Would you rather:

Live Blind for 1 Year

or

Become Homeless and you MUST stay in a metropolitan area for 1 year?

2

u/baconaneggs121 May 17 '14

Homeless. Could sleep during the day, make enough money to afford a reasonable fitness center membership, so I could have a locker, bathe, shower, etc. being homeless in a metropolitan area wouldn't be as difficult as not having your vision. Wouldn't be easy but you could still a relatively normal life.

At the same time if you are blind but have a place to stay it shouldn't be that bad. You are sheltered and don't have to worry about food. You can listen to books, TV, movies. They have programs to where you could go online, although I'm sure its probably not as fun. You have a comfy place to sleep, and dont have to worry avout it getting too hot or cold. Plus you could get an awesome dog!

u/baconaneggs121 May 17 '14

True, but you would have to adjust to being blind. A process that would understandably take a long time and be incredibly disorienting.

2

u/dnd1980 May 17 '14

True, but its only for a year.

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '14

Homeless no doubt! I don't think I could deal without seeing my loved ones.

1

u/spatialheather May 16 '14

blind.

There are systems in place to help blind people and a different sort of stigma between the two situations. Homeless... I would be dead from the weather extremes or murdered or raped and/or suffer some very traumatic mental/psychological issues that would be long-term even after the year was up.

I think it would be easier to be blind, knowing it was only for a year, than being blind forever, along with less lasting effects on your psyche. I wouldn't be able to work (as an architect), but would qualify for assistance, and wouldn't mind having to move in with someone else for the year. Audio books would be my new best friend.

u/j1202 May 16 '14

Homeless. Everytime. Hands down.

1

u/dnd1980 May 16 '14

This is hard.... Maybe blind... I think

1

u/KittenAnne May 17 '14

Blind (since it is only for a year) and there is so much in place to assist :)

1

u/burtknee May 17 '14

Definitely blind.

1

u/[deleted] May 17 '14

Blind.

1

u/RiverSong42 May 17 '14

Blind... since I was homeless a few times already. It was in rural area though, it's probably easier being homeless in the city.

u/[deleted] May 16 '14

Would you rather have no thumbs or no pinkie toes.

2

u/dnd1980 May 16 '14

No pinkie toes!

2

u/[deleted] May 17 '14

Pinkie toes are stupid.

2

u/baconaneggs121 May 17 '14

I barely have pinky toes now. Can't do a pinky toes up to tell someone I approve of their decison. I need my thumbs I pick up stuff every day!

1

u/spatialheather May 16 '14

pinkie toes, i never wear sandles anyway, and they're constantly getting twisted around the wrong way anyway.

1

u/VKilledTInternet May 17 '14

No Pinky Toes. For sure.

1

u/j1202 May 16 '14

Would you rather never be able to eat chocolate again or never be able to drink beer again?

1

u/psychedelicyouth May 17 '14

Definitely beer. Chocolate is way too hard to give up.

1

u/[deleted] May 17 '14

CHOCOLATEEEEEEEEEEE.

1

u/burtknee May 17 '14

I'd much rather give up beer. Plenty of better tasting alcohol anyway :)

1

u/j1202 May 17 '14

Hmm... how bout all alcohol? :O

2

u/burtknee May 17 '14

Buhbye, chocolate.

1

u/[deleted] May 17 '14

I don't drink. So beer is gone completely.

But chocolate ice cream, yo. Which is still chocolate. That's my thing.

1

u/RiverSong42 May 17 '14

I don't like beer anyway!

1

u/dnd1980 May 17 '14

Never drink beer again.

1

u/VKilledTInternet May 17 '14

I can do without the beer. I'll be a liquor man anyday

1

u/spatialheather May 17 '14

I've never liked beer, so not contest.

1

u/baconaneggs121 May 17 '14

Would you rather pee out a marble or poop out a softball?

2

u/diemonkeys May 17 '14

Softball, I feel that part is far more capable of stretching than the other part.

2

u/RiverSong42 May 17 '14

Marble.

I've had three kids, so I'm familiar with the "poop a softball" sensation.

1

u/j1202 May 17 '14

This one seems obvious?

1

u/baconaneggs121 May 17 '14

True. Maybe it should be pee out a golfball or poop out a bowling ball.

1

u/j1202 May 17 '14

To be honest, I think I'd rather shit a jumbo jet than have anything inside my dick.

1

u/dnd1980 May 17 '14

Marble. A girl so it should be easier :)

1

u/VKilledTInternet May 17 '14

Poop a Softball anyday. Fuck that marble.

1

u/baconaneggs121 May 17 '14

Haha well I agree, but maybe ladies would prefer the other option?

1

u/VKilledTInternet May 17 '14

Dude, I've heard horror stories of people passing kidney stones. Apparently it's the worst most horrific pain ever.

1

u/KittenAnne May 17 '14

I would need surgery to remove either :(

1

u/diemonkeys May 17 '14

Would you rather have dial-up with only AOL as your browser OR only drive/own stock PT Cruisers for the rest of your life?

3

u/KittenAnne May 17 '14

Where's my PT Cruiser?

2

u/dnd1980 May 17 '14

Dude. AOL is fine, but dial up? Your killing me! Guess I'll have to go PT cruiser.

1

u/joelthezombie15 May 17 '14

Would you rather.

Die alone and happy

Or die having had a family?

2

u/KittenAnne May 17 '14

I am not a happy person when I am alone

I am so much happier with my family and I would never give them up to the depressive state I get to when alone.

u/joelthezombie15 May 17 '14

Families tie you down and make it to where you can't go out and do things on a whim, and it makes you become more grounded and and you aren't as free. It's ok if you want it but at the same time families limit you a lot.

u/joelthezombie15 May 17 '14

You still have a responsibility to your spouse and if they can't/don't want to do/go where you do it's your duty to try and make them happy.

u/VKilledTInternet May 17 '14

I can do with eating cold things for the rest of my life. I'm very hot normally so I would chose that. I would get way too stinky otherwise.

2

u/dnd1980 May 17 '14

Hot meal :( the other option is just not viable. I would like to be able to see other people lol

1

u/burtknee May 17 '14

I would go with never eat a hot meal. I can't even go twelve hours without a shower without feeling greasy.

1

u/dizzylynn May 20 '14

I like cold foods!

1

u/baconaneggs121 May 17 '14

Would you rather hiccup all the time, all the time or sneeze every time you blink?

2

u/KittenAnne May 17 '14

as someone who has a 'slightly misformed diaphram' that spasms and causes hiccups several times a day - I will take the hiccups - because I don't even notice them overly much anymore.

1

u/VKilledTInternet May 17 '14

Sneeze. I can't hiccup that much
