These are great, I'll add a favorite among my friends: no spreads (no jam, peanut butter, etc) or no pillows (nothing to rest your head on but a hard folded blanket)?

In answer to your questions:

1. Would you rather: a) spraypaint your hair green and get a massive tattoo of an snail on your face or b) get a fake tan and a massive nose piercing

B - obvs permanent face tattoos aren't appealing.

2. Would you rather: a) be forced to watch a video of David Cameron shagging a pig or b) be forced to watch a video of Richard Dawkin mating with a chimpanzee

A - Black mirror woop! Ingenious terrorist gets you to lose faith in politicians.

3. Would you rather: a) eat snails or b) eat poo

A - B just ain't happening

4. Would you rather: a) go on a European sight-seeing tour or b) go on a relaxing Caribean holiday

B - Depends who's paying but already live in Europe so if it's one of those teleport to A or B, I can save air miles going to Jamaica.

5. Would you rather: a) change your diet (e.g. if you are a vegan start eating meat) or b) change your religion

B - Yeah easy to change religious culture your most familiar with, can still lack belief in it, not easy to eat sentient animals.

6. Would you rather: a) find out your son was gay or b) find out your daughter was dating a white man or c) find out your son and daughter are both dating eachother

B - really Zee? Aha yea larger dating pool probably means more comfortable life, probably more community in certain gay scenes but wouldn't wish stigmatization on anyone or to have to worry about assault.

7. Would you rather: a) Have to kiss a blobfish or b) have to kiss a Jew

B - come on now

8. Would you rather: a) be able to fly or b) be able to read minds

A - easy B is a cursed chalice

9. Would you rather: a) be able to go back in time and kill Hitler or b) be able to go back in time and kill Stalin

A - Hitler obvs, no WW2, how is that a question?

Vhy not?

10. Would you rather: a) Atheism never existed or b) Islam never existed

B - I appreciate free thinking too much, but would have said the same for Christianity, that would be an amazingly interesting alternative history, I wonder if monotheism is not just growing pains and if we didn't go through it's initial unifying slave morality we would still be stuck in the bronze-age.

11. Would you rather: a) Have a zombie apocalypse or b) have a World War III

B - the apocalypse is over in a few minutes, atomic bombs land, whoever survives realizes what a stupid move that was, picks up the pieces, zombies are long and drawn out.

12. Would you rather: a) Live in Israel or b) live in North Korea

A - obvs, a shred of political awareness is better than total servility.

13. Would you rather: a) Only be able to eat KFC or b) Only be able to drink Pepsi

B - shit how do you survive though either way? Drink through a straw and find a way to offset the crazy high sugar content every time you're thirsty with some suger absorbing blocking food? Still think you would die faster on just sweetcorn and heavily fried meat though.

14. Would you rather: a) Be able to be invisible at will or b) be able to teleport at will

A - toats safer with the same ability to adventure, can just stay longer doing boardroom espionage and lounging in private resorts unseen.

15. Would you rather: a) Have to tell your kids that the earth is flat and that it is the centre of the solar system or b) have to tell your kids that they came from monkies

B - closer to the truth, easier to jump from that misunderstanding to the real theory

16. Would you rather: a) be a Pirate or b) be a Ninja or c) be a Wizard

C - Pirates today live a short brutal life, not like the privateer days when they out competed the rest, ninjas were just hired longbow men, being a wizard able to bend the laws of physics would be pretty neat.

17. Would you rather: a) End the NSA spying on you or b) end the TSA feeling you up

B for me, A if it's everyone - I'd obvs want to drastically reduce police violence, you can avoid TSA security theater by just not flying.

That's no way to talk about your roommate who you've shared the same computer with for years
