Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make!

Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

Ok. So you can be in perfect health. You can run extreme marathons, swim the english channel and free climb mount everest. However you cannot use any modern conveyance. No car, no planes, no motorboats. Not even as passenger. You can ride horses, sail in ships provided they have no modern things, you can ride bikes but no busses or trains. EDITED - got a few replies so making some clarifications. This is a one time zap to perfect health and fitness and you will be predisposed to stay that way (you will like healthy eating and excersising) but its not magical and if you insist on purposely getting out of shape and unhealthy you can force yoursefl to. Your not wolverine and don't have superpowers.

On the flip side you have some sort of all access pass to transportation. busses, trains, planes, taxis, ubers, whatever. You don't get free cars or such but again all access. Even limos. However you will always be out of shape. No matter how well you eat or excersise you will be flabby and not in great shape but not so much you have medical issues. EDITED - got a few replies so making some clarifications. This will not make you any healthier than you are currently. It just makes you out of shape to a level that does not make your health situation worse and for some reason you just can't get into shape.

For me I will take the health. I like biking and cities anyway and im not big on travel anyway.

In scenario 1, if you change homes you can move between them to transport your property, but you cannot leave once you're settled in. You can only move once every 15 years. The deal also includes programming languages, conlangs, extinct languages, and alien languages if contact with them ever occurs.

In scenario 2, you forget how to read overnight and are never able to learn it again for any language. All travel fees and gas money is free and you may also enter restricted areas like military bases. If the technology for far space travel is invented within your lifetime, you may also go there. If you are ever imprisoned, you can walk out of the facility unharmed.

In both scenarios you live to be 95.

You do not get to turn these powers off, they are always active.

This question was inspired by those toy dinosaur things.

They are not identified until they are caught, and die in prison the same day you do. They never manage to escape, but sometimes there are rumors the authorities do not take seriously.

You do not live in the same area as them, but they are famous enough that everyone around you knows who they are.

You cannot change your name or get plastic surgery.

$1/minute sleeping and $0.06/step taken.

This gives you 8x60x$1 = $480/night or 10000x$0.06= $600 a day for the recommended 10k steps a day.

If you choose the first option, $1 million will be immediately added to your bank account, however if you choose the second option, starting from today everyday your chances of winning $1 billion increase by 0.005%. If you accept your chances will start at 0% and keep increasing.

  • You don't age in that time.
  • You must use them, can't let em go to waste.

Back in time too, so if you're currently 40, you're heading back to 2005.

You have a button where you have to pick one of these options. All people are the same age and health. If you choose 2 people to have a painless death, how many more people have to die for you to consider the 1 persons excruciating death instead?

No you can't pick the people.

You have a chef prepare the meal for you. The mediocre meal is just like a very okay 5/10 whatever of your pick, but you have to eat the same thing every day.

For the random meals you must consume the 500 calorie meal in full each timenyou choose to have a meal. No skipping once a meal is there.

Inedible or rotten stuff is not included. Just food that might be alien to you. Like it could be balut one day and a schnitzel the next. Maybe haggis.

Nothing completely unreasonable.

Allergies will be compensated for ig. Choice based dietary preferences will not. If you're vegan you're fucked.

Nutrient needs will be met in both cases. No health issues will arise due to an unbalanced diet.

The group chat got leaked and now you have been sentenced to death in a Roman wild beast hunt. If you kill the animal, another one will be put in to take its place. You are completely unarmed. Any animal that could eventually kill a human is allowed. (You can’t say something like a fruit fly, for instance.)

Option 1: Let the serial killer-rapist go free. You know they will continue harming others, but you do not take any life yourself.

Option 2: Execute a 100% innocent man in public. The man is certainly innocent, and your action will end an innocent life for no reason other than this choice.

Which do you choose and why?

You get one month to prepare. For the geese, you only can use your bare hands and all three will come at you at the same time. For the bear, you can use any one weapon invented before 500 AC.

You receive $100,000 for each goose killed, or $10,000,000 if you kill the bear.

Option 1: The Serial Killer Partner

Will never be caught by anyone unless you choose to snitch on them.

To you, they are loving, loyal, and genuinely caring, they treat you perfectly.

They don’t target you or anyone close to you.

You carry the moral burden of knowing what they do.

Option 2: The Perfectly Faithful but Universally Hated Partner

Your partner is completely harmless, no violence, no crime.

They are also loyal, supportive, and truly in love with you.

BUT: for reasons beyond explanation, every other person in the world hates them. Family, friends, coworkers, strangers, everyone despises them instantly and irrationally.

This means bringing them anywhere will always end in rejection, arguments, or people cutting ties with you because of your partner. Rules:

  1. Both options assume you genuinely love your partner and they genuinely love you. Additionally, the relationship is permanent.

  2. In Option 1, the killings never touch your direct circle of loved ones. Other than that, it's fair game.

  3. In Option 2, the hatred others feel for your partner can’t be explained or changed, it’s permanent, and you can’t “convince” people otherwise.
