline each time they were obliged to say "thank you"?
A "standard household chore" is something like doing the dishes, running a load of washing, general tidying, grocery shopping, vacuuming, watering the garden, etc.
Basically, doing your fair share of managing the household like an independent adult.
ETA: you'd still get thanked for actual favours and things like that. You just wouldn't get a thank you if your partner came home and found you'd hung the washing out or unstacked the dishwasher or whatever.
