NO ONE WANTS THIS... _ Would You Rather #11

Welcome to Would You Rather, where we explore the impossible choices that put our values and priorities to the test. I'm your host, Markiplier, and today we're diving into some fascinating conundrums.

Our first question is straightforward: would you rather be a famous athlete in the Olympics, known all around the world, or be a famous actor, only known in America? Now, I know what you're thinking - how can an actor be famous in America if they're only performing for Americans? But let's assume we're taking this literally. Being a famous athlete means being ripped as shit, very capable, but also likely to fade into obscurity after the peak years of their life. On the other hand, being a famous actor offers the potential for lifelong fame, but it comes with its own set of challenges and uncertainties.

For me, I'd rather be the famous athlete. I think the thrill of competition, the rush of adrenaline when you're on stage, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with pushing yourself to new heights are worth the potential drawbacks. Plus, let's be real - being an Olympian is a pretty enviable feat. But hey, being a famous actor has its own perks - you get to snub out scenes like it's no big deal, and who wouldn't want to play that role? But I'm sticking with my athlete vibe.

But wait, there's another question! Would you rather be the president or a Pokémon trainer? Now, this one is an interesting choice. As someone who's never been particularly interested in politics, I'd have to go with... well, neither, actually. Why would anyone want to be the president when you could experience the thrill of adventure and exploration that comes with being a Pokémon trainer? It's not like you'd just be some ordinary trainer; no, you'd be living in a world where Pokémon exist, and that's a pretty cool prospect.

But then again, being the president does come with its own set of perks. You get to make decisions that shape the future of your country, and who knows - maybe you'll even get to meet Chica, the lovable Pikachu mascot. But for me, it's gotta be Pokémon trainer all the way. I mean, can you imagine having to deal with a world where animals start shooting lightning at people? No thanks.

Now we've got another question that really gets to the heart of things: would you rather taste the same flavor of food or taste nothing ever again? This one is an interesting philosophical conundrum. If you were to taste only one flavor, could it be something complex like chicken and dumplings? Or would you settle for something more straightforward like cheese or Gouda? And then there's the flip side: if you could taste nothing ever again, wouldn't that just make food a dull, utilitarian experience?

I've got to say, I'd rather have the same flavor. There's something to be said for enjoying a simple pleasure in life, even if it means never experiencing the thrill of discovery or variety. And let's be real - some foods are just better when you can appreciate their nuances without distraction. But on the other hand, I can see how tasting nothing ever again could have its own appeal. At least then you'd know exactly what you're getting every time.

And finally, we've got a question that really gets to the core of human flexibility: would you rather have stretchable legs or stretchable arms? Now, this one is an interesting conundrum. On the one hand, having stretchable legs would be super useful - you could wear long pants and then not have to worry about them getting in the way when you need to kick someone in the shins. But on the other hand, wouldn't that just be a weird social awkwardness? And what about playing piano or doing surgery?

But wait - I've got another advantage to stretchable arms: they'd come in handy during weddings and other formal events where you want to give your partner a hug but also not get too close. You could do a fancy spiral arm dance and then untangle with a flourish at the end! So, while having stretchable legs might have its perks, I think I'll stick with my arms - at least until they become really useful for something else entirely.

And that's all for today, folks! Thanks for joining me on this journey through Would You Rather. Until next time...

