We make choices every day. Some of them are easy, some not so much. Now, what would you do if every decision was so difficult that no option felt like the obvious pick? That’s exactly what this “Would You Rather” poll is about.

You’ll go through 31 tricky dilemmas. In each of them, you’ll have to choose between two options. They might be weird, frustrating, or just impossible. But there’s no in-between in this poll—you have to pick a side, no matter how unfair or ridiculous the choice may be.

So, ready to make some tough calls? Let’s get started! 🎲

I don't need much to be happy. As long as I can buy food, pay the bills and afford the odd trip to the movies and a few simple holidays, I'm good.

    If you were to know the cause of your death, you’ll constantly be scared of that thing (if it’s not of old age), but if you knew the date, you’ll constantly wouldn’t worry until the date.

    Note that it doesn’t say “would you rather be more intelligent or more empathetic”. If the hypothetical situation made you KNOWN for these attributes without increasing them, I’d rather be known for my empathy.

    I couldn't answer, I'm currently itching and sneezing due to seasonal allergies. Sneezing doesn't help and no amount of scratching relieves the itching. Right now, it feels tempting to have your head in a glass jar like in Futurama.

    If you choose $5,000 a week, you’ll get $1,000,000 in about four years. Assuming you have more than four years to live, you’ll make more money than if you chose $1,000,000 upfront.

    Endless summer. Winter is great and all, but it gets boring after a while. There are almost no plants growing, the trees have no leaves, nothing but a frigid, snowy wasteland all around. In the summer, you can grow plants, and you don’t have to wear three layers every time you step outside.
