Would You Rather Questions: 211-220


211. Would you rather have a pause or a rewind button in your life?

A rewind button would imply the ability to do things over, or again. While that would be great, it does take the essence out of life. You win some, you lose some, and ultimately, you learn. 

It would be nice to pause in specific moments to make them last longer, or to simply slow the decision-making process down. We've all been there in becoming overwhelmed in a moment, and either not understanding it fully or missing out. 

212. Would you rather always have a full phone battery or a full gas tank?

I understand the (over) reliance on our phones in today's world. But I'm going with gas as plugging in a phone is more convenient (and maybe cheaper?). 

213. Would you rather lose all of your teeth or lose a day of your life every time you kissed someone?

This is...weird? 

Give me eventual vaneers. No way, I'm kissing my wife. 

214. Would you rather oversleep every day for a week or not get any sleep at all for four days?

I used to be able to get away with limited sleep - not anymore. Not in my 40s. I feel it EVERY TIME my body and mind don't get adequate sleep. I'll deal with oversleeping and rushing through the morning routine. 

HEy, theres a chance you can still make it on time.

215. Would you rather get trapped in the middle of a food fight or a water balloon fight?

Been there on the food fight thing. Not fun. 

I'll take the water balloon fight, especially on a hot summer day.

216. Would you rather be able to take back anything you say or hear any conversation that is about you?

Ooooooooh! This is sort of a take on the above question - deleting comments you say are interesting. I think I'll go this route, we all put our foot in our mouths, this would give me a chance to minimize that. 

Hearing any conversation about me would mess with my psyche. I don't need that, and in many cases, I'm not sure I would care. 

217. Would you rather be the absolute best at something that no one takes seriously or be average at something well respected? 

What does it mean to be average at something well respected? What is that something?! Am I average at being a doctor - because that's not good! 

I'll go being awesome at being the best at something no one takes seriously. That makes for a fun fact and an interesting story. I was once amazing at MVP Baseball 2005 for the PlayStation 2. Does that qualify?

218. Would you rather travel the world free for a year or have $50,000 to spend however you please? 

Travel the world for free. 

There is NO WAY 50K is equivalent to that option these days. 

219. Would you rather stay the age you are physically forever or stay the way you are now financially forever?

This is a tough one. I'm not sure I would want to stay the same age physically forever or financially forever. I believe there is some beauty in aging. And with inflation the way it is, there is no chance I would want to be locked in forever. 

I guess I'll pick staying where I'm at here at 40 years of age, forever. Not too bad, I guess. 

220. Would you rather have a photographic memory or an IQ of 200? 

You mean like Mike Ross from Suits? He got pretty far on photographic memory. 

I still think I'll choose an IQ of 200. Remembering sounds like it can get exhausting.

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...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/13/26

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. 25th Anniversary of 9/11 It is sort of hard to imagine that it has been twenty-five years since that awful day. It's been fifteen years since I've shared my experience as a High Schooler in Brooklyn, NY , and everything that came with that day (and the many to follow afterwards).  The world changed, and to this day, it still feels hard to grasp what happened (and what transpired with the health of so many afterwards). The lives lost, and the damage done. My son learned about 9/11, and his questions around it ignite some of that struggle with thought around it.  Daddy, how did they get the planes?  Did the building just, like, fall over?  On this 25th anniversary, it is even more concerning to see how the day is also politicized and sometimes weaponized in culture wars. I remember Americ...

Yankees Postseason 2026, ALDS vs. Rays

This is easily the most anticipated series (and most expected?) for the New York Yankees. The two best teams during the regular season were expected to clash to determine American League prominence.  And yes, I agree that this upcoming series says a lot about the broken playoff structure in MLB. Allow me to step onto my soapbox for a mere moment... Up we go... I've never been a fan of the expansion to six teams per league. I understand that it keeps more markets in the playoff picture come September, and it is more revenue for all (likely, the biggest reason for the expansion). Still, all it did was create a scenario where division winners were at a disadvantage, and what we're getting here is the two best teams in the league facing off in a five-game series.  Ultimately, the Tampa Bay Rays, the top seed in the American League, are given the second-best record in their first-round, in a best-of-five?  None of this makes sense.  Stepping off now... Nonetheless, fellow...
