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.
