Would You Rather?

Have you ever heard a Would You Rather and thought that the right answer was blatantly obvious? That's me every time I play. For those of you thinking there are no right answers to this game, you're playing it wrong. I've compiled a list of some Would You Rathers that I've heard over the years along with explanations of why there is clearly a right answer...my answer of course.

Today's post is dedicated to my good friend Hannah, who always wants to play Would You Rather. I wish her the best of luck in London next year and I hope she takes whitegirlwednesday international. 

Would you rather...

tumblr didn't exist or wikipedia didn't exist?
-tumblr
Wikipedia has been the official sponsor of my collegiate career. I literally couldn't live without it. I can't tell you how many papers I could not have written were it not for Wikipedia. Likewise, I can't tell you how much better I would have done on said papers if I weren't so distracted by Tumblrs.

iPhones didn't exist or Google didn't exist?
-Google
I will admit that Google is one of my favorite verbs and I say "I'll Google it" approximately five times a day. But there are alternative search engines, my particular favorite is GoodSearch, which donates to charity every time you search something, making me feel less guilty for searching things like "dogs in pajamas" and "things to eat cookie dough with." But there is NO close alternative to the iPhone. I am not ashamed to say I can't imagine a life without emojis and iMessage. You will have to pry my iPhone from my cold, dead hands to separate us.

be blind or deaf?
-deaf
I can explain this one in two words. Closed captioning. A life never having to hear Fran Drescher's voice compared to a life never seeing Channing Tatum? Obvi.

sing when you talk or run when you walk?
-sing when you talk
I'm sure my friends would rather I run all the time instead of sing all the time, but running is on my "Don't Do" List. I believe in running strictly for survival. I already sing on an hourly basis anyway. If I had a decent voice, you'd never be able to get me to shut up. For all you know, I'm singing these words right now as I'm typing.

have more time or more money?
-money
I've always said that the expression "money can't buy happiness" is completely off base. Clothes, shoes, and miniature turtles all make me happy and can all be bought with money. The saying should be "money can't buy contentness" because that is totally true, eventually that turtle will die. But having more time would not be nearly as beneficial as we think. If you're anything like me, first of all, congratulations, and second of all, you don't spend your time very wisely. Having more time would just mean wasting more time, so always go with the money.
