Would you rather ...?
For this post I'm gonna answer some 'would you rather' questions. I've taken them from various websites such as yourather.com and rrrather.com.The percentages you see below each question belong to the two choices respectively.
1. Would you rather lose the ability to feel emotions or be physically paralysed?
Be physically paralysed. The thing that separates us humans from plants and animals is that we are able to feel emotions and convey them. Okay maybe animals can do that too, but we have much better abilities to convey it and affect others. Paralysis isn't that much of a problem (choi choi though) cos we could all be like Stephen Hawking.

2. Would you rather have invisibility and teleportation or the ability to fly and read minds?
Invisibility and transportation. I would ... do some stuff. I read a novel before about this guy who turned invisible. He went on an adventure (sort of) during that period. And along the way it taught him many lessons.

3. Would you rather have an attractive spouse that treats you badly or an ugly spouse that loves you?
The latter. I think looks are secondary. And if I really wanted my wife to be prettier, there's plastic surgery. There's no character surgery or love surgery.
32% | 68%
4. Would you rather have two mums or have two dads?
Have two dads. I don't know why too. More people picked otherwise; I think cos mums would be more motherly ...?

5. Would you rather be rich or be famous?
Be famous. My reasoning was that if I was famous, I could at least use connections (if need be) to get me a decent job. From there I would work towards earning money.

6. Would you rather always run or always crawl?
Always run.
90% | 10%
7. Would you rather listen to Baby for an hour or listen to Gangnam Style for 10 hours?
Gangnam style for 10 hours. Asian pride. And there isn't rap in Gangnam Style, which I don't like.

8. Would you rather have one innocent person executed or one guilty person released?
One guilty person released. We'll pick the one that's about to be released soon and release him earlier. Tough question, this one.

9. Would you rather be obese or starving all your life?
Be obese. Although people may laugh at you for being obese, I suppose at least you would be well-fed. Although your health may not be pinkest though.

10. Would you rather kill yourself or push a button that kills 1000 people?
Kill yourself. I'll take one for the team.

11. Would you rather have a personal chauffeur or a personal chef?
Personal chef. Omnomnomnom I don't mind squeezing in MRTs but have good food at home.
27% | 73%
12. Would you rather have infinite knowledge or infinite power?
Infinite knowledge. Infinite power corrupts people just like all the authoritarian leaders that lived before us / living amongst us. Infinite knowledge would make sensible people respect you and naturally follow you.

13. Would you rather eliminate all bad drivers or stop waiting in queues?
Eliminate bad drivers. Bad drivers may kill innocent people when they crash into others. Queues can help hone our patience, or we could just find stuff to do in-between.

14. Would you rather get piercings or tattoos?
Piercings. I don't mind ear piercings but not tattoos. I'm generally alright seeing both though.
39% | 61%
15. Would you rather walk across hot burning coals or across sharp, painful Lego blocks?
Lego blocks. Burns may leave permanent damage, Legos just make me hate them forever.
22% | 78%
16. Would you rather be smart and ignored or dumb but listened to?
Smart. 吾愛吾師，但吾更愛真理。
73% | 27%
17. Would you rather use a touchscreen or mouse and keyboard for all devices?
I'd say mouse and keyboard. It's more tried and tested in a way; I'm more kiasu lah.
66% | 34%
18. Would you rather lose both arms or legs?
Both legs. I need arms to do more stuff than legs.
22% | 78%
19. Would you rather be forced to watch TV all the time or not watch it at all?
Not watch it. I could enjoy books or movies or other forms of entertainment.
31% | 69%
20. Would you rather never have sex or never find true love?
Never find true love. Sorry ah but according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, sex is more important than love, part of physiological needs. Love is after physiology and safety, which means I must at least have sex and stay safe before feeling loved.

King of England. Very biased here, since I'm an Anglophile.

In person. Cos I'd look better in photos as well, ain't it? And if all else fails, hello Photoshop~!

24. Would you rather be an excellent singer or a superb writer?
Superb writer. Even though I like to sing, I think literature is more important.
56% | 44%
25. Would you rather be half your height or twice your weight?
Be twice my weight. IF I'M HALF MY HEIGHT NOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE ME! So I'd rather be twice my weight. Who says they aren't muscles but fat?