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enHello everybody my name is Markiplier and welcome back to Would You Rather?Now we've got an interesting question right off the batWould you rather be a famous athlete in the Olympics known all around the world, or,Be a famous actor known only in America?Now I don't know how you could be an actor in projects that are made in America because they are strewn about the worldBut let's assume that we're taking this very literally if you're an actor in AmericaAnd you're famous you're only known to the people in AmericaAnd if you're an American in America acting to Americans that might be all you care about, but let's assumethat I care about more because being a famous athlete means that I'mRipped as shitvery capablebutProbably not gonna be ever as famous as that actor because to be known around the world like I'm assuming we're thinkingUsain Bolt level of famous Olympic athlete who is probably the most famous Olympic athlete right nowHe is very well-known, but at the same timeI don't know if he has the same futurepotential because if you're a famous actor you can snuff out and day like that's obvious but if you're a famous athleteYour fame is only localized to the peak years of your lifeAnd then maybe after that you get left alone and you can coachAnd you can teach like if you're a famous actor only known in AmericaI- *Computer sounds*- OUghExcuse you- I don't know if you're gonna go very far. I think I'd rather be the famous athleteHey and people agree with me, okay, good, good to know.Would you rather be- be the president or be a Pokemon trainer?I don't know why anyone would actually want to be the presidentWhy would you want that kind of stress in your life when you could be a Pokemon trainer?Which is equally probably boring because?you'd probably end up being one of those Pokemon trainers that justIs one of the people that Ash encounters on the road or one of the fodder people?Well, I guess then you'd live in a world with Pokemon, but see me I've never really cared about PokemonOkay, this is where I'm probably gonna divide the entire audience in half.I've never really been that big of a fan of PokemonI watched it as a kid. I played Red, and then I was done because that's really all you needed to know and the-Where the places where it's gone, I mean I've even played like Pokemon Go a little bit, and then I stoppedBut. I just, I don't know I don't really wantPokemon to be real because I don't want to I don't want to deal with that on a day-to-day basisYou know I don't want. I don't want to walk out the door and have animals start shooting lightning at meYou know I don't- I don't want I don't wanna cat, you know, that's not really a cat. You knowI like Chica the way Chica is I'm assuming wait no if I'm a Pokemon trainer and then pokemon exists in real lifeI'm gonna assume that that means that all the animals that currently exist don't exist anymore and if i have to live in a world without ChicaI ain't gonna live in that worldSo I'd rather be the President sheerly out of the fact that Chica is more important to me than any goddamn PokemonAnd I will fight you on that oneThis is mah fightin faceWould you rather taste the same flavor of food or taste nothing ever againSo you're saying would I rather taste only one flavor of food- can that flavor be chicken and dumplings can it be somethingThat's like very complex like chicken and dumplings could that be the only flavor that I have because if that's what I gotThen I'm fine with that or could that be cheese the flavor of cheese the flavor of likeGouda or cheddar or something like that wait no hey, whoa whoa everybody hold up if you can taste nothing ever againWhich would suck it would suck, but that means foodonly becomes a thing of sustenance to you, so you never have to binge eatYou never really get joy out of eating, but you can get joy out of other things, tooAnd you remove control of this one thing in your life like you wouldn't have to worry about dieting ever againYou would only eat as much as you needThe same thing would happen if you taste the same flavor so you might as well make that flavor something goodAnd then it's bland and then it's monotonous, but that's the only thing like food is food. It's like a dog eating rocksThey're still happy,those rocks probably taste the exactly the same across the board and you know they would love to get treatsBut if a dog doesn't have treats, you know that dogs still gonna be happy because other things in life give it joy.So I'm gonna go with that. I'm gonna go with the same flavor. Yeah.Would you rather have stretchable legs or stretchable arms?hmmm, I don'tYou know I never been faced with this conundrum, so just like I could either be really tall at all times*Laughs*Or be real gorilla-like at all timesSo I mean it's kind of likeI guess having stretchable arms would be really useful because then you could play a piano across the roomStretchable arms you could like do surgery on a patient like way