Would You Rather: Questions 191 - 200


191. Would you rather have the ability to see minutes into the future or years into the future?

This is interesting...I think minutes in the future would be too much at some point. However, years in the future can be really daunting. Especially so for the psyche. I'll go with minutes into the future, especially in moments of angst or danger. Can there be a limit per year? Maybe, like replay challenges in sports? 

I'd like to use my challenge, please - can I see what will happen in the next few minutes?

192. Would you rather have telekinesis (the ability to move things with your mind) or telepathy (the ability to read minds)?

I want no part of reading other people's minds. Nah uh! Nope! While I often ponder what exactly happens in the minds of others, it's likely one of those thoughts that needs to be left to the imagination. 

Moving things with my mind can be pretty cool. The remote control immediately comes to mind. 

193. Would you rather be forced to sing along or dance to every single song you hear?

Sing. I sort of do this already - I'm a lyrics guy. 

Dancing is reserved only for those songs that evoke an individual's emotions. Just my opinion. 

194. Would you rather find true love today or win the lottery next year?

What if I already have true love? Can I win the lottery next year - and have both?!

195. Would you rather be in jail for five years or be in a coma for a decade?

Hmmm, not sure I want to do jail. Give me the coma. I'll jump ahead ten years and figure it out. 

196. Would you rather be chronically under-dressed or overdressed?

Over-dressed. You can play it off as fashionable. Or, I'm just a thorough person. Underdressed can be sen as disrespectful and leads to too many stigmatizing slippery slopes. 

197. Would you rather have everyone you know be able to read your thoughts or for everyone you know to have access to your Internet history?

I can argue that it likely will be one of the same, especially these days. The number of random things I Google or search. What was that actor's name from that movie...?

My thoughts are mine. You don't need to get in there (as I mentioned above with me with others). Have free rein to judge me through my browser. 

198. Would you rather lose your sight or your memories?

This is a low-key good one. 

Oddly, I think I would choose memories. What are we without our lived experiences?!

199. Would you rather have universal respect or unlimited power?

Respect is what I want to say. But as a human being, unlimited power is VERY tempting. 

So, I give in - give me the POWEERRRRRRRRRR!!!!

200. Would you rather give up air conditioning & heating for the rest of your life or give up the Internet for the rest of your life?

Internet. At one point in my life, this was actually a reality. Weird, but true.

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

The Pondering 10 - Yankees All-Decade Team for 2010s

I thought I would stay away from the "all-decade" shenanigans, but I got suckered in after all. Around here, end of year rankings, reviews, and reflections rule, so why not compose a list that embodies it all? And why not put together a list around my beloved Yankees? Especially in a decade in which they DID NOT win the World Series. Gasp! With all of that said, please see below not only my list of the Yankees All-Decade Team (because everyone can filter by position), but also by importance and contribution throughout the decade.

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 8/9/26

The Sunday Sundown Rundown (formerly in the format of "3 Up and 3 Down") is where I share thoughts on three topics that piqued my interest, along with my favorite photo from the week. WNBA Madness Welp, the WNBA has found itself in the middle of a culture war after the satirical (hopefully?) video of Enes Freedom (fka Kanter) declaring for the upcoming WNBA Draft. The WNBA continues to be a super fascinating entity. As likely this country's premier women's league, it has been the root of so many discussions - this one being the "protection of women in sports".  Here are ten super quick ponderings on this:  The WNBA has made its identity over the years as being extremely vocal in the political space. Regardless of your opinion, that positioning puts them at risk for these kinds of stunts.  I've long thought the commissioner, league, someone - anyone? - should have had players, coaches, and all tone down the continued politics. Not to suppress freedom of s...
