10 on the 10th: June 2024-Summertime Would You Rathers

10 on the 10th is a monthly series hosted by Marsha in the Middle and is open to anyone who wants to join. You can share your answers in Marsha’s link party if you have a blog or you can share your answers in the comment section. It is such a fun way to offer more information about ourselves and to learn interesting new things about others. The questions posed provide a great avenue for starting new conversations, making meaningful connections with new people, and having a good hearty chuckle every now and then.

For June, Marsha has returned to her favorite Would You Rather format. Would You Rather questions, no matter how silly they may be, really provoke some thinking. Without further ado, let’s get right to what I would rather do in the following situations.

1. Would you rather go camping in a camper (your pick or style) or stay at a five star resort?

Before I started camping in a tent with my family, I would have answered a five star resort. But now I don’t mind camping so much and a camper would be a major upgrade for me. Also, I am not really a fan of the ostentatiousness of fancy resorts and the inherent waste that comes from such luxuries. So I would much rather go camping in a camper…any style will do! Although a really cool vardo might be nice. A girl can dream, can’t she?

2. Would you rather watch a movie in the backyard of a good friend’s house or go to your favorite band’s concert with your worst enemy?

Since I really have no desire to do anything with a person who might be classified as my worst enemy, I would rather watch a movie in a good friend’s backyard. Provided I have lots of bug spray or a mosquito net!

3. Would you rather have chub rub because you forgot your protective gear or a big blister on your heel because you’re wearing cute but new shoes?

I would rather chub rub over a big fat heel blister. Blisters take forever to heal and they hurt like hell. A little bit of Aquaphor goes a long way fast to ease the discomfort of chub rub. So chub rub it is!

4. Would you rather meet your great-great-grandparent or your great-great-grandchild?

Oooh, Marsha, this is one of those really thought provoking Would You Rathers! It would be really cool to meet both. But you are making me choose just one! I think I would rather meet my great-great-grandchild because I can find stuff out about my great-great-grandparents if I did enough research. I can’t know anything about my great-great-grandchildren until they are born!

5. Would you rather be hot and sweaty in the humid outdoors or cold and shivering in an overly air conditioned room?

Although both scenarios are extra terrible during premenopause, I would much rather be cold and shivery in an overly air conditioned room. As long as I am permitted to add layers. When you get hot and sweaty, you can only take off so many clothes. Then you are left with your hot and sweaty skin suit that you cannot take off. I will take cold over “wanting to peel off my skin” hot!

6. Would you rather eat a melted candy bar or a piece of cold pizza?

Well, I love cold pizza. But I can no longer eat pizza because the cheese will make me sick. I really don’t like vegan cheese either. I have tried them all! So at this stage of my life, to prevent a violent cheese exorcism, I would rather eat a melted candy bar. And I would be really sad about it, too. Unless it looked like the melty mess in the image below. It would not make me sad at all to eat that.

7. Would you rather go for a day without access to any social media or emails or would you rather have to remain on social media all day long?

I absolutely would rather go for a day without access to social media, emails, or any other advanced technology. In fact, I am really looking forward to our festival camping trip next weekend where we spend 4 days and 3 nights in a tent without any cellular service at all. And I love every minute of it!

8. Would you rather dress like a person from the 1950s or the 2050s?

I would rather dress like a person from the 2050s. I think. The 2020s are a decade of anything goes when it comes to fashion and personal style so I imagine that the “anything goes” mentality will pervade into the 2050s. As much as I love the different style aesthetics from all the decades of fashion history, the 1950s may have been a bit too strict for my bohemian soul.

9. Would you rather eat ice cream covered in pizza sauce or pizza covered in chocolate sauce?

Both are gross, Marsha! But I would rather eat the ice cream covered in pizza sauce. As I said in answer 6, I can’t eat pizza, vegan or otherwise, but I do enjoy non-dairy ice cream. Can I pick the flavor to go with the pizza sauce???

10. Would you rather fly like Superman or swim like Aquaman?

I would rather swim like Aquaman. I am much too afraid of heights for flying. But I am a strong swimmer. So let me be like Aquaman!
