My best friend and I used to do this about potential dating partners like "Would you rather they always wear a local sports team baseball cap or be a super noisy eater?" "Would you rather they listen to the Titanic soundtrack whenever you are driving somewhere in the car or they wear sweaters made from their own cat's hair?"

I was in such a similar place a few months ago!! Working on a book, moving, AND planning a wedding is extremely gruelling work. Make sure you take time to care for yourself! And best of luck settling in!

Clearly you have to just make the person swear to NEVER eat a cake pop again, no matter what, without explanation, and because they love you they will!

Ha! I totally remember this post! Your would-you-rathers are super duper twisted. And they make for really vivid images! Is Adam scared now when you bring one up?!? I hope the remainder of your move, your work, and your wedding planning all move ahead sweetly and easily.

Hell yea this means you were one of the OGs here from the start!!!! Thanks for sticking around!!! I’ve actually found that we play this less now… I think my brain has finally exhausted all possible options

That can't possibly be true! - I'm sure your brain will come up with some more options once it's had a nice rest - AFTER the move, two books, and a wedding. (That sounds like the title of a movie...)

I think the most unhinged one I’ve heard is “would you rather have hair for teeth or teeth for hair” and I still don’t think I’ve recovered from visualizing that🤣🤣🤣🤣

Here is what I presented my husband with yesterday: imagine AI is so good now we can now copy an entire neural network of a person and now there is a chatgpt version of me that acts and speaks exactly like me, it's indistinguishable. And I'm dying, for whatever reason. So now you have this chatgpt version of me, but the thing is we don't actually know if my actual consciousness is transported as well. Of course if you ask it, it would say it's me and conscious but is it because it is a perfect copy and that's what I would say, or is it because my consciousness is genuinely there. Would you allow yourself to use it and have feelings for it, when it might be just a perfect computer program (but maybe not, maybe my real essence would be stuck there!), would you allow our daughter to use it? Would this be better or worse than not having me at all. Anyway. I'm supposed to be looking for a job now.

Awesomely hilarious :D

Here are my explanations for my choices, starter questions only! Because I am trying to have manners & not over-emote :D

- I choose beach because of wider roads when needing to go on the run as apocalypse approaches

- give up eggs because if I think too hard about what they are I will give up eggs today... shhhh

- infinite underwater breath because it opens up habitable options

thx, that was fun!