down there while relaxing on a bridgebut if you had stretchable legs you could kick someone in the shins like from really far awayorWhen- when you say you're gonna shove your boot up their ass you could actually like really do itlike that's an advantageIf you have stretchable arms you can like- you know when they do that thing at weddings and such where they wrap arms around eachOther well you can do like a fancy multi spiralAnd then really sip it down and and untangle like have a little bit of flourish at the end there.These are not really useful-useful things. If you had stretchable legs you could wear really long pants andThen you could not wear really long pantsYou have the preference that flexibilities thing is something you can't buy with money if you have really long armsThen you could hug like 20 people at onceyou could be like- I could go to a panel be like \"bring it in\" andBlulu- Oh hey Chica! How's it going? sorry I booped your nose-If you had stretchable legs you could- you could if you miss your flight, and it's already taken offYou could be like wait open the door and just leg up and stepIn and then leg back, okay?If you had really long arms you could- you could uh- you could do that thing to your friend?We stretch around tap them on the other shoulder, but you're like across the roomAnd they'll have no idea what's going on cuz they're totally aloneThey think they're- they think no one's there if you have really long legs you could- you could- you could really ownHopscotch you would do great at it. Maybe? If you had really long armsYou could reenact that scene from Space Jam where Michael Jordan went up and was likeMy arms real stretchy, and then slam dunk it. You just have to get some Monstars with youIf you had stretchable legs that means you could stretch them in right so if someone like tries to punch at youInstead of going like up you go down. You're likeWhoop!And you just kind of *Whoop* down, and then you go up againAnd you do the thing where you make your legs all stretchyAnd you're like whoa and you likemake your legs you do that thing that was a that's a fun maneuver if you had stretchable arms you could like go into aVending machine and like snake around stretchable arms it just seems to be winning, okayYeah, that that makes a lot of senseOkayWould you rather find out your girlfriend is pregnant as in the next ten seconds or find out you can never have kids again?Uh.Well, I don't really want kids right now, this is a doozy as a questionI think I'm gonna go with the not having kids because I don't even know if I want kids, I don'tMaybe but you can adopt. Adopting is fine. I just don't want to find out if someone's pregnantI've gotta go with I'm gonna go with never having kids cuzAdoption always an option!lose your front teeth in a skateboarding accident or break your hands on a bike?Are you- di- wha-Did I just did I punch a bike? Did I break my hands trying to get into the gears is this some horrible stretchy-armAccident where I tried to like pedal with my stretchy arms and they got caught in the gears and is all like snapCrackle and pop and I'm all like \"Ah!Damn these stretch hands. I should have gone with stretch legs\"I could have been biking a really tall bikesyou know those bikes that are like the big wheel in the small wheel that were old you could bike one of those?with stretchy legsShit, I'll break my hands. I'll break my hands is what I say all right?Would you rather be a sports star or a celebrated academic?Let's go academic? I don't want to get I don't wanna get hurtI'll go academic. No one's gonna hurt being I can be the really long-legged stretchy legged academic. That's so that's my secretOh, yeah, I'll go academic. I'll go academicAlso like the future potential of an academic is a little higher than a sports star.Alright, would you rather lose- OhhhhhhhhLose your mind or lose your significant otherOh do they die I'm guessing that means they die Oh?Or do they just break up with me because that would be better. I guess losing your mindThat's such a horrible thing, but also losing your significant other theyEuh. Oh Aw. I don't wanna. OhhhGod goddamn losing your mindTo some kind of like degenerative disease. This is a hard one. Maybe it doesn't mean deathMaybe they just break up with me which would be better than death it wouldn't be good, but at least no one'sPermanently disabled, or dead.Let's see I wouldn't want to live if I knew that my mind was gone permanentlybut then I wouldn't know so like in myRational moment right now. I wouldn't want to do that but losing your significant otherThat's a horrible thing and I wouldn't wish that on anyoneI see if it came down to a choice of me dying or my significant other dyingI would of course choose myself like a that's no question, but this isn't really that choice. Is it? I don't know likeI gotta go with lose your mind if I had to make a choiceYou know I I if I have to put this as a choice of like meVersus my significant other that I gotta go with me. I