Never Fall or World's Greatest Arguer




Choice 1
Never Fall





About:
-From this point on you cannot unintentionally fall down.
-This includes flying in an airplane. If you are on an airplane, it will never fall from the sky and crash.
-Because you cannot unintentionally fall down, you will be really good at extreme sports, and you could use your ability to make money.
-If you are about to fall, the universe auto-corrects your position, and places you upright.
-The auto-correct alters your movement in a way similar to how auto-tune corrects your pitch...so it looks kind of screwy.
-You can fall intentionally, if you so desire.
-You could ride a unicycle instantly.
-You could dominate figure skating.
-You could hold the world record for longest handstand even if you can’t do a handstand.

Rules or Restrictions:
None



Choice 2
World's Greatest Arguer





About:
-From this point on you have the ability to become the world’s greatest arguer.
-You can sway many people’s minds to believe what you want them to believe.
-You can only sway the minds of reasonable people. For example, you could sway the mind of someone to believe that Happy Gilmore is Adam Sandler’s best film, but you could not sway an extremist into considering the opposing view any more than usual. If they aren’t listening to you, they are tuning out your power.
-You are only great at arguing on topics that you are knowledgeable in. However, you can study and gain more knowledge in subjects.
-Term papers and debates will be a breeze, as long as you are somewhat prepared.
-Your arguments will not only be sound in their logic, but elegant in their execution.
-You would make a great lawyer.
-You would be a desirable candidate to work in settings like the president’s cabinet, high profile trials, or in scholarly debates.
-You can use this ability to make money.

Rules or Restrictions:
None

Inner Monologue or Lick Bathroom


This is the third episode in our first series of would you rathers. It's a brand new question. Please vote and comment below.



Choice 1
Inner Monologue on Display





About:
-All internal thoughts voiced in your head are displayed on a scrolling marquee floating above your head.
-Feelings of internal anger, sexual attraction, and judgment are all on display for whoever wants to see.
-The display is large enough that if you were riding a public bus, everyone would see the marquee.
-The display will have an auto-translation feature that displays in whatever language a specific viewer is most fluent in.
-Suggested strategies might include mentally singing your favorite tune to avoid embarrassing yourself in sensitive situations, trying to stay as mindless as possible, etc.
-Your current friends will most likely continue to like you. However, meeting new people and making a good first impression may be much more difficult.
-The only way to obscure your marquee is to interact with others via webcam or a medium that only shows your face.

Rules or Restrictions:
-You cannot cover up the marquee in any way. If you try to put on a large hat to obscure it, it will only look like the marquee is being displayed with a large hat background image. The colors will automatically change to contrast with the background.



Choice 2
Lick NYC Subway Bathroom



Note: It's unlikely you'll be stuck with a bathroom this bad, but I could only find really clean or really dirty bathrooms as examples.


About:
-Once a year, it will be your duty to clean a NYC subway bathroom with only your tongue. When you are done with it, it must be spotless as judged by a slightly balding bathroom cleaning monitor named Mr. Nathaniel.
-You will have one week to clean the bathroom during which it will not be in use by the public.
-Mr. Nathaniel is generally an understanding man who appreciates hard work and steady effort. Throughout the week, he will give you periodic updates on your progress and will be very clear about what he expects from you.
-If you are successful in a number of years, Mr. Nathaniel will grow to be a friend and you will receive a yearly Christmas card from him and his dog Ted.
-The bathroom will be chosen randomly but will at most be a two toilet bathroom with perhaps one urinal.
-Your cleaning duty assignment will be telegraphed to you at a random time each year. It most likely will not occur at regular intervals and may disrupt carefully planned events such as family vacations, graduations, or weddings.
-You will be given full healthcare coverage and can discuss the risks with a highly skilled doctor and take the proper precautions to avoid any disease. However, you are not innately immune to any diseases.
-If you are losing work due to your cleaning duties, you will be put on paid vacation and your job will be understanding of your absence.

Rules or Restrictions:
-If you do not clean the bathroom to Mr. Nathaniel’s liking in a week, he will be forced to kill you in the bathroom with a rusty hammer suspended from his trusty tool belt.
-Although Mr. Nathaniel is generally a jolly man that would greatly regret having to kill you, he is also the type of man that gets done what needs to be done even if it is regrettable.

Lego Builder or Have Clean Shit



This is the second episode in our first series of would you rathers. This one is brand new. Please cast your vote and comment below.

Choice 1
Top Two Lego Builder





About:
-For the rest of your life you are either the world’s greatest Lego builder, or the world’s second greatest Lego builder.
-The skill is gained instantly.
-There can be money in this if you choose to live the life of a Lego builder.
-If you decide to live the life of a Lego builder, competition will arise in the form of a foe from Russia. His name is Ivan Ivanov.
-Year after year, you and Ivan will battle for the title of world’s greatest Lego builder.
-You and Ivan go back and forth one upping each other. For example, when Ivan made an actual size Eiffel Tower that was heralded as the greatest Lego creation ever, you countered by making an actual size Eiffel Tower upside down.
-You will develop a deep hatred for him, while still maintaining a level of respect for his craft.
-Up and coming Lego builders will list you as a major influence on their life, and will often say you were the reason they got into the business...so in that way, you will change people’s lives.
-Once or twice in your life as a Lego builder, you will be asked to appear on a late night talk show. This will be the pinnacle of any mainstream notoriety you experience.

Rules or Restrictions:
-You do not have to exercise this ability. It is simply a skill that you possess.



Choice 2
Have Clean Shit



No toilet paper? No problem.

About:
-From this point forward you will no longer have to wipe your butt after pooping.
-This will be very helpful if you’re camping, or are somewhere else where you need to poop, but do not want to spend much time with the process.
-You will be free from any worry of sharting.
-You will have no need for toilet paper.
-If you do wipe your butt with toilet paper after pooping, nothing will appear on the toilet paper. It will be as clean as a clean thing.
-You will never have to worry about skid marks.
-The poop is still dirty. It is only the evidence that the poop was there that disappears.

Rules or Restrictions:
-This does not remove the possibility of pooping your pants. If you do poop your pants, it will be dirty...you know, because the poop is still dirty.