just gotta go yeah, I'll bear that ohGod that's such a rough one. Would you rather soil yourself and have nobody no or not so yourselfbut everyone thinks you did well IMean, this is quite a quite a 180 from the last oneI'll shit my pants and have nobody know because I'll just deal with that I'd rather notEveryone think I shat my pants because that shit will come back to haunt you in ghosts form- ghost poopI'll go with soil myself. All right, would you rather listen to Rebecca Black or Justin Bieber?I'm gonna go with some good old Jay Biebs. Oh go Jay aweWould you rather eat every meal mix with carbonara sauce or drink every drink mixed with four loko? Oh?I'm loco for four loko give me some four l.... I mean. I'll die I can't drink alcohol so that doesn't workI mean carbonara sauce that's not bad if I just eat pasta all the timeThat's not the worst thing in the world. I guess yeah, I get thatI just can't drink I would go for the four loko, but I die I can't drink alcoholwould you rather have your left leg be painlessly amputated and only be allowed to be use a peg leg as a pro-*GASPS*Be a pirate?? Because that's what happens if you get a peg leg you are a pirateThat's all you do. I have to grow a beard. I have to live on a shipI have to go out and have scurvy. I have to rob people on the Seas. I have a sword I have a parrot that's amazingWhat's even the other one?I don't even need to know have one of your toes be amputated with the dirty cleaver every year until you have none leftYeah, I'm gonna be the fucking pirate. I'm gonna be a pirateFuck yeah, would you rather pull all of your toenails out or pull all of your hair out I?Just imagine like oh god cuz I have Trypophobia, I just imagine likeAlthough a hair getting ripped out in the aftermath Oh oh no my skin scrawled oh, noI'm gonna go with the toenail not because like it'd be preferableBut just because I don't have to deal with the other oneOh god the visual of that is killing my mindwould you rather kill Godzilla and have half the city destroyed because of it everyone will know you or kill the Kraken and save thecity from future catastrophe without anybody knowingohOkaySo let's assume that the kra.. Kraken was gonna destroy the cityBut nobody dies nobody knows it or Godzilla half the city gets destroyed, but everyone knows you did itWell, I mean it's really a conundrum like it's not me. That's causing the problem. This is like the car dilemmaYou're in a car right you're driving downThere's three people in the road in front of you you were gonna hit them. No matter what your brakes are goneYou cannot stop, but you can swerve, but if you swerveThere's one person in the road you will kill that one person or you will kill three whether or not by your inactionWhat you can do nothing about it?You will kill three people or you can do something about it, and it will kill one person. That's like the moral dilemmaIt's your active choice to kill that one personBut if you don't act three people will die.For me the answer is obvious. or- or like actually no there was social status behind it,it's like three old people or three thieves and criminals versus onemother. It's like do youSacrifice one for the good of the many few for the many or thatbut this is not to do with any of this this is just for self gratification so of course I would be an asshole ifI pick half the city, but everyone knows me. I'm a hero but only in my mindBut they don't know that but no one knows that anything will happen. Maybe these just happenAnd I I do that but to be perfectly honest, okay, let's just be rational about this the Kraken lives in the oceanI ain't going in the fucking ocean. It ain't gonna happenI ain't gonna do that.I'm sorry. I can't do that. I gotta go with GodzillaSorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry half the city. I can't go in the ocean. OkayOh, oh oh GodWow okay, would you rather be stalked by a ghost for your entire life?Or be stalked by a demon for three daysAnd then dieI'm gonna assume that this isn't a ghost that you can communicate with this is a ghost that's always thereAlways haunting youAlways trying to mess with you or a demonWho's gonna kill you in three days?It's whether you- you- it's the question of whether you can live with a ghost scaring you every day of your lifeOr you die in three days to a demon either way, it's gonna happenAnd I'm gonna leave this one up to you not because I don't want to see itKinda, I mean, I don't want to deal with itBut I want to leave you guys with something so which would you rather do and why?Why would you be okay-The ghost is not gonna be your friendthe ghost is not gonna like you the ghost hates you it's like the ghost of your worst enemy andthis ghost just wants to mess with you and ruin your life all your life orYou're gonna die from a demonThat's what it is, so I'll leave it up to you give your justification down the comments belowThank you everybody so much for watching and as always I will see you in the next videoBuh-bye!!!\n"
